I've been observing these late flower clones and have noticed some differences in them.
These were harvested for clones at 8+ weeks into flower. The Durban Poison below took near two months to root and show growth. The growth it produces is heavy. Large branches like a fully mature plant in 8 weeks veg. The bud I regenerated was as solid a bud as ya can get. Very dense. So dense I thought the regeneration would fail. Anyways, it makes me scratch my head.

However on the other side the Tangie does not show the same thickness of branches the DP does. Smaller more spindly branching which will eventually turn into large stems but slower than the DP. The Tangie clone was a lower growth clone...larf bud. Not as developed as the DP. Probably why I'm seeing the smaller growth. What ya think?

The bud below hasn't begun to unfold into the plant yet. A lot more growth is coming. View attachment 360025
I've used silica outdoors and in a dwc setup it did its job. Adding it to my Jack's regime...I dunno bout that..lolDo you add any Silica? It will do many things, and one is strengthening the inner cell walls of the stems to help harden them. Increase your fans, get them fluttering and swaying....
I had an AK47 that I never kept a real mom on, just kept taking cuttings off the bottom and making the cutting the new mom donor for next run.... it eventually did this same thing, weakened the stems to the point when the buds got larger the stems were unable to support them... and when I started to SCROG.
Buddy recommended Silica and after reading up on it and it's advantages, use it religiously...

Only issue I have with silica is it can mess with ph. It can also throw off your npk if ya don't get it right. What I'm doing right now seems to be working. So I can't take the chance of adding new stuff.
I currently have damn near a whole gallon of the stuff. I was looking at it the other day just sitting there taking up space.
I may start using it as a foliar. I don't want to use it in my mix. But now that you bring it up I may have to single out a plant and give it a try. I'm open to it. May or may not help.
But then I ask myself. Your plants are fine, green, healthy, and growing like mad. Why add stuff if it's not needed. That answer is always...keep an open mind.
Thanks for sharing that Carty. It's great how we all try to help one another with little things we sometimes don't realize or see. Ya do a good job keeping folks current.
Was that in a peat medium? Good info to know.I tried silica once, and it made my pH go way up.
I have also been leery of using it with Jacks.
I might try it on my problem girls outside. I have a couple that are needing some help. I also had to move My plants out from the pool wall it was cooking the buds that were near it. Makes sense since it is concrete and with the temps in upper 90s. I can see it having an adverse effect. I wouldn’t want to stand next to a hot concrete wall for over 10 hours a day. The Last 4-5 hours it is in shade but by then the damage is done. Good I saw it in time to keep the others from the same danger.I tried silica once, and it made my pH go way up.

Yes I would like to know since I am currently using mostly peat. There are a few I used random bs. Those are the ones struggling too.Was that in a peat medium? Good info to know.
I dunno. I've never done it before till now. I think it just set me back a week or more. The 5 girls are just now starting actually flower.They’re looking great mate, I’ve heard about flowering under 14/10 do you think it helps or hinders.
I just got some tangie beansTangie...this is getting interesting. Pulled all growth outwards again tonight. The plant is maybe a total of 6-7" high. I see a square outlined by bud with smaller growth filling the interior of the screen by the end. Gonna be interesting.
