Re: New City Grower

Where's our 3rd judge (AG) LOL

I introduced myself at 6:02. It would have been sent out at 6 sharp, but I read your comment and had to edit in a comment of my own

The Reps Are Right

I am happy to announce that I will be stand-in judge this week on the show. As you all know, it has been, and will be hosted by our very own Broke Ass Reg and Dresney.

I will try to be fair and considerate towards all opinions and responses, as this is a game of learnin' & reps

Let the curtain fall, and have the games begin. Have fun everyone.

EDIT: Am I supposed to be the 'guest judge who specializes in hydro'?

Question 1

A plant has been in flower for about 4-5 weeks with lights on from 7am-7pm. The grower's schedule has changed and now needs the light to be on from 1pm to 1am. Is there a method of changing the schedule that won't induce hermies? What would you suggest?

A longer dark period

Re: New City Grower

It would take a few days but you could do it. By doing a half an hour in the morning and evening

Re: New City Grower

I would go with a prolonged period of dark before switching

I have always just extended the dark time so the first day instead of 7 am they would not come on untill 1 and have never had one hermie

Judges, what do you think?

Re: New City Grower

I feel that Bill's answer is viable. Incremental changes are the best way to induce change with little stress

To change the time of day when the light is on and off the dark period should be

extended.

Re: New City Grower

But going back, jimmy6000 had it first

Re: New City Grower

OZ and Mob's approach to the situation is also a method that I have researched to work with success as well. But as always I strive for the least amount of stress when sudden changes, like time schedule, are involved. Unless your 'Fluxin' of course

Re: New City Grower

Question 2

Why is it advised to not use organic nutrients with certain mediums/grow styles? What the mediums and grow styles organics should not be used with (if any)?

Re: New City Grower

Question One: I'm not 100% on this but if you were to switch them to the gas lantern cycle with the one hour of interrupted sleep that you could put in the middle of your change over period. The plants would adjust would they not? I mean it's a plant give it light it grows. As far as it preventing hermies I figure as long as you make the change and keep it that way it shouldn't do any harm. I could be wrong but I'd try it.

Question Two: I have no idea I'm gunna smoke this one out.
