Hi to all!
Some disappointing news from my awnings … I have heard or not, as of now, about 40% of the state’s energy system has been destroyed in Ukraine (regular rockets and drones from October 10, almost every day). In connection with what in my region there are shutdown of electricity.
It started with shutdowns four hours a day and at a certain time, so at first it was not a problem, I simply re -aligned timers and of course, as a conscious user, changed lamps and LED panel to a smaller powerful. However, the shutdowns now take place four hours three times a day, sometimes even four, moreover, some shutdowns occur on a schedule, and some emergency at any time. Therefore, in the last two weeks, a day in the tents has not shone light for 12 hours continuously. It is no less important that there is no light but also hood and blow!
As a result, a mold has begun to appear in the Field Trip and Face Off X 818 (this is not surprisingly, 0.8 meters square three pots of moist soil with a total volume of almost 120 liters + evaporation of the plants themselves). In principle, it is not scary, the loss of part of the crop of course is upset but is not something terrible or critical. I am more disturbed by another tent in which there is a jogging for nuts. Boy Cherry Queen almost no pollen! Initially, the flowers were almost unveiled and disappeared, and now they open but do not contain pollen. On some plants, I see a very fruiting number of ovary, on others I do not see at all … Given that usually after 30 days 12/12 I already remove the boy from the tent, now judging by the number of dusty clones is still ahead! For additional pollination, I also collect the baked flowers, dry them and rub them on a sieve over the clones, it makes sense because I see the result. The absence of pollen is associated with insufficient light during the day.
There are also good news, they are also! Under such conditions, the plant is tested for stability and absence of Hermi signs. Earlier, when I made nuts especially feminized, for the search for XX plants, I tuned the timer for 10 days on the schedule in which the light was switched on 30 minutes several times during the night (I did not remember the finished schedule) it acted without fail. Plants that lived in me for years and never showed Hermi signs after passing this test could throw bananas. Some successfully passed the test and received the right to further pass their genes to the next generation.
So returning to the topic, it is safe to say that my plants are now forced to pass this light stress test for two weeks.

On this basis, we are looking for a positive and moving on!
Later, long photos from both tents, now they have another night!
