the buds are just barely forming..u wont know if you have airbuds until your about to harvest..air buds are just really fluffy and burn really quick, thats all.

Sup Dudes,

So now after reading all the shit going back and forth. What did you finally do? it appears the plants have flowered (kudos), they appear to be moving along slowly but surely. This could be a trait of the strain. (you may have said what it was but I missed it between all my laughter while reading). Or it could be and here's the kicker. because you aren't in complete darkness. I have no idea but I'm wondering because at present my grow isn't sealed. My last grow was and if you are having this type of slow flowering and you DO NOT provide for complete darkness then I'm not gonna take a chance I'll just take my chance on what is known to work. So??? Complete darkness or not iMed???

Dudes, this question is so totally only for IMedicate to respond to. I'm not trying to fight with fellow Americans and our allies!! So please don't cruise my way with aggression.. Read the disclaimer!! :weed:

Dude .. No!! Please read bro prior to subtle sarcastic remarks. I just want to know if he (IMed - NOONE ELSE) placed HIS plants in complete darkness or let them watch TV and maybe some porn at night on the PC screen :-o .
I seriously don't need, nor expect sarcasm from someone that cannot answer the question. Seriously dude Live and let fuckin live!!! And in case no one noticed, it is IMeds thread so asking IMed a question about his grow seem pretty fuckin inline with what we do here!!!

So in short for u CG>408 {It's not the same question} DUDE but I'm sure u see that now :)

:peace:

my plant hasnt been in complete darkness. It has gotten light from the tv and computer. But last night i covered most of the light leaks with some black plastic and it seems to have budded twice as much last night as the prior nights

Cool dude,

That's real cool to receive real world results. I'll ensure to watch my porn out of view of my plants!! :D Even though maybe your girls were just ready to pop!! But i think better safe than sorry and since I only have 2 plants at a time I'll try to maximize yield and weight.

Thanks for being honest after all the controversy....

For any of you wanting to know more about the actual biological process of flowering, from wikipedia:

"While the flowering hormone in most plants (including cannabis) is present during all phases of growth, it is inhibited by exposure to light. To induce flowering, the plant must be subject to at least 8 hours of darkness per day; this number is very strain-specific and most growers flower with 12 hours of darkness to be safe.
The flowering hormone is very quickly inhibited, taking less than two minutes of exposure[citation needed]. Thus, many cultivators are vigilant that no light reach their plants during the flowering phase, some going so far as to research the phases of the moon to avoid exposure to the full moon during critical phases of flowering. Indoor growers often seal the area in which their plants are growing in an effort to make the space light tight, and are careful not to "peek" at the plants during their dark phase."

It's caused by hormone inhibition - basically, its a good idea not to chance it and most people wouldn't want to screw their investment by accidentally exposing them to ANY light that they have. I'm sure that it causes at least some inhibition in some areas of the plant thereby decreasing possible yield in those buds.

Yep dude, I'm glad u noticed. I'm just a square dick! But I'm an educated square dick that knows how to communicate without calling other growers childish names. Jeesh guy, let me get this right!! Your intelligence (or lack of) told u that you should insult me simply because I asked IMed a question on HIS thread, and I wanted only him to answer? Is that it dude?? LOLOL
I guess you wanted some attention so you had to come on IMeds thread and start flinging insults..

I think we need smarter computers that don't allow idiots to use them! Of course i'm not talking about u CG>408, nope you've got the intelligence thing all wrapped up. I wish everyone was like you and just insulted everyone else simply because our intelligence level is soo high and we can't communicate normally, instead we fling insults like little monkeys flinging shit.
Hey Cg if i follow your example of uncivilized insult flinging, then I should be calling you monkey man?? Can I?? C'mon dude pleeeease! :D

Soz IMed,
Sometimes I wonder why I fought for idiots to share the same freedom as the rest of us. But I guess thats why I love the USA. Even idiots can speak openly example.. Bush, Cali.Grown>408

NE Way IMed thanks for the info. I wont be back to check since i try to surround myself with somewhat intelligent people and that means i gotta distance myself from you know who... MonkeyMan!!! LOL J/K dude I don't want to drop down to the lower levels of society and start name calling..
CG if yu have something to say you can PM because I wont be checking on this thread. So lets see how mature you are it'll show from your actions from here forward. U can reply here to show how "intelligent" you are or we take this offline and settle the misunderstanding like two intelligent humans...

BTW - most people that know me on RIU know very well I'm no trouble maker' I'm a USMC Vet now...:leaf:

Hi fettsvett,

In fact the debate was only covering TV's and PC monitors. Jut to know if the light from these would actually inhibit the flowering. I think we all know that they need darkness, but just as was said earlier, some strains can probably support a little light due to being grown outdoors under the moonlight. Whereas some strains may totally freak out if given a little light. So I just was asking IMed if he noticed anything in his grow from leaving the PC or TV on..

Thanks for the info though bro...

Whats up guys. Day 17 of flowering. The xxxchem plant doesnt really look like it has flowered much in the last 3 days. This plant is suppose to go 75 days so im like 1/4 of the way through, how do you guys think my plant will look by the end of harvest? Popcorn buds or do you think it the main stem will be one big bud? My lighting isnt the best (150 watts of CFL).
