Badger goes camping with his buddies

turn them to 12/12 and move on your plants will be fine

the days get shorter outside in the fall :slight_smile:

most indicas I have grown will stay out of flower at 14/10 and i just revegged

some under 14 hours light and they were in heavy flower

as for more bud with 14 hours in flower give it a try and let us know

all the best and be safe

agreed - it may not be how you planned it, but its how it worked out. I attended a seminar with Ed Rosenthal years ago and he proposed that as soon as they develop their first sets of leaves to switch them in to flower - that you can get more yield from six 1 foot tall plants with a single cola than you can from one 6 foot tall plant - that’s when the Sea of Green became popular, and it is a method that has proven itself over and over again.

Why couldn’t I leave them at 14/10? They’re flowering under it.

may be a bit too long of a day for that strain/plant to flower well

unless an Auto than 20/4 suppose to work for those

they may flower, but if exposed to more than 12 hours of light per day up until harvest, proper bloom formation may not occur

The hormones ramp up as the daylight is shorter, you may never get them to ripen or it may take weeks longer than the reported flowering time for that strain. Remember, the hormones that get them to bloom in the first place develops in the dark period.

The shorter photoperiod signals the plant that “winter” is coming. However, at this point it becomes a tradeoff because the plant is getting less time to photosynthesize each day, and the buds are going to be smaller than if the plant was given longer periods of light. The plant will mature faster, which also reduces yield. For land races that come from near the equator (where it is normal to have 12 hour days/nights) a light period of 8/16 is sometimes needed to get the plant to flower properly.

@OleReynard did you see this in any of your blue kush? She will clone, and has grown OK, after she got a bit older, she just looks frazzled. All the rest look pretty normal.

Both clones

Weird. I’ll judge it based on the flower :wink:

Doing pretty good buddy. Woke up with a body ache thrusday, so i missed a couple days of work. I think I’ve been pushing myself way too hard and just got worn out. I’ve been out of work for months, so it makes sense. How about yourself?

Yeah no fun at all… shitty thing is that since those have been “fixed” it can cause others to blow out. Covid hit when I was gonna start the process with my lumbar. Just put that crap on hold. 20+ yrs in pain i can wait a few more months.

My dad just found out the doctors wont touch his back or neck. He cried when he saw the xrays. The things we do to provide for the family.
