Hey everyone, I've got a question for you. It's possible that five out of my eight plants are male. That leaves me with three females. Suppose that those three plants yielded a total of four ounces after another seven weeks of flowering; they've been flowering for almost a week now. Now, if I were to reveg those for another six weeks instead, two weeks to make the transition from flowering to veg again, and then another four weeks to actually grow, and then put them back into flowering for another eight weeks, it's possible I could get eight ounces out of those three plants instead of only four. All in all if I were to reveg those it would take a total 21 weeks in order to harvest eight ounces.
Now, I could simply let those three plants finish off as planned in about another seven weeks, and then start another grow immediately afterward with six female plants and grow for a total of four months, or 16 weeks, and get let's say, eight ounces. Add to the eight ounces the four ounces from the first three plants of the first harvest to get a total of twelve ounces in 30 weeks.
On the other hand, I could reveg those three plants and then go immediately into another grow with six female plants for 16 weeks, and get let's say, a total of 16 ounces between the tow grows in 37 weeks.
If I thought this out properly, 12 ounces in 30 weeks, or 16 ounces in 37 weeks works out to be about .4 ounces per week no matter what. So, either route I choose will give me about the same yield, right?
It seems to me that I've read somewhere that if you put a plant into flowering in order to determine sex, and the reveg before putting back into flowering, the buds will be smaller than if they hadn't been revegged in the first place. I don't think that's true, but I was just wondering.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
