Mitsu Strains and Experiments - 100w LED / 60x60cm

7th day of flowering

I just thought what it would be with doing shorter days of flowering? For example 10h light / 14h dark instead of 12/12... Could it speed up the flowering or will i just get less yield in the end?

 

[WIIIDZN]

Less yield for sure...

 

[revegeta666]

Less hours of light will both speed up the flowering and give less yield. It will also make your plants express differently than they would at 12/12. With indicas you can go the other way as well, most will flower at 13/11 and some even 14/10.
Some tropical sativas won't start flowering at 12/12 so you have to start them at 11/13 or even 10/14 for them to notice it's time to flower.

 

[Mitsuharu]

How many days you think i could speed up? Probably it's not worth the smaller yield so i think i keep with 12/12.

Bend all higher lady’s down. Or just crinkle them after you make massage where you want to crinkle

Maybe a week at most. I am not sure how much yield would be lost but I don't think it would be that much of a loss. I haven't done a side to side comparison.

@revegeta666
Ok, thanks again. 2 Unknown/ungrown ^^ strains so maybe i try 11/13 and see if i can get them ready till christmas...



@Calle Minogue
I already tied down the big head of the Malawi Sun 2 days ago, so they are all on line.

 

[Mitsuharu]

Spot the mistake!

That's the Malawi Sun Male, i kept him at the window after cutting his balls. ^^ Despite fresh soil, its appearance is still light green. The light at the window is probably no longer strong enough. He is now in the grow tent to flower again...

 

[WIIIDZN]

You really want to leave the male in the tent, or just until it blooms?

 

[Mitsuharu]

Yeah, only till he has balls, not until they're opening. I just want to pollinate some branches and will do that outside the tent in another room.

9th day of flowering

Today i cutted the lowest 4 branches of all 4 plants, they are stretching like crazy, don't want so much popcorn buds...

They all look similar like this, yeah i underestimated 2 ungrown strains... should have used smaller pots.




CHEERS... with some energy drink. ^^ Yeah i just love to photograph everything.

Now the Malawi Sun aka 'Crazy Hydra' got another head who is thinking that sky is the limit. ^^ So i released the old tied head and tied this new head down to the middle of the plant(to also save some space for the other 3 plants).


Ex Hydra-Head

New Hydra-Head

As you can see, i could have easily filled the whole room with this plant... Totally not expected such thing by crossing a 30cm Autoflower Cola Plant with my Orange Bud Skunk Genetics, i think i can call this the Malawi Pheno for sure. I regret using a big 10L pot. At least she is flowering in time like the other 3 of the Unknown Strain.

@Mitsuharu , Looking good mate!

It's going to be very crowded in there soon.

I know you love to take pictures; What do you you, a camera or your phone?

 

[Mitsuharu]

@Hombre del mont
Hola my friend and thanks.

It's already very crowded! ^^
But i like my little jungle.

I got a Samsung Note 10+ and Note 9 Smartphone, these two are my cameras, mostly using the Note 10+ for the indoor photos.

Maybe you're doing something wrong....

 

[revegeta666]

Maybe you're doing something wrong....

It's just the difference in heterosis from a polyhybrid vs inbred line of pure indica.

The physiological vigor of an organism as manifested in its rapidity of growth, its height and general robustness, is positively correlated with the degree of dissimilarity in the gametes by whose union the organism was formed … The more numerous the differences between the uniting gametes — at least within certain limits — the greater on the whole is the amount of stimulation … These differences need not be Mendelian in their inheritance … To avoid the implication that all the genotypic differences which stimulate cell-division, growth and other physiological activities of an organism are Mendelian in their inheritance and also to gain brevity of expression I suggest … that the word 'heterosis' be adopted.

But yes my mom is taking care of them because we are away. She has done it before so she's not a total noob. Yesterday on the phone she was telling me "these plants don't grow" haha oh well

It was just a joke, I don't even know what kind of setup or plants you have. I love small plants.
