MK smells like lemons and skunk . BB heavy skunk smell. I get a headache if more than 10-15 mins in the grow. Studying drying and curing process all month. Still working out the stem snap or snap/break before jaring???? So many conflicting instructions....

I hear ya! Like the "flushing" argument... I didn't strip nutes. I just topped with PH'd water the last 5-7 days. She was drinking about 1/2 gal every other day and at around 800PPM when the light went off. We'll see how she goes. My gut feeling says to chop. Just hope I'm right.

Do u believe this to b true?....do u think bud left in dark proir to harvest is that much better?...I've researched it and contemplated doing it but I don't see how in an 8-10 week flowering cycle which is what it takes for most plants to mature and build up the necessary stuff to get u hi....I just don't see how 72 hours is gonna have that much effect....I haven't done it yet but I'm a very experienced smoker and I can't imagine any weed being 30% stronger than what my weed is now....ppl do it tho so must maybe something to it....idk

I do it because it can only help, and cannot hurt in any way.

Here is how we know it works. The best guess by scientists as to why the plant produces thc thrichomes is to use it as sunscreen to protect against UVB. The plant produces these hormones in the early hours right before sunrise, to protect the plant during the intense sunlight of the day. By extending that period, the plant should just continue on thinking the sun should come up any minute now, and continue pumping out thc.

The study I posted earlier from the Stitching Institute of Medical Marijuana does state "some varieties" saw an increase. Not all strains will continue producing thc during an extended dark period.

You can choose to believe in a study by a reputable source with verifiable results that were tested, or you can choose to disregard these result. It is up to you. Some people think the planet is only 6000 years old, even though there is plenty of facts disproving this.
 
can i have a link to study? is it increase in thc or other chemicals?

flushing is good practice. it clears out the soil nutes so the plant tastes better.

i meant how long did master kush take to flower how many weeks?

I saw 1st flowers 5-7 days into 12/12 light cycle for both under 400w HPS.

1) I appologise, I no longer have the link. From what I recall it is only a thc increase. The other chemicals occur when thc degrades due to UV. In a dark period no UV light, or any light for that matter, is present. So only fresh trichs are produced.

2) Are you aware that most all of these nutrients that you desire to "flush" out are immobile? You may clean out left over nutes in your media, but the nutrients in the plant only move in one direction; up. Nutes cannot defy gravity and cappilary action within the plant that forces things up into the plant, not down and back out of the roots. Nutrient deprivation is all that you do by "flushing". I just feed water the last couple weeks so the plant can use all the nutrients already stored within. You are not flushing anything out of the plant.

i do understand that. i said the guy should flush at least once. i flush like three times, and i water with straight water for the last couple of weeks as well. you can test if the soil nutes are out of the plant by breaking a branch and tasting it. if its sour or sweet, it need more flushing.
 
crap is a study done in holland where weed is legit? not saying it is but food for thought.
you believe pharmaceutical companies who do independent studies? i hope not.
show proof this guy/girl is trying to harvest months of hard work. opinions are crap.
proof is for real remember that. bmeat you need to pay close attention to these statements cause you could easily screw up a newbie trying to grow.
instead of spewing at the mouth close it and read more will get you further in life and growing. just my 2 cents take it or leave it.
as for mullisk great job hope i can say the same soon.
 
youre such an idiot. why is this forum full of so many idiots that truly dont know what theyre talking about?
 
hahahahhaha funny i get likes you get harassed?
i hate to single out people but when you spew opinions not facts your asking for it.
you may be the a booksmart dude but have no common sense or any smarts about living things.
1600 posts and not a single bud to show.
spread garbage to newbs this is what you get.
read more about botany not what you want to hear that is the problem with lots of americans.
listen to what they want to hear not facts.
i am done with you keep your opinions to you.

humans and plants share almost identical cell structure, besides the plant having a vacuole and cell membrane and chloroplast..cause it allows them to photosynthesize, which we dont have to do, cause we eat them to get energy.

Can see nothing for trich activity in those pics. Go for mostly cloudy, simple and potent.

No need for 24-72 hours of darkness, it does nothing.

Those are two fast flowering indicas so at 68 days from 12/12 the only reason they wouldn't be done is if you had poor lighting or other issues in flower.

As a first harvest you should be very happy.
 
i want to smoke be happy and be intellectual.
killing is for crazies i am just telling you what every one wants to.
chill have fun and forget your opinions.
like i said you may be smart just shush about things you have no idea about.
