i would like to discuss your plants furthur as im still a bit unsure what to do with em
i can only find that your the only person growin cinnamon to
my msn is [email protected]
it would be handy as you can see other people are saying to leave them and one bloke says the one week thing is for clones aswell
Your saying using any spectrum besides blue during vegetative has a detrimental affect on the plants 'final expression', ....................... ?Quote:

Plants shouldnt be flowered until at least 6 weeks...why??? easy ull see the yield and quality at the end....specially if u have them under a small lummen output lamps such as fluoros...the spectrum is also important im not sure if what stinky wrote is correct but i can say that a blue spectrum in the veg cycle is more then welcome (altho some ppl go all the way with hps)....to make a long story short veg cycle is crucial to the final result of ur bud quality....happy grow m8
Indeed, wait untill you have a few more nodes yet, and wait untill some of the secondry shoots are growing. When you put it into 12/12 the secondry growth will bush out. These will all be bud sites.Quote:

2 is best.
If space is an issue, then you flower when plant get's to be 1/3 the height of the available grow space
I have done experiments with all phases of vegging times and ...see above.
If you have clones then you can veg as little as 2 weeks.
Now since clones take the age of the mother...they can be flowered at 1 week, but understand that is 1 week of veg after 2 weeks of rooting; And, they won't yield diddly. take the extra time and do it right.
If you rush or shortcut any stage...you will not be happy in the end. good luck
Sure, the spectrum should be predominately blue, but all blue? I'd like to hear more on this because I don't believe using red spectrum in the blue phase, as long as there is blue spectrum being used............. would affect the plants sex so significantly.Quote:

ive got a red and a blue in there the blues on the younger ones vegin and the red is on a couple mangos flowerin there in the same room
i put the mango into a dark cupboard at night for 12 hrs
because i have the blue light lower down than the red its making the bottom shoots of the mango flower out a lot more but its still growin nearly an inch a day in height
they looking good so far il put an update on here on a new thread in a week or two whe they get bigger
I dont really understand what are you trying to say but anyway ...Quote:

The above is not a "must", some growers have their plants all the way with one spectrum usually when using HPS bulbs, some growers use a new sort of lamps wich puts out a purple spectrum (blue/red), some use a mix of fluoros all the way through out the grow making sure that in the dif cycles they use more of a type of specific spectrum....
I do understand that, but I'm a little confused about using only red spectrum in vegetative and the fact someone stated it has a detrimental affect on the plants sex.Quote:
