This thread is my second attempt at using the "Martian Method" or "Artificial Darkness" lighting technique developed by SalMayo and associates. For full disclosures and disclaimers, see my first attempt: http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/...ml#post1945600 but to summarize: I didn't invent this lighting technique nor do I claim to fully understand it. I'm just testing it to see for myself what it can do.

This time I'm going with one Heavy Duty Fruity plant in soilless mix using Pure Blend Pro for vegging (done by this point) and FoxFarm chemical nutes for flowering.

I was going to start this thread a week or two ago, but I couldn't get the light timing right so she just kept vegging, and grow logs of vegging plants are not terribly exciting.

I've set the lighting to 6/7/10/1 from a previous 6/10/8 schedule. If she doesn't start flowering in the next 7-10 days, I'm going to take an hour from daylight and put it to total darkness, but I don't think that will be necessary.
