first time dealing with ladies from start to finish ( just started flowering so got some time left) :
2- gorrila glue #4
2-sunset sherbet
1- 3x crazy
1- gdp
2- pre 98 bubba

thoroughly excited through the process. started these ladies in soil mixture i devolved after reviewing many other soil mixes. The seeds first signs of green was on December 16th( gorilla glue and one sherbet). The clones(everything else), were brought in December 31st. Roughly 19 hours lights on 5 hours lights off. On January 20th switched the lights to 15-9 and on the 24th switched to 13-11. Humidity was a little high (60%-70%) but I just put a dehumidifier in the room and its all kosher. Temps have been kept between 78-82 during the day and 65-70 at night. Have been feeding dragon fly earth meds since January 24th. please feel free to ask questions or give input!

why the crazy light hours? ok starting to flower, but why not just do a switch to 12/12, arent you reinventing the wheel? fixing something that isnt broke?
the gg4 should be outstanding

well the 19/5 was because i didnt set the timer properly at first and didnt notice until i went to change it again to 15/9. My thought on the 15 /9 is the planet doesnt jump from 18-6 to 12-12 over night, figured it would be less stress on the plant. As for the 13/11 ive read multiple places that 13/11 provides better buds and bigger yield. Also read that the planet on average during fall is 12 hours 45 minutes sunlight and 11 hours 15 minutes darkness. For science!

Na man going from more hours of light to less rapidly does not stress them at all. I have gone from 18/6 to 12/12 right away many times. 13/11 may keep them from budding but may not, its the 12 hours of uninterrupted dark they need to flower. Yeah GG#4 should be sweet there us a thread on here with outsta di g results and my friend grew GG before moving.

Some people say wont flower, but so far no problems. The clones are starting to produce first signs of flower. They have been on a 600 w since first December 16th. I totally forgot about different lights for flower and veg so they have been under hps the whole time haha. The space is 4 foot wide 6 and a half feet long and 8 high. Thank you!
