Killer A5 Haze

I tried the schedules from Joe Pietri, It grew lovely flowers with a nice amount of resin but only half the yield from the normal 12/12. The potency was about the same too. The only gain is less electricity consumption. I tried the 12/1 veg schedule which was so so also. Great character is Joe but tends to be on the negative spectrum....

Oh, OK. I didn't realize you could go that low. I assume growth slows dramatically though?
But the timer resets after power down according to the Q&A
I see you can time them individually too. So I guess you can turn one or 2 on and off early to simulate dawn and dusk??
Thanks for answering, well actually it was gonna be this year, (my growth) turns out I had to post pone it, due to some unpredicted issues in my new place, unless I go 12/12 at first and then 9/15 for the finishing, since I have a limited amount of time for every season that I might choose to grow at, given the fact that I'll have to be traveling else where once any one season is over, but the light has no 11/13 option from Amazon nor do other ones which of course I thought was dumb as hell. They could've added an 11 hour option, but didn't. Anyways my question was if it being a Sativa would have less issues with an eventually less light cycle because I no very well that indicas have that issue when you go that drastic, but this strain is something else from what I've read. Thought it might work. Also another thing is that one other site where I was gonna buy the nutrients for the cycle is closed down for my country for the time being, so I might have to look elsewhere, I hope that Ace doesn't. The nutrients can always be bought from somewhere else. Another thing about me is that I am a writer, and even though I have experience with some trippy sativa's I needed a much more psychedelic one, not only because that's what I enjoy but I need it for my artistic work as well! (And for pleasure) 😊 I used to live in California but eventually came back to my original country in Europe (won't say where it is to be discreet)

There's a lot of knowledgeable members in the ICMag community and they are generous with it. As @Cactus Squatter and @StickyBandit have suggested, you really should check out the threads on this site that discuss micro grows and LED lighting more generally. You'll find information you can trust along with lots of improvization and inventiveness from growers who don't have access to specialized LED light fixtures and tailor made nutrients.

Peace

29 days from flip and showing some early frost. She also never started alternating nodes. Double nodes all the wall up, any idea which side that's from or leans to?

I've found some new Led lights from Alchemia web if that's what it's called, the LEDs they have or one of them can be set to 11/13 and one of them has a timer. I just got news that I might be able to grow earlier in home but I'm still not sure, lot of complications here (long story) but as a first time I'll grow only one plant, there's time for more later on. They also have Killer a5 haze but I'm not sure if I should buy from them or directly from the Ace Seeds site. They write as if they work together, idk. They have fertilizers, equipment for neutralizing smell, carrying the bud in smell proof backpacks and even blowing in smoke odor free products. Perfect for me.

What would be the difference in the high if they're harvested later or earlier? What should I expect for an early harvest or a late harvest, if you had to compare?
Early=weak to super racey depending on strain and how early.
Late = sleepy to headaches depending on strain and how late.

You would be really well served to go heavily read and ask questions in one of the grow sections here on IC. Read everything you can related to proper feeding, watering and lighting. You’ll get a lot more answers and guidance with the higher visibility than you will here in the KA5H specific thread.

When would be the best time to harvest her to have her trippest, most energeric but yet least sleepy? Or when its best balanced. When the pistils are white, orange half and half? Ive heard that this strain is a little bit different in its time of harvesting, that later is better, Im not sure.

When it's mature. You'll know. I like to try and let all of the pistils turn and the calyx swell but some plants will keep popping new pistils here and there.

Don't harvest early the whole racy vs sleepy and harvest time is BS. While a early harvested plant may have more of a racy or energetic feeling it will be short lived, because it wasn't ready. Each plant will have some different effect. A long flowering sativa will generally have more of a energetic, up, trippy even high. Indicas and hybrids are generally more stony. Genetic make-up and individual phenos and your own personal cannabinoid system are going to determine how each plant effects you. Grow your plants to thier fullest potential.

I have hazes that are fully mature at 90 days that produce a energetic up strong and long lasting high.

I have some mendocino purple x purple urkle that literally puts me to sleep.

I have a hybrid mango haze x papaya that doesn't make me tired but it definitely makes me dopier and feel more impaired. Straight hybrid high, long lasting not sedative but makes you stupid.

So then your plant at 43 days would be way too early I gather from what you're saying. What if it's done at 66 days or something? If I go 11/13 after 15 day veg, and eventually go into 10/14, and or 9/15? Could I possibly harvest it after two months and something is up? Another question would not watering it the last one or two days be okay so that it's curing time is faster, despite the need of a slow cure? My first question is more important though. I don't think I personally will have the time to keep it going over 100 days or more. Not with the schedule I have anyway in the two seasons that I could possibly grow.

Only the plant can tell you when it is going to finish. Largely depending on genetics and pheno. Maybe you can know of a few days or something with shorter light cycles or lower temps but at some point you will start to effect your yeild. Getting your plant to trigger and start flowering while providing as much light as you can is what your going for. With shorter light periods your plant will not be feeding and/or photosynthesysing as much and yeild will suffer.

If you want a shorter flowering plant go with shorter flowering genetics. Multiple seeds/plants out of the same pack can have varying finish times. My advice would be to find a plant that you like and grow as best you can. Then you can play around with ways to get it to finish faster if that is what you want.

Spending a lot of time and money on subpar grows because you want flower a little bit faster will just lead to frustration.

No one was ever happy they had to pull a plant early, it may be a necessity for security or pest/mold or frost but I guarantee you anyone that has ever had to pull a plant early wishes they could have let it finish.

ive had more luck with 9+4
lights on 06:00-15:00 / 21:00-01:00
i use this to keep plants in veg , they wont grow as fast but more bushy
then when i put them in the flowerroom i give em 3 weeks of 18/6 and then flip to flower
3 weeks in i go to 10hours of light , 6 weeks i go to 8

Hi,

i chopped yesterday this KA5 at approximately 18 weeks of 11/13.
The smell is very rich and interesting, with spicy hashy and orange notes. The yield is very good.

i have issues with pictures downloadin, I will try to upload my pics soon
