THE marijuana GROWER'S GUIDE
by Mel Frank and Ed Rosenthal


"Heritage sets the genetic program, but the environment can influence how the program runs. (Sexualexpression in Cannabis is delicately balanced between the two.) The photoperiod, for example, controls the plant's sequence of development. Also, the plant's metabolism and life processes are dependent on growingconditions. When the environment does not allow a balance to be maintained, the normal genetic program may not be followed. This is mirrored by abnormal growth or sexual expression."

"Abnormal sexual expression includes a whole range of possibilities. Individual flowers may form abnormally, and may contain varying degrees of both male and female flower parts."

The above was taken from your post (@RM3).


Dependent upon genetics, others stressors, and the severity of the light leak, the leak can "confuse" the plant (in regards to the photoperiod). The plant recognizes light and dark. Part of the plant feels that it is time to sleep, another part of the plant wants to continue photosynthesis. Additionally, this can trigger modification of PIF7, as the plant may believe that it is indeed "daylight", but that it is being blocked by another plant or other obstruction. This results in unnecessary production of auxins. At that point, the plant is now using energy to elongate stems and leaves in an effort to "chase" the light (to beat it's competitor, or "overshadow" the obstruction).

We don't want the plant to produce abnormal sexual expressions, nor do we want want it to frivolously exhaust energy on unnecessary stem and leaf development. In an effort to mitigate these, periods of light and dark are best kept "distinct" and "uniform".




On topic, I'm sure that there are.

It's like any topic, there will always be folks that disagree and there will always be folks that cling to false beliefs. Tis simply the way things are

Folks are curious bout why my garden doesn't stink, but when I start explainin, they argue, go figure?

I've been around the block a few times but this Vietnamese grower blew my mind when I learned what his lighting angle was. He flowers 12 hrs hps, 12 hrs floresents. Never a dark period ever. Vegged w floro durning me dark period also.
4 plants per 1000, 2-2.5lb.
Still scratch my head when I think of his reign.

Did the 24 hour blue light experiment years ago, didn't notice enough benefit to keep doin it

I get the same yields w 1/2 his veg time but 2x the plant count. But yearly I take the cake w 7-8 weeks flowering.
Don't get me wrong I love big monster plants also, just seems like more work in the take down process and all those leaves. My girls trim 4-6 lbs in 6 hrs days. They almost make more than I do

My attitude about the lack of smell in your garden is that if the end product does the job (and well, I might add!) then who cares whether they smell while they're growing?

Had a Jabberwocky run thru my setup recently; the veg didn't smell, the bloom didn't smell, it smelled like grass during the chop, trim and hang phase- and only got a mild smell at full cure.

...and it's fuckin fire! Couple hits of it and there's no doubt you're high asf!

Go figure!

IMO lack of smell is strain and grow dependent, if you grow some stanky skunk or like chemmy stanky plant its gonna reek, but like grow northern lights and its hardly smelly at all if any just smells like a plant, you also might be used to it , when I have people come by my house they say they smell it in my driveway but I can't smell a thing.
