Rofl tough job with that 24 hours of light... plugging ballasts into the wall is tough shit. Why are his plants so stretchy? lol and I laughed at 8hours, who the hell does 8 hours? and everyone knows watering everyday is bad news in soil.

Bottom line, I have 1/4 of the plants and yield more better buds. haha kinda sad...

yea thats whos growing our bud tho. a bunch of guys who said holy fuck i can do this legally?! and they bought some genetics, dirt and lights. no research and so on....those plants were touching the lights, not air cooled, no air flow, watering daily, no perlite, black walls, dollar store buckets prob without cutting drain holes, no trimming of small bottom buds, plants look sick as hell, showing his face on TV in a small town LOL

what im talking about is a bit different, each week you drop an hour of light so week x your at 8 on/16 off. its purpose is to simulate nature and i think it might help with resin production but only the last couple weeks. any sooner and your risking yield by reducing light hours.

oh yeah but see id rather just do what a lot of people do and just give 48 hours of darkness before harvest. i herd it makes lot of res

wouldnt decreasing light during the last week or two decrease yield though? thats when your plant puts on the most weight right? less light ... less growth.

All I know is the plants after being in the dark for like 10 hrs or more will start producing a chemical. IDK what it's called but it's what causes a plant to flower. So maybe it also increases the volume of trichs in order to catch more pollen. Just a stoner guess though. Ok I'm going to bed now.

its not supposed to help in increasing yield, its supposed to greatly amass trich production.

Ok so its not going to decrease yeilds instead of chopping u give them some dark same yeild more Trichomes.

Tric's don't grow in 2 days. I bet the chemical doesn't change much inside them in that time either. What you do get is stress on the plant that causes it to weep resin like no other in a attempt to get some pollen. So you get more resin, but that's not more bud or more trichs.

Sweet I was closer than I thought. So you don't think the plant would also make the trich's bigger for more mass to aid in catching the pollen? IDK but it seems right to me. Does it work?
