I'm currently growing a plant indoors with sunshine and it goes in the dark room for under 11 hours per day, so over 13 hours of light and it remains in the flower mode.
The need to include a dark period in the grow regimen is more ceremonial and ritualistic for some. Others attribute human characteristics to Cannabis plants, and speak as if the plants have rights and emotions. Some folks are over zealous about the whole nature thing and they have all these dogmas from antiquity and Tips and tricks from Joe Grow down the street . They think man cannot improve or enhance nature.
Yes it's ridiculous...plants don't have emotions,they don't sleep...they aren't people.They are biological machines,nothing more,nothing less.And like machines they can be optimized and tuned for greater performance.If people want their machines to run on 7 cylinders...well then,I guess it's on them.
Thats not just in the growing community either. Labeling and marketing. ...people do weird shit with their wallet. Even when the truth is plain to see....people will give up that cash if you present something rite
shhhh let em learn thru trial and error lmao!
i plant my seeds in half cup of ocean forest,keep in 24 hr light,when i get to the third node,the cups go into 12/12 for 10 to 14 days and show sex,i dont waste time on males,unless i want to breed something special,once they show sex ,they go under 18/6 till flower time,by running 24 hr light schedule the plants are in a rush to get done ,thinking winter is near,promting hormones to act,so no its isnt wasted electricity and very effective for sexing
ok ,if i start my seeds in 24 hrs of light ,in solo cups half full of ocean forest,i bottom feed water only till they get third set of nodes,usally about 2 weeks,in 2 week time the roots are already at bottom of cup and stems begins to thicken,when the roots hit bottom they are just like kids and got the world in there hands and are fooled into thinking they growd,puberty like stage,flip into 12/12 light and bamm they are like wtf,hormones adjust to flower,they show sex and continue into flower,after sexing ,you are fucking with the hormones again by throwing them back to veg,veg them as long as you want and you should no how high you want them to grow and invision them growing twice as big in the flower room,me i usally go 6 weeks or 16inches max height and i flip them,works great give it a try and you will see what im talking about,i think the whole key behind this method is the half cup of ocean forest medium,ive done this in both soil and coco,yep ocean forest transplanted into coco and great runs. hope i explained that a little better,same concept go for breeding ,if you dust that female with the male ,takes no time for her to take and make you some fire,but you are still messing with the hormones ,just threw transaction of producing seeds with the energy going into making them,you can still get a buzz after harvesting beans,but the smoke is no were near the same value of the pheno as far as taste and buzz,if you dig me,all in all im jacking with the hormones to speed up the process of getting any males out of my veg room,unless it is a proper stud
Spot on, There are no such hormones, Too much bro science in the commun8ty.
ya okay keep that thought as i harvest 2 to your 1 just from sexing early,and culling males,dont have a clue to science,its a weed dude,tinker around with them for a bit longer and give me a holler back,you should at least try it before you make your decision,no science to soil and organics,you can feed anything just about,but we need all opinions to make things better,you got yours and me mine,if you read everything i wrote ,i just cant understand how you wouldnt think,there isnt a hormone balance,might just be saying it wrong,like i said no science in my closet just excitment,especially creating new strains,give it a try,then decide
well the half a solo cup of soil is the key i think,when i did what i said before,by the time sexing was done ,when i was transplanting there was hardly any soil at all left in the cup,it had grown such a huge root ball it was lifting it up to almost the top of cup,with that result it proved effective as far as not wasting time and electricity growing males,when i transplant males its because they just look like prime canadits,hey the males got to get some too in this game right. it was 2 weeks into veg when they went into flower and then back to veg10 days later ,they were on 3rd set leaves,and sexed,went 3 more weeks and they went into flower at 14 inches tall. before i would grow some awesome plants and flip the bitches to find boys in there too,so this way im not wasting time.
