Its inevitability some twat who's been caught for something and has decided he'll grass to save his ass. Or a hater like mg said. Its very hard for authorities to get on top of this in my opinion. I am sure they know that they are just scraping away at it. Wasting tax payers money when they should be out catching sick pedos, or farming instead of being 5-0 ffs.

Errr yeah it does?

No, it does not.

I doubt that you allow your plants to fully ripen. Most growers don't. Time for the resin to ripen is genetic, and cannot be changed by hours of light, environmental stress, snake oil supplements or anything else.

Rob Clarke wrote his book over 30 years ago.

This is from Marijuana Botany, by Dr. Robert C. Clarke:

"Research has shown (Valle et al. 1978 ) that twice as much THC is produced under a 12-hour photoperiod than under a 10-hour photoperiod."

Wow, so giving 10 hours of light results in half as much THC produced!

So for the past 10 years, I've been giving my flowering plants 13 hours of light, and 11 hours of darkness. When growing indoors, I want my plants to have as many hours of light that they can take without reverting.

Is that your wife in your avatar?
Shortening flowering to 11/13 from flip enhances latent phenotype expressions such as colours and aromas and also shortens flowering times, i and many others have witnessed this many times. It's well documented by many of the most respected breeders in the industry. Maybe you need to read a book that is more up to date, and also work on your social skills. And yes I do allow my flowers to ripen. Otherwise what is the point.

I gave you a source to back up what I said. Since your idea is "well documented," you should have no trouble proving what you have witnessed many times by providing several sources. Otherwise, it's just bullshit, and that's what I said it is.

Like you say, for the last 10 years you've been growing on 13/11, one rigid unchanged light regime. Good for you. For the last 18 years I've tried every different light cycle I have wanted to experiment with. I've seen the results and I couldn't care less that you call bullshit. I've never even heard of you before today, I asked around and every one told me your just the king of the trolls on this place so you keep running your light cycle, I'll run mine. It's all good.

Also the article YOU posted only talks about thc content and doesn't mention anything about reaching maturity faster. It proves nothing in terms of the point you are trying to force upon me as fact.

Complete bullshit! You actually think that giving fewer hours of light makes the plant ripen sooner?

That's utterly ridiculous. Once you learn how to grow good bud, you may be amazed.

thats a lovely exo grow yman!
Cheers mate.

It's not spot on, I've had a couple of issues to deal with and I would have liked to finish them off a bit better but all things considered it's good enough.

Should be a pretty tidy yield, looking at between 2.5-3oz per pop I reckon.
I was aiming for a guaranteed 2oz per and 3oz per would have been amazing, I reckon there's over 2 per easy, about 2.5 solid.

We'll see yet when it's done.
