Anyone broke an ankle before done mine over the weekend out of action for few weeks so have to wind down until then I've taken cuttings of plants to make them easier to manage ... how'd you manage smoking for the pain and discomfort ... been smoking sherbiker and it isn't as anxiety inducing as other weed it's nice for pain relief

I'm sorry to hear that bud, I've never broken one before (touching wood) I've twisted it one up pretty badly, running at full stride my foot caught the edge of a brick.
I know it's a painful i injury, i hope you're back in your feet soon :-)

Never broken one myself, landed full body weight on a ledge on my shin a year ago and thought I had, couldn't walk for 6 weeks....
Dodgy rugby tackle called a " hip drag " put a spanner in the works for a lot of things first few months of the year gta put stuff on hold now .. lucky I've got a big stash to get thru from the end of the year ... just gta sit back and wait now for this boot to come off my leg

@conor c @coreywebster you might remember the post we briefly spoke about light hours?

The bones of this is along the lines of the plant stays in the intermediary period longer, allegedly less light creates a stronger flowering response.

You know it doesn't take long to find someone is more talk than experience, I don't sense that with this dude.
It's worth a listen.

Id like to see his pictures right throughout the grow. The 10on, 14off will cause a stronger flowring response and quicker. Problem is it also finishes the flower faster resulting in lower yields. If those pictures are all in the same week eg week 3-4 its obvious that the 10hr on one will look like bigger buds. The test would be regardles of finish time at the end what has more bud. Ive experminet over decades with light hours so i know most of this through first hand experience. It also makes a diffrence how much sativa is in the plant or indica. I flower indicas on 13on or 13.5 on and get slightly biger yields but it takes afew days longer. I flower sativas on 10 on as it ramps up the flowering respose and causes less reflowering/reveg type growth and finshes them slightly faster. With some heavy pure indicas ive even flowered on 14 on. The extra light hours absorbed always equates to slightly more yield. You have to find the flowering hormone balance that ups the hormone enough to trigger flowering and get max yield vs keeping the flowering hormone low enough to veg, its diffrent on diffrent types deppending on were on the planet the genetics have devoloped originaly and how much indica or sativa they have. You could flower on 6hrs on if you want and in 2 weeks you will have way biger buds on the plant compared to the same clone on 12/12 in week 2. The 6hr on cutting will probably finish in 5 weeks (depending on strain) but the yield will be low as is will go into ripening quick time thinking its going to die real quick. In that picture above you can see how the plant is finishing stretch quicker so its smaller and ripening quicker so ther is less time to for more bud growth. You can see from his pictures how that exactly works each hour light lost.

I'm about an hour in.. there's some great stuff been touched on in this video.

One thing specifically is the mention of carbohydrates on the perception of finish bud taste ..

That's something I've often thought , especially a few years ago when everyone was talking about growing high brix plants..
I mean we all know what happens to sugars when they're burned.

Yeah something to be said about high brix i reckon you might be onto something with the tie in between carbs and finished quality product most organic boosts like say top max for example are just molasses based of some sort after all

Its a long shot but is there any phone aficionados here?

Youtube used to keep playing on my home screen when I used the < arrow.

Thank bud it's certainly possible I'll check that out,
tbh idk what I've done.
I think youtube have just updated over the last 3-4 days so some setting might be altered. Go to that little symbol in the top right hand corner when watching youtube its like a cog. It should take you to some setting were you can keep the vids playing on a mini screen wen doing stuff i think. So if the above suggestion dont work that Raswr suggested you can try looking looking through the google youtube settings.

@conor c I got some interesting freebies from seed heaven made using that ugorg skunk.
They might mean something to you mate?

I also got another called kotten's kush that isn't on that page, 5 regular seeds 4x strains.

If anyone does make an order you need to add them to your basket yourself it's not a sales tactic thing.
