And it worked great! Backing off the nutes has allowed the plant to stretch out a bit and that will definitely help increase your yields! Bravo! Great work!!!

I think im deciding to flip in 5 days time… the first part of my journey has been amazing with everyone who has helped… ups downs whatever it all came out great in the end for my first little grow!

2 out of 4 clones have rooted im epxecting the other 2 to root aswell!!

Here she is Day 65… the wide loader SHAMAN!

Any tips for my start of flower would be appreciated… do i give it 24 hours of darkness??
whats a good schedule 7am to 7pm lights off?

Thanks

No, don’t do that. That will just stress out the plant.

Whatever works with your schedule. I like to the lights in the evening when rates are cheaper and it’s cooler outside. 10am-10pm lights out works well with my schedule. :+1::seedling:

I run my flower lights similar to @ReikoX but from 7pm - 6am (11/13), which is just a shortened period of my 4pm-8am veg light period. The main reason for me is that with my work schedule, this means I can get into the tent to water or whatever soon after the lights come on.

Probably every indoor grower on OG has a slightly different light schedule. The best light indoor schedule, though, is whatever works best for you.

yeah il probably run 7am to 7pm lights on as i can control the room with my Aircon if it gets a little warm through summer… now I need to open one of the little windows on the tent at all times as the extractor will be running all the time preety much… so i will build a little blocker just on the outside of the window ( maybe some black plastic sheeting with another opening so no light can enter straight in during lights off…

there is also a tiny tiny amber light on my extension cable that is inside the tent I have masked it up with tape… even pitch black it may just show a tiny tiny hint of dark amber hardly anything at all… should i be concerned? if so il just have to route the plugs outside the tent

Sounds like nothing a little bit of gaffers or electrical tape wouldn’t solve without rerouting everything.

Looking good! I start with an 11 hours Light/13 hours dark schedule and decrease my daylight 15 minutes each week for four weeks so that the plants complete their flowering under a 10/14 light schedule. Most strains seem to take 10 weeks to fully finish, including many that claim finish at and look good enough to cut down at 8 weeks, and many take even longer to finish. This schedule seems to me to result in a better, tastier and terpier, final product. As a bonus, it saves a little electricity.
