How to Grow Weed
Chapter Seven
Going for the Gold
The last 2-4 weeks of nurturing your girls in the 12/12 flowering cycle.
Currently, the average complete growing period from Day#1 of 20/4 [20 hours lights on, 4 hours total dark], through the final day of 12/12 [12 hours lights on, 12 hours total dark], and harvest’ is 9 weeks or 63 days. Take 1 week in between harvest, curing, staring endlessly at the buds and admiring your craft, thoroughly clean and flush the systems before restarting the regeneration cycle of 12/4.
These growth cycles will vary with the type of plant, the growing medium and the environment. The experienced grower with a controlled room and good mother stock may cycle to harvest in 6 weeks.
Once you have made all the predictable mistakes most new gardeners encounter, you have the advantage of seeing the signs and acting accordingly. This usually means not doing anything drastic or trying to rush the growth of the crop.
In the total 9-week cycle, the 1st 3-4 weeks are kept on 20/4, then switched directly to 12/12 for the next 5-6 weeks of flowering growth. Many growers choose a shorter foliage cycle in the 20/4 phase, sometimes 10 days to 2 weeks. Since all the cloning is done in one grow room, this grower keeps everything on the same cycle and finds that the bit of extra time in the foliage stage makes for a stronger plant. Most of the actual plant growth occurs in the flowering phase at which time your girls may double or triple their size.

"WOW - This book has everything." |

"Works like magic!" Chances are this is quite possibly the first and only time that I have ever seen anything produce real and tangible results in such a short period of time. Clearly ahead of all its competition by leaps and bounds, this COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE ON HOW TO GRO MARIJUANA is leading the way in terms of delivering on demand, instead of promising results in some far and distant future. All my friends have also bought it, and we are thrilled at what it has done for us. |

"Never expected it to work this good!" Well, I must admit I didn't buy the COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO HYDROPONIC BIG BUD MARIJUANA CULTIVATION thinking that it would work for me, but boy was I wrong. After spending so much money on so many products that never worked at all, I bought this one on a whim alone, was very half hearted when I started using it. Imagine how surprised I was when the results started to show! |

Damn good book! It is very informative and well laid out. I would like to meet the writer of the book to talk to her. It taught me a great deal about growing. The best money I spent in a very long time. Jeff M. |

I got the book, the info on regeneration is especially good. There was some stuff in there that even I did not know really well. If you are new to growing or even if you are a bit long in the tooth and stuck in your ways like me, you can never have enough information on this subject thanks. |
