might go lights off for 48-72 hours... i should be able to be objectional on the difference as i am going to cut a top off at the very point that the lights would kick on, and view the differences...

I've read alot about the 72 hour dark period. The most negitive thing I've seen is it neither helps or hurts. I would take the word of Brick Top and do 72 hours dark.
yea it was actually brick top's posts that convinced me.

ive got the time, so im not too bothered. i think one more night of light, then dark for 72 hours...

well my 4x8 growlab has arrived, and i felt motivated and put it up. originally i was going to wait until my cycle was done to shift things around but since i want to do my choppin on my glass desk i rearranged things. i hope i didnt bust a nut sliding my 4x4 tent with the full reservoir (25gal) across the carpet. its not the final way everything is going to be, the 4x4 is going on the other side of the room so it will be facing the door when i walk in, but the big tent is where its gonna be, which is right by the window. i think im getting a couple portable AC units because the AC units in here are bullshit.

i would just like to declare that i love grow tents. i had that one put together within an hour, and even in a cramped room it wasnt difficult getting the shell around the frame.

i think i paid like $340 for that growlab on ebay.

harvest seems to be at least a few days out still, time is crawling by. whoever had previously said they still had plenty of time was right. i am going to have to go backtrack over my last journal and see what the time length was again. i do remember it seems like all of a sudden it was like just a little bit of amber trichs then they blew up... i still have a very very small amount of clear heads as of yesterday morning when i chopped a chunk off... wish this would hurry up, but now i am glad i put a small amount of nutes and liquid karma in the water a few days ago.

i just lowered the ec, i was trying to push it a bit too hard... i did get a very good idea of the limits this plant cant take, and know exactly where it needs to be for flower now. in my opinion some little burn like that isnt a huge issue, as long as N tox isnt deforming the leaves. if i remember correctly i was trying to see how it was responding to 2.0ec, it did not like it. i think i backed off down to about 1.2-1.4 for a few days by water addition, then normalized on the next reservoir change around 1.5ec... ideally until late in flower i think 1.4-1.5 is best for this plant. late in flower i think dropping to 1.5-1.6, during weeks 6 and 7 is good...

now that ive got my new tent i have to make some concrete decisions on what system im going to employ. i am digging dwc in coolers, but was thinking i could rock a perpetual easily in the 4x8 with nft tracks... almost time to build...
