It's the digital camera and the lighting -- the plant, in person, is an emerald green. Very beautiful for just 150 watts at 1.3 foot distance from the bulb. Personally, I still can't believe that's one plant -- all that from a few minute cuts.

I originally only vegged it under 98 watts of mixed spectrum CFLs -- high and low kelvin. I did this for three and a half weeks under a 24/0 light schedule. During that entire vegetative cycle, the 24/0, it grew to about a foot with little more than a centimeter between each node. Then I switched it to the 12/12 regimen, kept it there for a week, then switched to 11/13 the following week and kept it for another week. Now I'm on my third week, going on the fourth, and it's on 10/14 and to stay at that until harvest.

So, in order, that's...
3.5 weeks / 24/0
1 week / 12/12
1 week / 11/13
Until harvest / 10/14

I flowered it only after I had seen that the seven main stalks were health and had the beginning of alternating nodes, which was about 3.5 weeks. Well, a little less but I had to transplant to the container it's in now and wanted to let it recuperate for a couple extra days to add up to three and a half weeks in the end. And one of the only reasons it even has that many budsites is due to the Topping and FIMing, which were started at the plant's third node when it was about a week old.

Oh, and it's still growing all right! Must have packed on another .7 inch or so over night, but it's slowed substantially.

Nah, my grow box pretty much never goes under seventy degrees and never goes over ninety. It might be that I transplanted about five days before inducing that initial 12/12 cycling. The roots and plant are still growing strong, so I'm not too worried.



All right, I'll be on later tonight. Thank you for posting and visiting, hope I maybe inspired some people -- maybe given some ideas. I'm still taking suggestions, so if anyone has any I'd be greatly appreciative. I'll try to post pictures tonight, so stay tuned.
