Yes, I wish there was more data for cannabis available as well. But, you can get the gist of how our favorite plant should behave if wherever they say "rice" you instead read "cannabis". The exact numbers won't be right but they are both short-day plants so they should have the same responses.
thepaan Reviewed by thepaan on . Light cycles and budding hormones? I read somewhere that cannabis plants are always producing a hormone that induces budding. Also this hormone is destroyed by light and this is why the plant will not bud when the days are long. The light is destroying the hormone enough so that it has little, if any, effect. Then when the light period is reduced to 12 hours, the reduction in light allows the hormone level to get high enough to allow the plant to bud. I was wondering if having even less light would make much of a difference Rating: 5
