Maybe my lights are telling me to flip to 12/12. my HPS bulb went out 30min after the light came on. luckily i have a spare on hand. Dang bulb is only 3 weeks old too P.O.S. I hope the store gives me a new one.

Just a quickie at lights out.Didn't wanna keep the door open too long so just stuck my arm in and snapped a few shots... apologies
Smells getting a little funky if you mess with it but apart from that no concerns at all with smell.Dont even have an air freshner plugged in.

now thats what i'm talkin about Puff.. Hmm, i can't wait. I got home from work and my plant had a huge growth spurt. dang scrog is filling up fast.. So tomorrow will be first day of 12/12. 
happy happy joy joy.
Kite, I'm under a 600 watt HPS with digital dimmable ballast. No worries though. I had a spare bulb on hand. And the hydro store replaced my burnt out bulb without a problem. See my lights were telling me to flip.. lmao

Looking great PD, happy and healthy. I'm curious about the day count. The experienced posters here are saying day 52 harvest for this strain rather than looking at the pistils, trichs, etc. Are you counting from the day you flipped? I have read of both ways to start the count, and personally don't believe that you can go by just counting days, but have to read the plant too. Kite, if you could give some insight on this I would appreciate it. Is the day 52 count that precise with the Cindy?

great question! I personally start my flowering days when I switch the light schedule to flowering period... I intentionally did not say 12/12, because you can induce flowering at 13/11 and some strains at 14/10.
but everyone is different. again.. great question.

thanks guys.
I actually emailed ,paradise seeds one time about this issue and they say it's from day of turning your lights back.
Personally i feel kite is probably bang on with 52 days.I emailed FS and asked them if there would be any point going to day 60 or so and they said the highly recommended 7 - 8 weeks of flowering .So really 52 or 53 days is 7.5 weeks.. right on the money.Depends how it looks to me ,if i think she looks good enough at 52 i'll take her then.I will go no further than 54 though.
I actually think people should give reputable breeders more respect with the advertised flowering time.I have found that a plant i take when the breeder says to take it ,is top notch smoke.Sure letting it go like 2 weeks more will give you more amber and a more knock out stone.But that is degraded thc and you are not getting off the plant the true charachter of the plant that the breeder wants you to get

correct my friend...flowering response is TOTALLY regulated by the dark cycle...nothing else is the "trigger"...not nute ratios, temps, color of light ...nothing but the correct amount of darkness to allow the flowering hormone level to reach the levels required to cause the response
as to the time to pick the fruit...here you go
And Mel Frank is NOT a Jorge or Ed ..he is a real botanist and does play the lies for $$ game

thanks mechanical!
Nice info kite.. but the nicer thing is you have this strain down and you can vouch it will be sweet in 52 days.. correct?
