Hey dude, it looks like you might have some bananas on the plants in the first and third pictures. You should pluck those out. Having little baby seeds in your bud sucks real bad.

You wasted 5 days of bulking up doing that.Please - tell me where in the world that is replicating? Not telling you not to do it. I'm telling others to not do it.
Probably. But, I have done 2 side by sides now where 2/8 of the plants went straight from veg to 12/12 and the rest had a dark period. On both occasions , On day 30 of flower the 6/8 looked far ahead of the 2/8 in bud maturation. I cannot tell you how they finished as I only have room for 6 and I went with the best 6. Just saying.

Not saying it doesn't do something to the plant - like I said just advising someone growing their first plant to not even waste the time or space trying to find out. KISS.

im not even sure what you were talking about I am very tired I did put some dinafem ww in the dark for 3 days cus dinafem advised to
3 is better than 5 but I still see no point. Maybe gain 3 days in finishing flowering? I would have to see more side-by-side results to even consider doing it.

Fortunately or unfortunately my mentor has never touched a computer but has been growing for almost 30 years. He provided my original cookbook and even with the darkness his method produced just fine. Sure I have been tweaking it but...

I hear you. My first indoor grow setup I bought from an ad in High Times in 1980 or so. Promised you a complete indoor hydro unit. I was in Colorado so winter was lost otherwise. $400.00. Got me a HUGE HPS street light. Literally. The reflector was one like you see on parking lots. Magnetic ballast weighed a ton. Hotter than the hubs of hell. A huge kitty litter type tray, some lava, a pump. some ebb and flood fittings (not good stuff either but cobbled) and some nutrients. 1000-watt. The truck stop next door's lights dimmed when I flipped it on. Never thought once about the light. I taught advanced first aid to all the cops and firemen there and one called immediately. calling "Hey Slim! You got a fire upstairs at your place? Shore is bright up thar ya better let me come check it!"

No internet. 600 people in town so the mailman knew I got High Times. Had to adapt from years of growing outdoors to indoors. What a trip.

Good luck on your grow Madagascar. I had 6 plants in a dyi flood 'n drain table in a 2x4 ft tent with a 400w hps( 50w per sq ft). I had to scrog because of height at 19 days into flower, 40 days growth total. I worried about hermie because of the stress but no problems. The harvest was around 8 oz (1 oz per sq ft) which was normal for my grows. The quality was also good and I even had hard green nugs growing under the upper nugs that got little light. It was an interesting grow but trimming time was terrible.

This is what the net looked like at around 45 days, 10 days from harvest. I would do it again if needed but since then I changed to a cap system that allows for more height.
I had to 'High" stress train a grow once at 3 weeks flower by turning it into a scrog. Trimming was terrible but I still got a lot of stash.



The rest of the grow was documented here.
