What strain will produce the best yield in S.O.G?

[kgb9113]

Just wondering what strain to buy for a S.O.G grow. I want to buy female seeds so that i won't have to mess with weeding out males. I also would like to know what seed company you would recommend for female seeds. If you have any advice i would greatly appreciate it.

Hey there kgb9113, welcome to homegrown!

I'd recommend skunk #1 by nirvana. They're very affordable & produce great sized buds that hardly need manicuring at all. But they don't have feminized seeds. However, In my personal experience a SOG grow is very difficult when starting with seedlings - mainly because the plants when at the desired height are still immature.

What I would do, is to do a normal grow. Weed out the males.
Take cuttings from the females and veg into a mother plant. When your current grow is done then start flowering the clones shortly after they root (usually 2 weeks).

Why does being young interfere with budding? the only thing I know of is that it takes a few extra days for their sex to show if you start 12/12 when the plants are less than 2 weeks old.

whatever you do, do not buy femmed seeds from B.C.BudDepot

and when you shop, the heavy yielders are the ones who give 400+ grams to the square yard/meter.

i been reading very good things about a new strain called big stone upto 600 grams per meter which is sapose to be around the same yeild as big bud but better quality and a very easy plant to grow as it can take lots of abuse and still yeild big good smoke only place i've seen them listed is plant skunk

[kgb9113]

Thanks for the info RedEyezzzzz. I will check into the Skunk #1. Forum's are a new thing to me and it is already helping me out. Thanks again for the replies to my question!

i forgot to put this in the last post
Celtic Stone 60.00 EURO 30.00 EURO




Celtic Stone gets it's foundation from a proven powerhouse, Sagarmathas Stonehedge, and Dixie Crystal, a pleaser by Juan Moore Seeds. This is a remarkable strain, mostyly Indica, with a very slow to start, but fastly creeping until you feel like.. a...... stone? A hearty plant to grow, with very high Fem to Male ratio, that takes abuse, and produces solid, resinous buds. CS also has minimal stretching, so great for indoor grows. Many people have remarked on this strains medicinal value for anxiety and pains. The term NO WORRIES comes to mind often, as you stare into space.

Give the CS a try, and begin your venture down the minds eye, doing the Druid Shuffle.

waht kind of weird seed company won't let you onto their published website? not only does celticstone want me to have firefox.. they don't want me there at all?

well, planet skunk has one pic of each (celtic stone and big stone) and by the looks of it, if you want that 400-600grams then you better have those plants reallyreallyreallyreallyclose.

[ice#1]

yeah i had the same problem but in my opion planet skunk is better then the celtic stone i watched cetlic stone grow from start to almost finished thred starter is james25 it's listed big stone/venomberry the vb is anouther new strain i'll post some pics when my celtic stone seeds get in and i start growing them

[StoninStanley]

heard hashberry from mandala seeds is good for SOG, and its cheap too

Will Celtic Stone clone? Will Big Stone clone?

The reason you can't start flowering a plant from seed so early is because it needs to mature at least until you get one set of alternating nodes. Clones of a mature plant are as mature as the donor so they can be put into flower as soon as they root.

Sorry bro, but that is an old wives tale...MJ will veg until it is mature, regardless of light cycles.

Don't believe me? Try it.

[StoninStanley]

elephunt man is right, even if you make the photoperiod 12/12 when it is a seed it will just grow slower until it gets alt. nodes and then it would flower.

so if you put it on 12/12 right away you would actually be retarding your grow

if you are going to take the time to have a SOG then just take the time to set it up (plant seeds and find mommys) and you will be rewarded with lots and lots of killer HGB all the time :D

i just had a seedling that flowered as the seed fell into a clones pot at 6 weeks from putting the clone in i had a 2 noded baby male took forever for it to show sex but it did not have alternateing nodes and was only a few inches tall. not sure to how it clones as the guy who's growing it never cloned before so when he tried to clone they looked fine for a few weeks but then he drowned them and almost any strain will clone as long as it is not auto-flowering strain but evan auto-flowering strains can be cloned it just makes them yeild less as the auto's only have a short time to veg before they flower

Many people are using non-AF strains to get great bud in 60 days. if you raise a 'regualr' seed from day one on 12/12 lights, then it will show hairs and alternating nodes at 2 weeks. and it can be all done budding at the age of 60 days. some people wait a week or two before changing the lights to 12/12, it depends on the strain. and you can get big fat buds. like 2oz a plant.

i was always under the impression that a baby plant wont bud because of my very first grow when i was 15.

i lived at my parents house and tried to put 6 plants in folders cans. i kept the light cycle 12/12 because i had to try and keep it hid, so i just kept the lights (floros) on at night, off at day. i actually managed to keep them growing for 2 months, but they were very slow growing (i didnt think so then but once i grew bud the right way i realized that those plants had EXTREMELY retarded growth) they only got 7 nodes in 2 months, and only a few preflowers showed. oddly, they all were female.....

maybe my experience was unique and now that i sit and think about it, i could have grown those plants in a lot better condition. i had no outside airflow, did not train the plants (lst is a must with a floro grow most of the time), and did not have proper drainage, but did have good soil.

im definately going to have to give this a try again. i'm gettin some affie #1 from the seedsman soon and i think that will be my guinea pig :D


would it be as potent though? that would be my only concern

getting dank weed should be no problem. 12/12 from seed is getting more popular and they are starting to compile a database of strains that do it the best .. Search ICMAG for these results.
