Hoping for continued good news...Speaking of good news, our sick fur baby finally ate a meal. Just have to make sure she’s holding it down okay.
I feel like extended dark is more what the plants are expecting as "winter" approaches. Wouldn't any increase in light times tell the plants that it's spring and the days are getting longer?So to me it seems more natural to extend the daylight part, when they’re not noticeably changing.
Thank you for the answers, I went back and looked at the upcanned pictures, that was quite a journey with the mom and cuts, and yes my first grow and cuts, my plants are flowering now and my cuts are in 1.5 gallon pots seeking the sun!Is this your first grow CK?
Yes, but my point is; I think based on how the plants react in the dark vs the light that they get their timing info based on how long the dark period is, not based on how long the light period is. So changing the length of daylight shouldn’t effect it as much as changing the dark period in my personal opinion.I feel like extended dark is more what the plants are expecting as "winter" approaches. Wouldn't any increase in light times tell the plants that it's spring and the days are getting longer?
After AW's and others' experience, I think a general rule for plants started inside that are going outside is to run them from sprout at the light timing of the day you plan to set them outside. In SoCal 14/10 would be a safe bet from seed or clone.
Yes the weather was beautiful here yesterday though the sun didn’t reveal itself completely until about 9:30amNice outs
I am happy to report that she appears to be well on the road to recovery. Thanks Shed!Hoping for continued good news...
I want a T-shirt that says that lol!Big roots big fruits!
I’ll be interested to hear how you like working with clones. I am somewhat undecided about how I like them.Thank you for the answers, I went back and looked at the upcanned pictures, that was quite a journey with the mom and cuts, and yes my first grow and cuts, my plants are flowering now and my cuts are in 1.5 gallon pots seeking the sun!
Thanks Gray, that’s exactly what I’m doing. Yesterday I moved the “lights on time” to 11:30am versus 9:00am. Today lights are coming on at 1:30 pm and I’ll keep moving it up two hours or so until I get to 9pm.move the wake time forward, however you do it. Go from 8 to 10 to 12 to 2, etc.
Sounds like you and I have both learned a few things already this outdoor season.Back a few pages but I'm caught up.
I'm with you on the next big outdoor season. My current plan is to finish all but one plant I have right now. I'm going to keep my candida through the summer and she'll prolly be my first occupant of the flower tent when I open it again in Oct or Nov. In the shorter term I'll be popping two Autos in August that will stay in the Auto Tent.
Rolling into next season I'll likely have 3 or 4 nice Sativas (or just one & 3-4 copies) picked for outdoor expansion. I'll need the schedule to be at least 13 on right before I move them outside right? Anyways having a few plants at 18"s - 2 feet tall will be perfect I think.
Also, since y'all were talkin bout water quality... I know here in the Springs area we get most of our water from underground springs, hence the many city names with Springs and Wells for a surname... Any ways, I know the water is treated but I'm not sure bout chlorine and such, my outdoor plants (all kinds) have no issues with the water. My yard h2o is straight off the city pipes, into the valves and out the sprinklers. Grass grows good (both kinds...) and all plants too.
This....run them from sprout
After my experiences with photo periods and outdoor growing cycles, I would suggest that if you have the option to start from seed at 14/10 on a schedule that closely resembles the actual sunrise and sunset you’ll be good to go.Bout mid March for Seed drop then or taking clones?
Maybe a little sooner for the clones?
Fascinating! I feel like I need a camera in my gate the now haha!After my whole long winded (typed?) explanation about how my plants react to the lighting changes, I went back and watched a months worth of video in high speed and discovered that I was wrong. They do anticipate when the lights turn on but they do also anticipate when the lights turn off just not quite as dramatically.
About a half to an hour before lights off the leaves start to slowly droop, and then when it goes dark they droop a lot faster for two hours, then slowly begin to perk back up for a couple hours, then about two hours before lights on they start praying hard again.
Very interestingly (probably only to me) as one tent progressed further through flowering they stopped showing this light anticipation behavior. Now, I’m going to have a complex and be watching it super closely everyday for absolutely no reason.
Oh, that’d be this guy! I’ve learned to look for very subtle cues that they are getting thirsty in veg. Bottom leaves droop first,etc.Wonder how many people have adjusted watering schedules thinking the drooping was caused by watering mistakes.
Some strains droop hard before lights off, some plants like @Amy Gardner ’s Candida drooped in the presence of too intense sunlight.I noticed the leaves drooping before lights out, I think it was the Berry Bomb. Couple few nights ago, I've read what you said about the leaves anticipating the changes.
