First attempt at a 24-hour "Martian Method"
Hi mother and sal. I just got back from my uncles house were he is doing the experiments. He was at first was using 2 red cfl's 15w each and 1 yellow cfl 15w for 15 min's during the dark period of flowering. Just to see if it worked and it did so off and running he went. Then he went to 1 hour then 6 hours... lol then 12 hours of martin nights. He started the first 15 min night break test about 3 days after switching to 12/12. As far as what days he added more light to the martin nights I'm not sure. The plants continued to flower as normal from what I could tell but the stretching was about half of what it normally is in the first 2 weeks (my uncle liked). About 3 or 4 days ago my uncle took out the yellow light because he wanted to add more red. The yellow light IMO did not take the plants out of flowering but it's his house lol. So the yellow test is not accurate IMO. AS far as the red goes he seems to think these plants can't get enough red. So he switched to 25w red INC and put 200w in there and from the results I am seeing I agree with him 100%. I am not sure if it matters much but I was slightly off on the light schedule. It's as follows. The 400 HPS is on 11 hours and off 13 and he says he's running the 200w of red INC 12 hours on and 12 hours off so the plants are actuly getting one hour of natural darkness. This much I can tell. These plants are definitely not coming out of flowering. OMG I have not seen this much improvement since we change from dirt to hydro. As far as SIZE goes and resin production again I've not seen this many poppin heads since I flowered under the Procyon led light. I will check every other day but unless I'm missing something all I see every time I go there is a lot more buds
. These plants are going to be through 3 full weeks on fri and I think they will be the fattest I've seen at 3 full weeks with this verity in many years indoors:smokin:..
