[IntheCloset46]

man...i can only hope...i do have a question for ya though..do i stay on a 12/12 cycle all the way to the end..or do i have to cut it down right be4 harvest..any help would be great thx..

12/12 until the day you pick your fruit

12/12 until the day you pick your fruit

there is a practice done by some; i have tried it myself. thc is broken down by light, and is made during the dark cycle. it has been proven that a 72 hour dark period before harvest increases the level of thc. not by much, only 1-5% of the percentage of thc (ie, if it's 20%thc, you can get up to 21% thc...) this is not worth it to some, but others swear by it.

Nice growing there i only hope i can get something like that

 

[Garden Knowm]

some people flush too...

If it does not eqaute to more weight and larger yield... I don't do it..

bigger is better...

thx for the info guys and girls very much appreciated, heres another pic from today,,,i can hardly wait for the lights to come on every day to see how much bigger the buds have gotten

 

[newbutpersistent]

hey man, looking good!!! al that in just 3 weeks? I can't wait. Maybe I mised it, did you say what strain it is? Good job and happy yields!!

 

[pyromaniac]

72 hours seems too long, i usually hear 48. you might wanna just turn the lights off 24 hours before harvest, shouldnt really affect yield, and might give you a little more thc. thats what i'm gonna try

 

[jackinthebox]

I have been reading about this, and I have found out that turning the lights down to a 16 hours off, 8 hours on, is a really good way if you want to do the method kind is speaking of. It is suppose to trick the plant into thinking it is going to die, and produce crystals to somehow save itself. It supposebly works, and on one website it said they give the plant no lights for the last 2 weeks, that just seems like turtore for me though : (

 

[kindprincess]

it doesn't increase the number of trichomes, it increases the amount of thc within them. imo, it's not a big enough difference to realy tell, and is a waste of my time. i don't have a dark room, i was running perpetual, and several experiments at the same time.

[matthew1988]

yea i dont think i would do the whole darkness thing either. imo

 

[IntheCloset46]

thx for the info ..i wish i had 2 of em to try both methods. hopefully next time i will.....and thx for the props newbutpersistent, ill get some new pics up soon its lookin much better now i added some more cfls, not sure of the strain its just bagseed from some average bud..im to scared to order seeds still..lol but i kno i will give in sooner or later theres to many crazy strains out there makin me drool
