What do ur plants do on their dark cycle

[bob bobbinson]

Just curious. What do these babies do?
I hear they sleep hehe

Do they just get rdy for the light? do they produce calaxs or does this happend to the female plant during light cycle.

Thx for answering another silly question by.. Bob

They dream of being smoked and grow ;)

[LIP]

They relax, and gather energy to keep going when the lights come back on, thats why i say its best to veg under 18/6.

It's also how a plant flowers, it measures the time of uninterrupted darkness, at least that what i think

[orangeman]

They relax and do something with the sugar in it's self..I forgot exactly but I read it some where..I really wish I remember xD.

yes they build up energy in the dark period but ive found this is only in the flowering phase during veg they dont need to do this imo.thats why ive always used 24/0 during veg as you get more growth.people who use 18/6 during veg will argue this but i have grown both ways in veg and imo the plants grow better 24/0 than 18/6 but as i say its each to their own.the postman.

Not sure about the plant gathering energy. It's debatable.

Lip hit it dead on with your plants measuring the time of interrupted darkness. Basically, the dark cycle releases flowering hormones in your plant that cause it to flower. Any sort of light whatsoever makes the flowering hormone become completely dormant again.

Harddon recommends 14/10 for flowering, and I must say that it makes sense and I'll be trying it very soon.

Thx for the info. Not sure about the 14/10 yet. gonna finish this one 12/12 first. then mabye give it a try. Sounds intresting about the increased thc with the extra light hrs.

Ya I really wondered what the girls were doing all by themselfs in the dark :}
At first I thougth they were gossiping. but now i know, there preparing to gossip hehe.

<-------- kinda medicated.

i use 11/13 myself after 2 weeks of 12/12, this allows the plant to finish on its finishing date. like grim said during the dark period the plant releases hormone whick promotes flower growth, this one is the reasons ur turn ur fans off during the dark. also if i find if u leave ur plants in the dark for the last 3/5 days before cutting the will bud out like mad is a last dying act to produce seed . IMO the produce flowers at night and use the light during the day to produce new veg growth.
i am probably wrong but with my own grows i found these things

They all are girls and they sleep close together so I assume they are very close friends probably with benefits too.

Maybe I should setup a camera. I could set up a porn site and show pictures of plant love?? :D

They are a little young I wonder if it would be considered kiddy porn?

WOW I didnt know I should turn my fan off at night?????:confused:
Ive never heard this before. hmmm so, basically they flower faster or better with fan off? Anyone else do this?


ZANDOR.. Yes thats dispicable.. it is kiddiee pron :P shame on u ;)

PARANOIA... guess I skipped that day in class long ago :P I know photosyntheses uses light to turn it into energy using co2 and excreating o2. but that about as far a my knowledge on the subject goes :P

In school long ago we put a leaf and stem into a water filled jar with a hose comming out of the top. We then shined a light on the plant and we say bubbles of o2 being released. More light, more bubbles. And the results were IMediate.. This was way cool to me as a youngster. Always remembered it.

That requires light, that is why nobody has said that. The point was the lights off.
