$toney Montana's Dutch Passion BLUEBERRY grow

are u gunna do the 2 days of darkness befor harvest??? and i would say throw in a extra day juss for the lil extra in ur plant


I have read about doing this before, but your plants uptake the majority of there nutes and water while the chloyphyl is most active (when the lights are on) so I am not sure what the benefit of no lights for 2 or 3 days will do ?? If you have any info on it I would like to hear it ??
 
when the nights get longer it means that the winter is coming so the marijuana plant produces more resin to try to protect herself from the cold and she makes her buds swel waiting for the pollen to come in and those 2 days will give u a definate increase in trichomes meaning higher potentcy and more buds and i cant really explain it but during the night is when the resin makin and transportaion of everything happens i havent really looked into but some people do 3 days and i thinks thats to much 2 days is perfect

Shit I will try it !! this grow I will give the two days of darkness before the chop and my next I will take down immediately . It should give us a little insight on the topic as they are gonna be the same plants and the only diff. will be that I know more about this strain now then I did on this grow ,so it may be a little off ??

You are a lot better off using 24 hours of darkness, using 55-60 degree temps, and turning on a black light for ten to fifteen minutes every four hours or so. You are right about nute uptake during Lights on! And how much nutes are really available after a two week flush? The UV from the black lights will make the plant do the same thing, but by converting stored sugars to do it, instead of taking up nutes fresh. Doing this will also help ensure that you don't lose a bunch of THC and CBD's during the first couple days of drying. Make sure you water the day before you turn the light off, so it isn't too humid, and doesn't get moldy. My cousin turned his lights off right after her waterred, and came back two days later to a room full of bud rot. He got a total of 2 ounces of good smokable bud off of 20 plants, :(. His power went out too though, so his fans were off.
 
I have never heard of using a blacklight but I got a couple of them from back when I used alot of lsd and rolls !! haha never knew they would come into play for growing some years later! haha My humidity gets high when my lights are off too ,sometimes even into the upper 60's but it goes right back down all day so should be ok ??

are your fans on timers too? how is the exhaust when the lights go out? Don't put the black light close to the plant, mount it to the ceiling of something, it doesn't take much, and if you leave it on for longer than like half an hour, you could burn the plant. The sticky THC trich's do a lot for the plant.... keeps them warm, keeps them cool, helps collect the pollen of the male, and helps filter light. UV rays are not particularly good for pot plants, bit towards the end of flowering it can do something interesting, in stimulating the resins that protect the plant, and those same resins get me stoned, so :)... and the plant is going to be chopped in like a week or two anyways right?? so no big deal.
 
stoney, why not try half immediate cut and half a period of darkness for this grow? you have enough plants to try it out and you probably will be able to compare the potency more easily if it is all done with harvest instead of waiting for the next harvest to compare. just my 2 cents..

I agree, I will definately try to use the blacklight for a half an hour, what did you say every four hrs. ? and no my fan is always on and I have no real ventilation except for an a/c unit that I run the fan on if it is to cool for a/c .

your picture saddens me very much there.... hands over a WWxMango nugget as big as a toothpaste bottle, here, smoke this instead, :)....
 
I think we are all thinking of different things. The green light is not effect the plant in any way. it is used for people to go in their room while the plants are sleeping but still provides light for the grower.

green isn't absorbed by the plant because its already green. that means it absorbs all other colors except green thus green is the color we see.

He told me to use the blacklight in the last stages of budding ,last days? To increase crystal production and then changed it to green lights and that is why I am confused because green light is not absorbed by plants ???
 
Just a few to keep ya going !! Day 27
