You won't have to do a stem rub I bet. Bet that you just feel like you got smacked in the face with a pineapple outta nowhere.

yo would you recommend this light controller?
I'll be getting one for the first time and only looking to run 6 600s but will expand (prolly would never exceed 8k though)

The best investment I've ever made...
The C.A.P. MLC-8X is a lighting controller. It is directly hard wired to a 50amp breaker in my electrical panel. Allows me to plug in up to Qty. 8, 1000watt HID ballasts. They all run 240v like a clothes dryer would. There are 8 240v electrical outlets that all kick on when the separate timer I have you see pictured on the left goes on. The C.A.P. has what they call a trigger cable, it's a standard 120v wire that plugs into your timer, and when the timer goes on it sends a signal to the C.A.P.'s relay triggering ON Time and OFF time. So All at once.. Boom Let There Be Light!! I have a couple HIDs plugged in as you can see in the photo. Will be adding light after light periodically as time goes on. In fact there is a new ballast already on the way.

I love my MLC-8X. Does exactly what it's supposed to. One word of advice tho... if you get one... look at the photo and see the black cord coming out on the bottom right? Thats a regular 120v "trigger cable" and it plugs into a standard timer. When the timer goes on, every ballast plugged into the MLC-8X fires up.. when it goes off, they all die.. Whatever you do.. you wanna make sure that the fans and whatever you are using to cool your grow are plugged into an outlet that is sharing the same circuit breaker in your electrical panel as the timer with the trigger cable. That way, if you trip that breaker and your fans go out the timer will also be cut off of electricity and the MLC-8X will turn off. Having all of those lights running while your fans are off could be very dangerous. Thinking like this and taking that precaution has already saved my ass twice since I bought it. A friend of mine here in town tho.. not so lucky for him. He is currently begging me for new clones as we speak, lol.
The trigger cable is just what it sounds like.. it gets juice it turns the light controller on. Hence using a timer.
If it gets cut off from power, like when the timer turns off.. the MLC-8X shuts everything down.
Best investment I ever made.

Looking good as always Batman. You know the best place to get colchicine online?

How bout makin silver water with electrolosis? Just tryin to find the best way to force hermie outdoor. I did just pick a banana off a prebudding purple #1, too early plus I don't want to pass on those traits.

Well since I do not make or grow fem seeds nor do I grow outdoors.. I dont really understand why you're in here asking me?
You could always google what you're looking for. I think ICMag has some threads I recall on forcing male preflowers on your plant.
Personally I still see all of this as a waste of time.

I'm not saying I don't know.. it's just too exhausting to type all of that. but still I see it as a waste of time.. if you want a good way to get fem pollen.. best thing to do would have been to grow a smaller plant, same strain.. in a pot if keeping outside (or inside for the matter) and interrupt the light cycle by shining a bright CFL bulb right close next to the top of the plant.. do this a couple times a night for a few minutes each time and you'll get your nanners.
if you really wanna explore the other methods by using that medication that's primarily used for gout... theres a ton of info on it. but also a ton of comments saying its not a good idea. you have no idea what kind of residual that colchicine is going to leave. i'd guess a seedling treated probably wouldn't grow up to carry much.. but I personally just don't like the idea. it's not natural at all and that's alot of concern for some folk.. me I just don't wanna fuck with the genes and manipulate chromosomes and/or create hermies. . (keep in mind I usually couldn't care too much less about organics or pleasing mother nature) but I feel when you manipulate the plant like this you are taking from it and probably will lose attributes relating to vigorous growth (hence my waste of time comment). the light manipulation trick is more feasible in my mind because if you take a dual sex plant and force it to show male preflowers, you are not manipulating the genepool.. just causing enough stress to let the plant do what it is designed to do in a harsh environment. either way you get your fem pollen.
To preserve a line this is a good trick and one breeders use extensively.
space princess female x space princess fem pollen = space princess selfed <-- should produce space princess beans.
Personally tho.. I myself am not a fan of lazy breeding
space princess female x spacedawg fem pollen = New F1 polyhybrid (fem seeds)
"Nature is efficient and 1 male can pollinate hundreds of females a good grower will generally get 70% females anyway.
The whole Fem seed thing is a rush to cash made of lazy people looking to skip the time honored tradition of selecting the best female and keeping her around through cloning. This type of Hurry up at all cost science is costing us artisian craftmenship.
I stand by this at great cost to total profits, right is right and wrong is wrong. Love me hate me call me stupid this is my story and I'm sticking with it...Fem seeds are to Regular like Hot Pockets to a real nutritional meal"- Subcool
& Idk if you read but there's also alot of info out there in regards to using aspirin to force a female plant to show male preflowers. Also something I personally could care less about.. but I try to read and learn everything I can on these plants.

If anyone would like they can get an autographed picture of my junk for free.. but I gotta warn ya'll it has been known to pollinate young budding females.

Hey good info man. Sorry to waste your time but looking at your grows I knew you'd have credible input. I'm mostly an outdoor grower so I like to keep a plentiful seed stock. I only stumbled upon your thread while looking for Blue Thunder grows since I'm giving her a go this year As long as I got your attention though I was wondering what your input is on the purple gene for anthocyanin. My question is why is it usually the leaves or the bud that turn purple and not both? Do you know of a strain thats both?

Personally I'm not a huge fan of most purple strains and I've never even wondered that. I know there's a strain called Purple Pineberry that gets pretty purple all over. But that's just knowledge I've gained from photos. If I wanted pure purple plants that I was actually going to smoke I'd grow Double Purple Doja crosses. Most Other purps (like purple kush) don't really do it for me.

The degradation of chlorophyll is what produces the color in the leaves and the pigment left behind is what produces those awesome leave colors. I do know that by besides lower temps, raising the PH of your nutrient solution in late bloom, creates certain nutrient lockout and it is possible to induce faster colorchange if you're into that kinda thing. I wouldnt do that until they are at least past 50 days of bloom (for an 8-9 week strain) or you'll surely suffer a loss in over all yield.

If your looking for a solid purp the look for mendo montage from gage green in the future, geting a solid purp pheno wasnt hard
