I edited my previous post to indicate that the 2 days 12/12 is only for photoperiod plants. Probably while you were typing your reply.

ok lol that makes better sense…wasn’t gonna knock anyone methods, intentionally at least lol
But, even with the Photos, I veg mine a good long time to get better, mature plants in Budding. I never put them into bud mode before about 3 months minimum, usually longer.

I always like the way these far red lights look. They run for 15 minutes before lights on and 15 minutes after lights out.

Ive have been hearing alot of the far red. Heard it helps them go into sleep faster. How do you get the far red ? Separate lights ?

I use these. I have the far red hooked up to my Blufish controller so I can control the red and far red independently.

I was having some issues in veg with fungus gnats getting out of hand. I went ahead and ordered up some S.F. nematodes and applied them to all bodies of soil in my grow last night. I put out a fresh sticky traps and expect this should knock them down. I think this happened because I was over watering the autos. I’m pretty sure that is why they have been growing so slow.
I noticed the new growth looks a little yellow and dry. Honestly, they look pretty good in this picture, maybe I’m being paranoid after my HpLVd issues. I checked the moisture meters, and two were reading 40 millibar and one was reading 450+ millibar. The ideal range for flowering is 150-180 millibar. So I decided to pull the odd meter and soak it in water over night to re-calibrate it. I decided to turn my fan off for the night, and that made the temperature and CO2 to raise and the RH to drop. I’ve changed too many things at once to determine what did it. I turned up the lights, lowered the humidity setpoint, added CO2, added Blumats, and flipped to 12/12 all at once.
I went ahead and ordered a smaller 12" fan and hope that will help a bit. I originally got the bigger 16" because it did a figure 8, but that broke after the first round. Here you can see where I turned off the fan on my pulse monitor.
Free Seed Friday
The way this works is I will post up three packs of seeds. The first three people to comment “dibs” will win a pack. If you have won a pack in the previous four weeks, you are excluded from this giveaway.
This week up for grabs are three packs of Ghost Rose. These are feminized autoflowering plants that are a cross of Ghost Toof (Mephisto) and Sugar Black Rose (Delicious). DISCLAIMER These plants have been known to throw the odd male flower on the bottom nodes later in flower. They rarely amount to much, but occasionally a seed or two will be found. Be especially careful around other plants.

No, same size as last time. But so far they are stretching more.
That’s two. I chose the Ghost Rose as a Halloween vibe.
