The reason for the increment increase is to prevent stress.
From what I've read they don't respond well to sudden light changes. I suppose you could do a sudden light flip without problems. I just wanted them to grow as comfortable as I could. Lol

I know people that do that with cannabis also more natural really.

Its because I grew it indoors. They're normally almost the size of chicken eggs. They are hi- light plants so when you grow them indoors you need real intense lighting. I'm running two 600 watt hps/mh. Ballasts and are not quite strong enough to produce the size of being grown outdoors.

its an interesting thread.ve never heard of people growing them indoors before. (its really easy to just jump a farm fence/gate and take as many as you want- funnily enough noone really bothers....)
They are grown everywhere here, seems every 3rd farm crops them.

What do you do with them if you dont lance them? Make tea? Or a dip for MJ flowers? How many do u need to grow for a decent yeild?

I make tea or laudnum .
The reason I don't lance is because they're in my yard and I don't want anyone to see lance marks on the pods.
I use tea once in a a blue moon so maybe 50 to 100 pods is what I might get out of the beds to last me through the fall and winter .
I'll freeze them till I need them.
4 to 8 pods depending on the plant and size of the pods is usually around one dose for me ( one cup of tea).

I'm having problems with mine. They are taking forever to grow. I'm using super soil. I had them in my veg room until yesterday, but had to kick them outside. It's warm here so I'm assuming they will be okay. They just don't seem to be growing very much and they are over a month old. The largest is about the size of a quarter. What am I doing wrong?

Seedlings start out slow sometime. They'll take off soon. Make sure your soil is fast draining and doesn't hold water to long. Seedlings like moisture but to much water will slow them down.. When they get to the cabbage stage hold up on water till they look like they need it.
I have some that are doing the same thing. If they are green and healthy I wouldn't worry..
I hope this helps. Can you post some pic?

I will try to post pics tomorrow. They are miserable little devils, but seem like they will make it.

Many factors come into play like temps lights and so on u do not need intense light to grow them just the right cycle I get tennis size ball pods under a 180 w led it all comes down to temps and light times and ferts

You almost need freezing temps or at least below 20 c
