I thought I'd throw some canna talk in here. This is about the Asian Haze I just chopped and the clones I took from her.
I think it could be interesting convo.
The clone I took from her is building bud and frost quite nicely. With the tiny footprint of high intensity light on this old LED light, I have to keep a close eye on the PAR it's getting. Just like the outdoor girls, once the buds reach a certain size, her upwards growth is pretty much stopped. She's reached her stopping point. I'm gonna let her run to see what kind of bud structure she'll put out with better light.
With the way this strain grows quickly during veg and doesn't have flower stretch, I think she could be grown indoors with good results. I think keeping it 18/6 or 20/4 and training her pretty hard to get a good even and wide canopy and then flipping to 12/12 to finish her out. My reasoning behind this thought process, is based on both cuttings did nothing but grow upwards under 18/6 when I was spraying the bigger cutting with STS. As soon as I flipped to 12/12 to try and get something going with the STS girl going, BOTH cuttings started to flower and stopped their upwards growth in roughly a week once the buds got to about 'pinky fingernail' size.
With my limited experience with non-autos(NONE!), I'm only basing this on observation. When growing outdoors, I can only assume that the declining daylight hours triggers flowering, once the hormone levels come up enough, maybe why the smaller girl flowered outside first.
I ASSUME that girls grown from seed indoors, would veg inside longer with a steady 18/6 and act just like the cuttings I took. With this strain being a fast-photo or semi-auto, I assume the flowering hormones would eventually get to the levels to trigger flowering if left on 18/6. The cuttings did act just like photos as soon as I flipped them to 12/12, without the photo flower stretch growth spurt.
I could be all screwed up on my thinking or reasoning behind why this could work, but it's just based on what I've done and observed.
Buds have grown since this Sunday pic.
