Looking good VG :) Looking good for flower time!



This is a thing? Seems to me it would just introduce the possibility of light stress - but I’m a bit of a purist ;)

On the washy light and pics n stuff. If you can force you flash to go off hen you take pics, it can help to get more of the natural colours. Works for me under 3500k

Howdy Amy.

This is an excerpt from RQS blog.

FLOWERING: 12-12, THE INDOOR GROWER SOP
12-12, the even split of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness, only occurs naturally close to the equator. Indoor growers rely on timers to artificially dial in this light-dark cycle. During the day or lights-on period, two receptors, phytochrome red and phytochrome far-red, are in balance. In darkness, the far-red change into red. It’s the increase in red that triggers flowering. Many growers leave plants in complete darkness for 36 hours before commencing 12-12 to ensure a high phytochrome red ratio.

However, even if you grow a photoperiod strain from seed with a 12-12 schedule, it will take 3–4 weeks before buds begin to develop. Photoperiod cannabis is an annual plant. Marijuana can survive with as few as 8 hours per day, and flowering photoperiod plants can even be re-vegged. The switch can really be flipped back to vegetative growth with the resumption of longer days.

I've seen this on a few seed shop blogs and various other postings. Seems interesting. I've seen a few growers here use it to flower stubborn strains.

It happens everywhere twice a year! And the gradual shortening of days is what makes plants take 3-4 weeks for buds to start developing. Flipping a plant to 12/12 takes the plant from solstice to equinox in 24 hours! That should send any plant into flower. Archiweedies sent one of his into flower going from 18/6 to 16/8 last winter.

So, in summary, don't fret your head about not doing 48 hours of darkness! I hope you got some of otter's wind :).
 
:thumb: I’d heard of it I think. I wonder if the long dark actually does that... f someone has actually tested it. In any case, I don’t see anyone having problems from not doing it.

Kind of seperately, they say this...

Without adding that this is because the plants need to be sexually mature before they will flower... a useful piece of information in the context I’d have thunk...

Hopefully they won't take 21+ days to show pistils like my Blue Shark did. That's my main concern.

It would be kinda cool to see if there was a noticeable difference.
Some things you really can't control though.
 
Holy smokes am I caffeined up! I'm hummingbird x 10!!!

Girls are growing fast. Won't be long before you won't be able to see Mr.Froggy anymore.

So far the forbidden promix is working nicely once you get the hang of watering the stuff. I think I have it now. I'm hoping it will work through flower without having to add more lime.

This mix is so convenient and cost effective. I'm really hoping this pans out well and I can continue to use it.
If it does ,I may have found my medium.
I feel that the MC is working much better once pulverized. I hope they offer it as an option in the future as it is messy to do that step yourself. Keeping it in a jar helps a lot with keeping down the dust.

Thanks for the tips @MrSauga and @InTheShed . They have been very helpful, indeed.

I'm a modern pagan with a Roman Catholic upbringing. Sometimes a bit of latent Catholicism comes through.
My family observes and I make them happy by catering to them.

No one throws me a party on Samhain. Fooey. I'm underappreciated , and there is no doubt about it.
