Is there any serious stress risks with letting a few clones veg outdoor for a few months and the bringing them indoor to bloom? Its my understanding that veg light should be around half of bloom light, and if this is a super critical element, then it wouldn't work correct?
Say they were kept short and under shade cloth outside, getting some afternoon sun... then repotted and moved under say 300-400w of either LED or HID. Plausible? Ideally, save money on electricity and bulbs by doing the whole thing outdoor... though sadly not everyone has such a luxury.
----
Also... so ive been reading a little about using colloidal silver on a branch when in bloom to force the branch to become hermie and push out pollen sacks. If one were thinking of doing this to preserve their last clones of a good feminized strain... what are the pros and cons of doing such a technique? The offspring would be either female or hermie correct? Is this the standard process for seed banks preparing feminized seed?
Thx stoners

It is a shame theres not a more bumpin scene for canna growing around. I feel like there really use to be, many years back. I was on the cannabis culture forums and it was blowing up bigtime. Now its a ghost town in there 
New beginnings? Let's hope so

You all have any preferences on when you like to pick....
When they need a drink or when they are fully hydrated?
Whats your fav terpene profile ratio? (What amber count do you prefer?)
When i was coming up, it was suggested to pick when only a few ambers are seen. Nowadays it seems ppl go on a heavier ratio... like b/wn 10-40%

I don't have any experience but I've read a lot on it and can tell you the consensus of other forums.
I agree it seems like most people I see wait for 25% to around 50% Amber trichomes and that's the farthest I read people wait. Because if you wait for more than 40-50% Amber when u harvest, by the time everything's dries and cured many of the trichomes will have turned fully brown (degradation of THC).
I have two of each strain growing so I plan to harvest one plant of each strain at mostly cloudy, little Amber (more couch lock) and tbe other at around 40% Amber (more active). See if there's in fact a difference
Thank you for your reply. 25 amber sounds like a good zone For both indicas and sativas... and hey, i would love to hear about your results w that experiment if youre still feeling up for it, plz keep us posted

He is likely referring to its sedative, couchlock effect.

I use earth juice. The whole line, i do add a small amount of FF Grow for instant nitrogen as needed though.
You guys/gals like to do a straight water flush at the end or a solution w some mollases and say epsom salt? This obviously is for those more geared to organic farming, as the mollases wont do much for the plants by themselves. Then again i only grow soil, so maybe it does do something for hydro/soiless too, perhaps if microbes are still being utilized. i was under the impression it wouldnt though (feeds the soil microbes, not the plant)
Anyway... to rephrase the above... what is your finishing routine?

That stem purpling looks like it could be a calmag issue from here. It always seems to have some sort of chlorosis (leaf yellowing) accompanying it. Is the purpling on the top of the petioles (leaf stems) only, whereas the underneith is a lighter shade or even straight green? This can be a tell tale sign. Have a lot of your leaves dropped yellow and thats why its so bare? The chlorosis can come on quick w calmag issues. Overly intense lighting, like you said, can work those puppies ragged and zap all available nutrients into thin air. Did you switch it over to a new light recently and then the nutrient deficiencies started? I had a similar issue when i switchd to LED from CFLs. The chicken clawed leaves is another sign of too much light.
Honestly man, i would wait. I dont think its finished bouncing back. Def dont think its the right time to bloom. The plants can sometimes wait until they are ready to bloom, even if placed in a 12/12 setup... but regardless, rolling a little longer w the veg phase/lighing would likely be a wise move.

Two Harvest Questions Pretty Please 
How do you keep bud from over drying during the curing process? Humdity packs or a piece of lettuce in the cure jar? What is your preferred length of cure time from the minute you drop in the jars to when you rip off a hunk for chiefing?
Second question... just looking at a finishing plant whos been on nothing but a water or sweet diet for a 7-14 days... what are you looking for in the physical appearance of the plant that says 'this is it. Anything less would be dissapointing and anything more would be harmful.' Example would be, the sweet leaves starting to yellow. You consider this a good spot to chop, too long, or close but not yet?

It is ess just that. Just some nutrient solids or solution added to water and then poured into a spray bottle.

You guys ever content w grassy smelling yield once picked and dried? If so, how do you typically overcome it? Can a lengthy cure really restore that lovely aroma?
