Only joking, lol.gif, but wanted your attention. hehe. rofl.gif

Just ordered some of the sensi fem NL#5/Haze seeds. I have allways wanted to grow the original of this cross, and am mega-excited at finally getting the chance. I grew cheap positronics ones years back and they were very good, so i am expecting big things from these ones.

Problem i have is this. It says on the sensi write up for this strain, that cuttings/seedlings can be flowered right away after rooting/germination and still reach 1-1.5 metres in height.

It's not that that is too tall for me, but i most certainly want to take cuttings from the plants to look for a mother, but am not sure how i am going to do this.

Here are the two ways i can think of, neother of which i am very fond of.

1) Veg the plants until large enough for cuttings, take them, root them, and flower the cuttings and bin the seedplants. Seems such a waste of the seedplant though, and time.

2) Flower the seedlings soon after germination, and take cuttings off them once they are large enough, but in flower. I don't like this way, as i don't take cuts from flowering plants, and am not sure if they will root, or if it will upset the flowering plant at all.

With the last NL/Haze i grew, the plants about tripled, bit more on some phenos. I can handle a plant up to 3.5feet tall, 4 feet would be absolute max. So i was thinking i could veg them to about 8-10 inches, grab the cuttings and flower and end up with plants around the 3-4 foot mark.

But with sensi saying newly germinated seedlings and rooted cuttings can reach 1-1.5 metres tall, i am not so sure, and dont want to be caught with my pants down, so to speak, lol.gif.

I am sure lots of the great growers and breeders here have grown this classic, and have some info on the strecth, and anything else about it, like expected flowering times, aroma etc, but mainly the stretch?

I've searched for info here and at other places, but can find buggar all on the stretch side of things, or even much detailed info about it. Please help! This is a big strain for me, been waiting to grow this for a long time and dont' want to feck it all up.

Peace and respect to all. Solid.

I often take cuttings when the plant has shown its gender. I guess these will be plenty big enough for this at this stage. Even quite far into flowering i have taken cuttings will good results.

E2A the cuttings I remove are usually the bottom branches. Often ppl remove these anyhow as the buds down here end up quite small (depending on your growing technique) but they root really well. Try tying the lead shoot down or lst-ing to control its height if it looks to get rangey.

perfect opportunity for a scrog, once you're sure its fem, might help with keeping the height down.

It's not the exact same strain. It's a phenotype of sensi nl#5/haze crossed with the ch9 jack33 he uses on alot of his stuff. I never had anything but 100% germ from ch9, and i ordered the nl#5/haze x jack33 at the sametime as the sensi nl#5/haze. Also ordered the ch9 aroma, power plant and humboldt, as i've been very impressed with his gear so far.

Smoketillyouchoke - What's up dude, safe man, see ya around the various places, respect.
