I‘ve heard several breeders say that long flowering lines produce better resin if you let them reach maturity before flowering (60-90 days veg)
If I were to do a seed run by flowering immature long-flowering plants, would this effect the future generations ability to produce the quality resin that I’m looking for?
Would epigentics play a role here?
Immature plants have an immature high. Often preferred by immature people. Kids love cookies.
Long flowering plants … how they deliver thier high, and their effects will be indicative of that long flowering time .
It takes their high a long time to take effects and to peak. The effects of their high is delivered in slow climbing linear manner. You barely notice the increase. It is slow and smooth if taken at the right time and cured properly.
This type of bud is for the people who likes their high delivered in that manner.
As you know a lot of people do, or there wouldn’t be such a huge landrace following.
I have a couple of crosses that can deliver in the same manner, if I didn’t, how would I know about it.
I took that high and updated it. First it doesn’t take 20 weeks to get it. I can produce it in10 wks max. Plus deliver a high that comes on quicker. But not to quick as to cause stress. Its so linear that it’s elevates one into s euphoric state.
It’s laid back and relaxing making it fulfilling. I deliver it with real psychological effects that will alter your brains perspective in multiple ways. That’s what I call the trippy effect. Your senses become enlightening as the are bombarded with different ways of feeling old things. It’s very therapeutic. Addictive as well. Just the way I like it.
Totally get you on the immature harvest.
I was talking about photoperiods where the plant may or may not have been in a vegetative state long enough to mature fully and produce the spectrum of resin it would be capable of as a longer vegged plant?
Would the immature veg period effect the seed progeny in any way?
Hopefully that’s a bit more clear. It’s an epigenetic-based question.
Imo thats simply not like that, the plant itself has a stablished veg time, if you put them under flowering photoperiod they will still take some time before they enter flowering to veg until they mature. In the case of the longflowerings, this strains grow usually under 13 h day max usually, that means they are usually a 6 month crop, so no 90 veg days for these! And I can sure tell you they pack a punch on resin, but anyway you could do a test and make a topic here about it!
That’s makes sense about the veg time.
I don’t do it often, however I did put one 1 in 12/12 from drop and that plant wasn’t all there in potency as you inquired.
You wouldn’t think they were the same plant when comparing the longer vegged ones to the one that was ran 12/12 from seed.
It would be something I will test again to verify.
I have seen it as a recommendation from only a few breeders, and it’s usually people who have a fair amount of experience with longer flowering genetics.
Good to know you’ve noticed it too. Probably makes sense to spend the extra veg time if I were to do it for a seed increase just to avoid any loss even if it is minor.
You the man Blu!
Brother I have done a lot of lung testing when it come to the best time to take my stuff.
I have taken plants that i couldn’t even see the trichs on when I took them. Then hung that plant up and smoked them when dried.
The only difference in the high produced by the very early plant, versus the high of full term plant, was due to the amount of trichs on the plant at the time of harvest.
The high of the plant taken early took longer to produce effects. Even when a considerable larger amount was consumed. But as the effects of the high reached it peak, which took considerably longer than my usual 2-5 minutes, however it still produced the same high with the same intensity and same effects of the full term plants.
I’m sure it’s plant/ strain specific, but when I decide I need a plants space, I will wait until it produces a decent amount of trichs… usually about 3 weeks in, the I’ll chop and hang it.
I’ll barely give it time to dry good… and will be smoking. And be satisfied with the smoke.
Me, I would concentrate on a specific long flowering strain, instead of using the vague generalization, that old headers placed on cannabis.
