First attempt at a 24-hour "Martian Method"

[Mother]

If I compare the top 3 inches or so I see a lot more white hairs on the (red inc/cfl flower). The flower with the red inc'/cfl's also looks slightly thicker to me and has about 5% more trichomes IMO. Remember this batch only had the Martian lights on 4 extra hours. The other batch we ran red inc's/cfl's for 11 extra hours throughout most of the flowering cycle and they had about 15% more trichomes IMO. The 12/12 SID flower looks more leafy to me. Next time my uncle and I need to tweak the PAD spectrum and the timers a little.

Very interesting. These results are rather similar to my friend's results (remember the Sour-D?) on a new batch that has only 1-2 hours AD. Just a little less leafy, a little more dense, and a little more resinous.

This all makes sense if the difference is because less energy is being devoted to vegging functions (less daytime) and more energy is being devoted to flowering/ripening functions, because of the AD.

Now I'm really excited to try a 6/10/8 schedule!

First attempt at a 24-hour "Martian Method" In order to keep track of events, at the request of some online friends, and in order to share the love with the rest of the cannabis community, I'm starting my first grow log using the Martian Method, which I learned about from a very helpful Salmayo, here: http://www..com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30203&highlight=Martian and it has also been discussed in another thread on this board, starting at post 1438: http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-lighting/150174-perfect-led-grow-light-58.html Rating: 5
