Only thing should be Sativas maybe..Is it the reasoning, why outdoor buds seem quite different then indoor?
I dont know if Iam trusting this or not tho...
Yes, Iam used to 11/13 when in last week flowering.. But 10/14?
How does that corelate to DLI I wonder ?
One can only try himself I guess
It was the smell I was getting worried about, they sure beefed that up really heavily in the last few weeks, I had two carbon filters on my exhaust and I could still smell it about 100m up the street
Pleasure my friend! Enjoy the experimenting heyGood stuff, good stuff!
Im going to check out this study, @easty thanks for those details about your experience and @dankd for hooking up that link.
Not sure if i said it before but the almostmystical GLR - Gas Lanthern Routine does also work. Heard about it some years ago and back then it sounded nuts, been curious ever since, tried it, worked well.
Breakdown of one day of GLR veg:
12 hrs lights ON
5:30 hrs lights OFF
1 hr lights ON
5:30 hrs lights OFF
Flower hormones are said to be destroyed within the 1 hr of light intervention in the midst of the darkness to keep it just below the critical level to trigger flowering. Still the hormones are said to build up and when you flip em they are juiced up and ready to go. I have not done side by side with clones thus the hypothetical articulation but i indeed grew like 2 crops of 2 diff cultivars on GLR to 12/12 and can therefore testify that this method is working.
I'll also link this to my Homework thread for my own rememberance...
I use 14/10 (on/off) for the first 5 weeks of flowering and then down to 12/12 for the last 5 or so weeks. The increase in yield and terpenes has been crazy. My yields went from 9oz under 300w to 15oz under the same light. I grow mainly indica and indica hybrids but have also grown a sativa hybrid that liked it as well.
Yes mate, still using this method, I do it every grow nowI’m just curious if you are still using the same method ?
14 on for the first 5 weeks of flowering then down to 12 hours?
It kind of makes sense because most places don’t get over 14-15 hours of daylight on the longest day of the year.
I may give it a try.Yes mate, still using this method, I do it every grow now
Good stuff mate, it definitely works well with indicas and I've got a few more sativa type plants this run and they seem to like it as well. My increase in yield is why I keep doing it.I may give it a try.
Many places never produce 18 hours of daylight so I wonder where 18/6 came from.
As I recall it started when growing indoors was just starting and the lights, at first fluorescents and 250-400 watt MH and HPS, just didn’t put out a light comparable to natural sunlight and to compensate a longer light period (18 hours) to try and make up for the difference came into being.I may give it a try.
