It takes less than 2-weeks for a cutting in water to show sex. IME.
I am fully against re-vegging. I'm also against 36-hr. darkness.
Please let me explain before a full front assault.
The entire purpose of ID growing is to "replicate" the OD envirnoment.
Now with ID growing things happen much faster than OD.(Hydro even faster) but I do beleive that certain "traits" such as flavor and aroma are lost if the process is sped up too fast. Most articles I've read is that to truly see the potential of a plant it must have the full spectrum of the sun and a full growing season with a perfectly organically amended soil.
but I will agree using a cutting from the orignal donor IS much easier to control than the seed donor.
but as far as Re-vegging and "extended" darkness this is "unatural" and to me Mother nature worked a long time to get things the way they are. Every time man-kind tries to monkey with it the end-product is not as good as what ole mother nature woulda produced. but this is "my humble opinion". To me stressing the plant less is better and too much darkness or re-vegging=stress
Last opinon then I'm out. It takes patience to "establish" a donor. takes a lot of seed starts and an extra month outa growing time. but it is worth it IMO. unless a novelty grower. Establish a healthy donor is worth several harvests oppossed to one in a hurry. buy the schwagg and bear through it till its time. It will be worth it in the end. IMHO.
So no more buggerin please. that just doesn't sound "comfortable".
