I keep talking about increasing the dark period for bloom rather than decreasing the light period. This is because I believe that the plant is reponding to a longer night more than a shorter day (although both periods are important to the plant). I ran an experiment once with "ahemeral" light cycles. Hemeral = 24 hour day. Ahermeral = not 24-hour day. My experiment kept my light period at 24 hours, but increased the dark period. So instead of going 24/0, 20/4, 18/6, etc, I went 24/0, 24/4. 24/8, etc. The plants kicked into bud at about 24/8. They were confused little girls though, and after a couple of clone cycles through this experiment, I had a disproportionate number of hermies and males develop. Also, they seemed to want to continue veg growth along with the bud growth. I ended up with large, tight, over-leafy buds with poor thc development and a lot of clorophyl. They went throug the "Prepetual Motion Goodness Extractor" I described in another thread and made good hash though . . . .
rodekyll Reviewed by rodekyll on . best way to grow id like to know how different growers grow there plant only experienced cultivators. tell me if you grow from clones, seeds, if you let it grow without any pruning or if you bend etc and the benefits from doing so personally i grow from clones started in rockwool then transfered to pots and i let them do there thing but if some start to grow tall and thin ill take a clone from the central stem Rating: 5
