First attempt at a 24-hour "Martian Method"
Dog: yes, definitely keep an eye on re-vegging as I saw it after about 5-6 days (2-3 days of 24h, 25W RedInc light, bumped up to 50W after 2-3 days), but only on the two plants that were not as far along with flowering. They sprouted flowers after the first 2 days, but then began to re-veg. It seems they were sensing nighttime, but not a long enough night to stay in flowering. The plant that was further along seemed to benefit from the extra Far Red (seemingly faster bulking), but I'm not sure how that would have played out indefinitely or if it was really faster than normal, as I have no way to measure that.
You have been doing Red and Yellow nightbreak experiments, yes? What are the details of what you've found? (Of course I read the other thread, but putting it all here and in greater detail I think will help us both along)
Specifically (and of course, if you don't mind):
- What colors did you use?
- How long were your night breaks?
- What morphological effects did you see? Less stretch, correct? Faster/slower/same rate flowering? More/less/same amount of flowers? How about the leaves? Any changes in size/number/color/etc.? Anything else?
- How about general, qualitative "growth rate"? Did your plants seem to show anything there?
- What are your guesses about what your experiments did to your plants' night clock?
I've read, re-read, and re-re-read all of Sal's clues and comments, and I think I'm understanding the process much better now, even with the little data that I have.
Sal: yes, I'm definitely a comfortable risk-taker as long as I'm risking something I'm willing to lose, and some small crops are definitely something I'm willing to lose if it gets me further along in being able to grow better in the future. So definitely don't feel any sort of guilt if you see me walking right into a pitfall that you've already overcome, because I fully expect to mangle some plants in the process, and that's fine by me. As long as I get to understand what my mangling is doing, and how to get around it, I find it rather fun. :-) I always have been and always will be an experimenter at heart. At this point, progress is far, far more important than any particular results from these particular plants.
