And That 2 hrs. difference is making them bloom. Now I know to stay at 18/6. I've been running veg lights 24 hrs. a day. I'm probably wasting elec. though, as I've had success at 18/6 before. I'm in the process of ordering Docs kit, and all my clones are now back in COM Stonington blend soil. And I got 42 gal of 1st. run cooking. I'm not going to use the amendments, just the rest of the kit, till I find out if it will work with anything except promix hp. I couldn't just toss 40 gal of one time use soil . i'll see what happens. Did you mix your container, during the cooking process. my containers don't seem to be getting warm on sides, like I expected ?? By the way, that's a big improvement on your pics. So just about caught up on your journal, and then I'll go back to doc buds , where I'll never catch up !! And I'm still fighting the low RH !! i can see a big improvement in your grow since switching to the kit . Good luck !!
Quite true, but what about the change from 18/6 to 16/8? Outdoor plants gradually go into flower as they sense the hours of daylight lessening (mine started about 3 weeks after the solstice). Couldn't a sudden two hour change do the same thing?
I stored seed in my frig, in little zip lock bag, inside a plastic medicine bottle, for 3 years, and my personal belief is, that they could stay there for 5 or more yrs.. And who knows at what point seeds become useless ? But your dresser probably is just as good, Duggan.
No one knows, but If I had to guess, I'd guess it could start the blooming process and once that happens, if you continue growing it in veg. mode, then it'll take about two weeks or more to revert back . Best move is to put that plant into 12/12 now
Well you never told me ? And if you say that works, I'll switch immediately. I have long faith in your abilities !!
I know guys I’m kicking myself I guess. Live and learn yea? I was trying to bend the branch so that at 90 degrees it would be flat to the canopy.Extreme supercropping! We'll name a new technique after you. Give them some support and see what happens. The tops should turn up and anything growing along the flat stems and below should start to grow. Certainly not the way Duggs or I would have done it, but anything for science!

Yeah guys I’m good to go on 16/8 especially with a 1000wHPS in there and all the shit it takes to maintain my environment. Which is another reason why I should avoid bone head moves like The Archiweedies SuperChop. I digress.Yes it could start bloom , but would most likely not continue , as 16 hrs. of daylight is far too much for a specific chemical to build up to sustainable levels,..that s how it works. Once that chemical(can't think of its name right now) builds up to a critical level...bloom is triggered . I was very surprised when i found out some pistils were happening. I'm still learning too......lots.....cheers.
Hey Gray! Not sure if that question was meant for me or Shed. My plants are mature if by mature you mean alternating nodes and showing preflowers. Thanks for always checking things out here. I know you kinda lurk but it’s nice always having you here. Means a lot
Thanks SP I thought the refrigerator had been deemed safe. Good to get validation on that.
I thought about asking Duggs if we should flip. Then, I looked at my calendar( also a Duggan mandate
) and turns out I had changed the photoperiod two weeks almost to the day of when I noticed the plant was flowering. I’m certainly no authority, but it usually takes two weeks for flowers to show up after flowering is induced right? Sometimes a week more?
Thanks DJ! I got in there this morning and made some stakes from some shop scraps I had laying around. THey are all supported properly, just need some time and a little Destress
