I'll be checking it out, Chef.
im subbed me cant wait to see what these 1200 's can do !
I didnt realize you were running GLR. Have you always used that method?
I must have missed that somewhere. I mean you are my idol and all. From the goats to the chickens the grass fed milk and butter. Oh and the wicked good cannabis you grow. Now I know glr might just work for me too.
Thank you massa
You do have to play with that middle hour a bit adding 15-30 minutes depending on the strain. If you see them tryin to flower add 15-30 minutes...
Yep it makes sense I noticed the Sd#2 doesn't like 1 hour of glr she tries to flower. I started with 15 minutes, didn't cut the mustard, so I added another 15 and she stopped bitching...lolHey Curso. If you increase the hour to 90 minutes, you're not getting 5.5 hours of dark any longer, right?
I've read that the 5.5 hours dark is the minimum to let the plants 'rest' at night. I've not done any testing, but it sorta makes sense that there might be other photoperiod thresholds that matter (ie 12 hours dark for flower).
The goal with GLR is to break up the continuous 12 hours of dark. It takes 12 dark hours for the flowering hormones to build up enough in the plant. These hormones are photosensitive and will decay when exposed to light. So the dark period interruption in GLR is decays enough of the hormones to halt flowering.
My point is.... your hitting on something with increasing the duration. Some strains will probably need longer to decay the flowering hormones, or the strain needs a lower threshold to start flowering. These strains might flower with only a 10 hours dark period.
I like to keep the 6 hours of dark too though, so if I increased the GLR, I would make sure not to 're-center' it. I would have the dark interruption period start at least 6 hours after the lights went out.
Does any of this make sense? LOL
