My 8hr flowering experiment

[skunkwreck]

Hell yeah...if you do let me know , she has become a favorite to me . I can't wait to try the smoke ,she's the only one I have left and I killed the male lol . I thought about revegging her and keeping her as a mother plant .

Will do
I have to now so just wait it out lol
F2 parent selecting should happen by New Years.
If smell is any indication of taste it should be pretty good.
I should have a bunch from my buddies garden by next week.
It's been curing for a week. I will post some space phantom nugs when I get some.

Day 36 today and I don't think they will go past 60.
I won't chop em earlier but I think they will be done.
Here's a nug shot of space phantom. This went 57 days under 8/16

No way these are going 60 days.
Will give em 50-55 and reassess but I doubt they go that long.
These were vegged 3-4weeks using 12:1 and then flowered under 8/16.
So to anyone saying 12:1, glr, or shortened flower cycles don't work...
Your wrong

As I understood it over the years MH's finish about a week or two faster then one under a HPS . I can't prove it personally as I have never finished under an MH but that's what I've read .I'm pulling a couple of mine at day 56 , by the looks of it , its hitting dead on day 56 !

Your buds look to be the size of mine right now by those pics .

Gas lantern timing caused my veg girls to basically stop growing. They didn't flip, but they weren't getting bigger. It may be that I didn't give them enough time to get used to the new schedule.

We're doing an internet side by side grow...he's using glr and a MH...I'm using 18/6 veg and 12/12 flowering under a HPS .

Ok so im not sure if anyone else had attempted to actually try this new lighting schedule or if anyone read the article.
Anyhow in skunks feb/march issue there was an article on alternative lighting schedules and i was very curious if their is any validity to it and figure the best way to find out is to try it myself.

Basically the article says that a flowering or fruiting plant only needs a 6 hr light schedule so 6/18 is supposed to give you tighter bigger fatter buds in less flowering time than 12:12

Very interesting! Thanks for putting that out there.

There's an interesting discussion going on in the 315W LEC lamp thread about photomorphic responses when changing spectra from veg to bloom.

In other words, it's not just the light in your bloomroom that affects the stretch, it's also the light in veg and how different it is.
