I posted the first 2 before I realized I was a page behind. Once again the 600 answered a ? I had without asking. The light time schedule is something I'va wondered about for awhile. Between what I've read and my years experience outdoors has left me a little confused. Even in the outdoor forums you read a lot as if they wont flower till 12/12. I've yet to see a plant need exactly 12/12 outside to flower. Knowing this I wondered where the variance in strains was when they begin to flower and exactly or closely to the light time needed to flower. It amazes me the amount of people in the outdoor forums waiting for their daylight hours to go down to 12 hours as if they had a watch saying not yet it's 12and a 1/2 hours another 6 days and we're on.lol I've always thought that my sativas popped earlier now from you guys I once again have somewhere to start from. My electric bill thanks you for this I must try for heat issues this time around.

How's about this:

Perfect!

I opened it back up in youtube, and will add it to my favorites...
...once I figure out how to get youtube to stop trying to coincide
all my online identities...

Thanks!

I agree. I had some blue dream that flowered at 13.5 light and one of them revegged at 14. It would be very beneficial to know which strains flower when... approximately. Where I live, pretty much everything flowers as soon as you put it outside; I'm too low in latitude. I'm thinking of trying Durban Poison sometime and seeing how it goes in regards to sunlight needs.

the cuts I took last night the darker green are top cuts from everything, the light green are bottom cuts from pw#1#2, and the other 5 are from my two males and have started to root and came down with me in the moveWP_20130722_001.jpgWP_20130722_002.jpg new growth already WP_20130722_020.jpg BA#1 WP_20130722_027.jpg

I do think more sativa leaning strains will start flower sooner, it's in their genetics, maybe bc they know they take forever and their genetic memory of the type of sessions where they originated. Longest flowerers iv run whent aboot 12 weeks. Iv never run a true sativa I think,,,, def not the person to talk to here.

This is one issue I have been confused about. On Sensi Seeds website, it says that Skunk #1 is 35% Sativa and 65% Indica. Just by the way it is growing I know that is bullshit. Could they have inverted the numbers? Every other seed breeder with Skunk #1, The Pure, and Shit claims it to be 75% sativa - which seems correct based on my observations. So I suppose Sensi's info is wrong?

im growing s#1, and its a heavy indica dom, third run with it as well , pretty uniform
i get the occasional other pheno tho

I think it's supposed to be the opposite isn't it? Indicas flower sooner and more easily because they evolved in areas of higher latitude which meant longer days than in equatorial areas.

  • Are there any issue using a 600w dimmable ballast set at other wattages with a 600w HPS? My ballast has a 300W, 450W, 600W, and 660W settings. I can see the 660W shortening the life of the bulb, but will running it at 300W or 450W cause any resistive heat or other issues in the ballast or bulb? Thanks

No problems....it's less strain on the equipment. .................................:peace: cof
