Beautiful lady,farmerlion! BBK seems to get her running!

And very fast!More malawi leaning probably?

Happy growing!

Syd Barrett, I figured I would stay with the blues this year. I'm afraid if I played Pink Floyd all the time that when people smoked it they may end up in the hospital. I can't take that risk and sleep at night. lol Peace

2 1/2 weeks from first pistils

only 16/18 more weeks to go.....

Perhaps you already know this, but if you decrease the hours of light you give during flowering (for example 11/13 light/darkness), you also decrease the flowering time. This also decrease yield a little bit, but not that much. If you do this after the stretch, it decreases yield just a tiny amount.
I did this with Zamaldelica & without this "trick" I had 16 or 17 weeks flowering time. With this "trick" I had to wait 10 to 11 weeks to harvest. No noticeable difference in yield. I started with this from the beginning of flowering.

I agree I use 12/12 from first true leaves and 11/13 from first sign of flowers. This is for sativas to control stretch and quicken flowering as I have a small space works well without it I could not grow them indoors.

Hi siever,are you talking bout clones or different seeds?

yep , I've heard that... a wee bit of decreased yield , which is no big thing, but what does it do to the the quality???... I would think (maybe I'm wrong), but going from 16/17 weeks down to 10/11 surely must have some effect ...maybe???

Thanks everyone. As several of you may know I don't smoke. I have a couple times after my back surgery then stopped again. I have worked in the oilfield 26 years now. I pee in a cup often. I love the grow! Doing sativas I just get more time to love what I'm doing. Last year I did a 9/15 finish after starting with a 15/9. My room is 10'wx14'lx9'h or 3.5m w x 4.5m l x 3m h. Trying to refine the learning curve from indicas to sativas. I want to be able to do both equally well. If I try something new and it doesn't work out. I don't have patients waiting in disappointment. Yes my goal is to be a medical provider when local laws change. It will be Sativas and it will be the best I can provide for them. Peace Thanks Ace Starting with these genetics is essential to my goal.

Interesting how you are so dedicated to your career. The money must be good. Good Luck.

 

[farmerlion]

AeroKush102, There are several careers I would rather be doing. I honestly sucked at most other things. There is a joy being very good at what you do. Mine just happened to be in a dirty tough industry. Yah, the money should be good to stay out in the freezing cold and being wet. I dream of the day I get to grow even at 1/2 the pay. No price can compensate for passion. Best of luck with your grows. Peace

Some great flowering light schedule being discussed.12/12 and go...spotting flowers11/13.
Is there an allowance to up pot with this style of flowering and can you keep plants at a reasonable height of 5ft.

Very informative strategies for indoor growers.

Thanks ph

 

[zachrockbadenof]

I ask again... reducing the time for 12hrs to 11/10hrs, and the flowering time from 140days to 100/110 days ...does it effect the quality of the smoke???

Same clone, same conditions?

 

[Tangwena]

Hi Zach I think not. I think that the plant can speed up or slow done as dictated by the conditions. Less light means she will just speed up to finish If there is a change in quality i cant detect it.

Something less than 3 weeks.Growing in a room with natural lighting,I think I'll top her.





Last time I LST'd her and she reacted great...

Look at the colour of the stem,red-striped!So damn sexy !

One thing I'm doing different this grow is I have my cfl's and one LED on a separate timer. This timer shuts off at 11 hours. Leaving the two 600 HPS's on for 12 hours. My thought was mimicking sunset??? I may be pissing in the wind.. I know of no other growers in my area to exchange notes or theories with. I've always said if your not occasionally wrecking something your not doing anything. Peace

You will probably see a difference in pheno expressions....Interesting and smart.
That's a first.Great Idea.

I may be completely wrong with this,but shouldn't it be the other way round?11/13 HPS and 12/12 led-cfl so 11 hours full sun and the rest twilight?Very good idea by the way!

up pot is advised at end of initial stretch and then use of 11/13 lighting if long flowering like OTH additional change to 10/14 may be beneficial.
