Re: My First Grow Journal-Holy Grail Kush- Purple Kush 6x12 Scrog 4 x 600W LEDs On Mo
Looking great Jon. Just a quick comment on your method of counting "days of flowering". 90%+ of the time you discuss such matters with another grower, they'll be talking/thinking about the day you switched the lights to 12/12, not from when the transition period ended.
The reason for doing it that way is consistency. It gives everyone (growers, seed breeders, forum readers) a standardized method to describe a point in time. Nothing wrong with your method either, just that it makes it more of a "guesstimate" in that there is some judgement involved. Counting the days since the "flip" takes the guesswork out of it by making it a "non-negotiable" point in time and makes sure everyone's comparing "apples to apples" when they talk about how many days a plant has been flowering.
I suppose saying "x days from flip" would clear up all possible confusion...
You're in the homestretch now!
the first 7 to 10 days is transition then the count starts bro, at least thats how I do it

I see what your saying Graham but they call it transition for a reason its not in flower yet,If you count from the flip you have to add 7-10 days to the count for the transition. I guess i worded it wrong but no matter how you look at it the plants are not in "flower" as soon as you flip the lights.

No doubt what you're saying is true; it's just that most people take "number of days flowering" as meaning the date you switched the lights to a 12/12 cycle. In fairness, you can see how it might cause some folks to think their 40 day flowering plants are looking pretty bad in comparison to your beauties, when they are actually 10 days behind yours.
If everyone agrees to count the flowering period in the way you describe (for instance,10 days after the lights are flipped to 12/12), then I'd be all for it; but it's hard to convince everybody...

yep, everybody has they're own way of doing it but I think alot of growers do it the same way I do. If you dont you would be changing your nute schedule from early bloom ,late bloom, overdrive and whatever else a week or two early this would definetly affect the quality and yield imo.

The way I am understanding this discussion, the day that lights flip12/12 is first day flower? or when they start growing again (approx 7 days later)

Just because your plants aren't flowering, dosen't mean you're not flowering your plants.

Sorry to hear about the door jon,
I've broken so many toes before, I feel your pain buddy.

Yup, there are definitely some who do it your way; 23.91% according to a poll I saw.
I'm honestly surprised it's that many...In the end, it only ever matters when discussing with other growers; everybody has a method that works for them.

I guess its just up to personal prefference. It seems we arent the first to have this disscusion lol...
Flowering Times
I find if I do it the way I have been the manufacturers recomendations for flowering are usually pretty close.

Re: My First Grow Journal-Holy Grail Kush- Purple Kush 6x12 Scrog 4 x 600W LEDs On Mo
You're right on that one - your method helps to compensate for the unrealistic flowering times published by seed companies.
The only issues I have with your method are:
1. It's not consistent, and therefore isn't as useful a piece of info as it could be. Your idea of when flowering begins is likely to differ from someone else's for the same grow; and
2. It is a different method than what is currently accepted to be the "standard", and can therefore lead to confusion in discussions (you say your plants are at 40 days, when most people would consider them to have been flowered for 50 days).
Anyways, I know that between the cold, the door and your toe, you're probably growing tired of my pestering on this topic. I'll just sign off by saying you're definitely running one of the more interesting journals I've ever seen, and I want to wish you the best in the coming days and weeks ahead.

Re: My First Grow Journal-Holy Grail Kush- Purple Kush 6x12 Scrog 4 x 600W LEDs On Mo
There are so many variables, all can be manipulated, my last crop finished in 86 days, seed to weed. What I want to know is how they figure those kinda yields. I've never seen any purchased seed produce near what they say, and my plants grow to maturity and are healthy as hell. I grew with components that GUARANTEE the highest yield and potency that a plant can potentially produce. I know we say It's just hype, but what sucker would buy hype the second time? I may be a rookie, but this aint my first rodeo.

Hey jon just got email back from the LED company, they said they use Epistar I guess thats the diodes and they only can make them 90 or 120 degree angle. Is that good or no? The color and spectrum are all good though.

I start my count on flower when plants show sex. Mainly because strains will show at different times. Same strains will show at different times depending on seed or clone. Just my experience.
