hey GG, glad to be back too. skiing was amazing. so much snow, and plenty of that amazing cali bud.

I had a question for anyone ... anyone ever tried to slowly shift the light cycle? Basically I set my on/off for 9pm-9am (on at night for temps) and I am quickly realizing that those times are not very convenient for me. I was thinking about trying to shift it, in 5, 10 or 15 min intervals so that it is more like 8-8. Think it's better to do it very gradually like that or just switch it real quick? Any experience anyone ?

Things should be getting interesting soon so stay tuned!

its best to keep it set where its at, but if you have to switch, gradual is the key. just replicate mother nature's slowly shifting seasons. 15 minute intervals per every two days oughtta be okay. i myself encountered the same situation and thats what i did. no problems whatsoever.

the only waste of time as far as gradual switching goes is to gradually switch them to 12/12 from veg. it doesn't do anything beneficial, imho.

stay safe

5mins/day for 12 days...or 10mins/day for 6 days for fast shifting. Either way, they'll be fine!

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I am going to start the gradual shift tonight and just make it last the next couple of weeks. Just looking to switch it by an hour or so.

PEACE

Well, a little update.

Things are moving along. Only about 4 days in flower so nothing really, but everyone in the flower room is blowing up which is a great sign. Some of the clones struggled a little, but they all look like they will survive and prosper.

The mother room is growing out of control. I don't want to really chop anything down at the moment so that I can choose the best clones for the next clone run. Just waiting on the current clones to root; they probably have another 6 or 7 days till they will be ready. Then I can take a bunch more and chop the mom's down a lot.

I snapped some pics. The mom's are gnarly to say the least, but hey, it's workin'. I just have the LST the shit out of them to keep them from burning themselves to death. Oh ya, and the mom's appear to have a Calcium issue, I am thinking maybe from pH issues. I have been using drops and thought everything was ok but I just ordered a pH pen so hopefully I will have a more exact number. I also started foliar feeding them with dolomite lime as well as increasing the pH a tad for the feedings. Anyways enjoy ...

1) DP Mom
2) GB Mom
3) PS Mom, I know she looks like a bundle of wheat and isn't exactly kosher with the LSTing, but it just has to work for another week lol.
4) Flower room: AG mom on left, clones on right (PS,DP,GB)
5) Veg/Mom room, you can see what a "mess" it is.

all the clones out for reorganization.

peace all,

Ya no kidding, line them up ... They are actually startin to show buds now, that's the exciting part!!

This Gigabud I have says 5-6 weeks flowering time. It was a freebee, but it is the shortest flowering I have ever seen. I have up to 7 weeks before 4/20, so just in case, but if I can consistently pull at 5-6 weeks, it would be great.

Not to mention the GB loves the nutes, clones so f-ing easy and is so strong. Let's just hope the smoke is great too! I don't know why this wouldn't be an ideal commercial strain if it produces nice stuff at 6 weeks.

We shall find out! G13 Labs is relatively new, so who knows what they have come up with.

Take care dude,
