Temps will play havoc with your eventual yield.
You said on the other thread you've got a problem... I see heat burn from the light hotspots on a few leaves. And the telltale curl/canoeing of heat stress.Another reason to control your temps. Other than that, what should I be looking at?

i think if you manage to do that your going to extend flowering period somehow and those buds will seem to take forever to finish.. From what i heard your probably gonna loose some precious and critical days of flowering thus lowering the yield... to be very sure of it i'd ask GK(GardenKnowm) if i were you. :)

l8r :cool:

i'm sure ms. stinky knows what she's talking about, but all advice and comments are welcome.

hey bud ,
i agree w/ stinky too man . lil xtra darks prob. better than extended periods of light . plnts -r- crazy light sensitive .

I would guess by a few hours... :D

Better to extend it than to lose your crop to heat stress. That's a surefire way to get both herms and small crap buds.

i am currently in the extended dark period.

no hermies, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

yeah I didn't understand the "extending flowering time" argument, :hippy:

That's a sure thing! Can't argue on that ;)

l8r :cool:

sure thing is you are probably gonna longer the flowering process by several days depending how long your dark period is ;)

l8r man :cool:

I love the setup man!The plants are lookin great to!but , you gotta LST those things though man, they're not gonna stop growing vertically, I just bent my kc36 45 degrees from being vertical, on the 21st day of flower. When you tie ,be sure it is atleast 6 hours after the lights have been on and atleast 12 hours after they've been watered. Good luck man , keep us posted !

yeah they are all "kind of" LST'd right now, it makes a bowl-shaped canopy. I may have to try to get them down more, but the stalks aren't very pliable at this point. This BB strain is high maintenance but it's definitely high grade n it does grow fast, looks to be a much better yielder than the A-10 which is also lower grade.
