GiGaBaNE's 3rd & Final Journal - At Least Until I Change Country

[Heirloom]

Loving all the improv!

lmao i happened. i stole all its leaves to smoke in desperation. i did not however harm its grow tip or any bud nodes, it will recover =)
it looks worse than it it...i shaved all its hair off, but i gave it a bigger house to live in (its pot is 20x the size of its previous at least)

look at all the nodes for its size!!

 

[geturgrowon]

ahaha did u get high?? at leastQ!

 

[GigaGrew]

actually, when i had an abundance of leaves it definatly had an effect. didnt feel the same as smoking bud, but i guess its a bit like a single malt guy having to glug cider. isnt nearly as nice but definatly does a job if not the job, lol...when short on leaves it doesnt get you stoned at all, but it does drive away that nagging hunger that can drop your standards. ive spent hours scanning my carpet with a pair of tweezers before in the past, leaves help prevent this kind of stupidity.

besides its a myth that only the buds of a mature female contain thc, but they do contain massive amounts compared to all else, but you can get an effect off leaves and you can get stoned smoking male plants..

with my rough upbringing i have a sence of shame, but i dont have a sense of pride. (sometimes what matters is the destination, not the way to get there)

 

[GigaGrew]

oh one final thought before i pass out. for those that are getting into or have been into GLR...has a 12.5 or 13 hour light schedule been tried yet instead? im wondering if you give it just a tiny bit more light than it needs to flower, would it do the same job without interuptin their sleep?

there maybe an obvious reason why this wont work, but my brain is fading fast (nearly 5am) and it just seems to make sense, @ 12.5 hours of light surely the plant may think flower time is almost upon it anyway.

ahaha thats all what matter is that u got high

i guess im not elite enough for you >>>? lol

 

[fish cake]

Saweeet I'am a worm!
goin to check out some roots and poop on them!
I am truly honored!!

 

[GigaGrew]

i guess im not elite enough for you >>>? lol

lol im sure you are, i just dont know you well enough to watch my back yet and i only get 3 allies, lol

you need the hour in the middle of the dark period, even giving 13 hours of light followed by 12 hours of dark will still make the plants flower, even 13 hours of light and 12 dark would still make them flower, anything close to 12-12 will induce flowering, thee only way to use 12-12 and not have the plants flower is to give an hour of light during the 12 hour dark period,

you mean 13/11 not 13/12 right? as thats what i mean, lol

 

[donpaul.p]

when you have the light schedule close to 12-12, say any of the following, 11-13, 12-11 or which ever way round you want, these will still make the plants flower, in nature the plants very rarely get 12-12 and they still flower well out doors, so the longer light hours stops it from flower but it dont give the rapid growth as it does when starting to flower, but by using glr your tricking the plant into thinking its starting to flower so it then has rapid growth, but by giving it the hour in the middle of the dark time your stopping the flowering hormone from going any further and the plant wont go into flower.

how ever it will show sex sooner under glr, all my seedlings showed sex around 2 weeks, but thats as far as they went, they showed sex and did not start flowering till i took the hours light away during the dark period,

 

[GigaGrew]

interesting, mine are not showing sex yet, perhaps my timer is not accurate enough i know it loses time, but i try to keep it as up to date as possible.

 

[donpaul.p]

the one thing i want to find out is if you can play god with these plants and make days longer, in nature its a 24 hour clock, but we know these plants grow under 24-0 really well so clearly they are not set to this 24 hour clock else they would struggle and not grow under 24-0, so im wondering if a plant would flower under something like 14-14, or what if we gave the plants say 14 hours of light and 12 hours of dark, would this mean they have more time to grow but still have the 12 hours of dark to keep them in flower, so this would make it 14 on and 12 off, would this keep the plants in flower and increase yield

 

[GigaGrew]

im not sure... my understanding is less about the light and more about the dark period. i think of the dark period like a flowering battery, if it recieves the right amount of dark it fills the battery so to speak and initiates flowering, if you then mess with the dark so that it has less than this peak amount it really upsets the plant which is why hermie happens easier in flower...i suppose its the flower equivelant of human blue balls

I will run a bizzare experiment when i have enough spare plants. i will seed one and complete it just using 1 hour of light per day, then do another with 2 hours of light e.t.c

would be nice to do this with +1 hour per plant and find optimum veg growth and exact light neeed to not flower e.t.c

 

[GigaGrew]

i also want to try running our plants on the same clock as Mars...would be interesting to see what they would do if they hypothetically lived on that rock

Howdy DP or should I call you Master Don not to kick on your idea but that sounds like a pain in the ass to just keep trak of.
I mean every day you would have to change the photo period and I think for the most part they need a more consistant routine.
you know like biological clock.
your body gets into a routine. like a certain time maybe you wake up to go to work or the bathroom at night. or even when you get hungry around lunch time.
hope this isnt to obscure.

 

[GigaGrew]

i dont think he means keep changing it, but just imagin you live on a different planet with different length day and nights, but fairly constant in its difference vis a vi my mars thing.

Lots of co2 and you would probly grow some killer red bud
