My 8hr flowering experiment

It's a pain in the ass and long process, yet another reason to see if the clones will actually grow. Interesting that they rooted yet took forever to actually grow anything. I think it is strain or pheno specific. No different than cloning, I have some from the cloner to party cups in 8 days, some take 20. The PITA with either re-veg plants or cutting flowering clones is that stage where they go back to normal growth can vary...by weeks!
I only do the flowering clones with extreme phenos I don't want to lose and s*it happened during the normal cloning process. If it's only taking the space of a party cup I don't care how long it takes. But taking up valuable real estate in a pot, it would have to be my most prized male or something, just not worth the space otherwise, I can get a new seed going faster!

What?
I'm not sure what ur asking about so I can't help.
24hr veg works.
But so does 20/4, 18/16, 17/7, 16/8, 15/9 or 6/2x3,5/3x3
Or 12:1
Good luck with whatever u choose.

Things turned out dank and delicious!
The "technique" works enough to supply myself with meds.
Unfortunately I can't offer a direct yield lost per hour but I can say that strain dependant I am still able to get an oz per gal for the most part.
Hoping to have some much more detailed info one day but I'm working on it.
I try to recommend that people curious about trying alternate cycles ease into it and I'm confident that even going to 11/13 or 10/14 could save you a couple bucks, shave a few days off of harvest time and not effect potentcy one bit.
As always ymmv but more n more people are having good results.
Thanks for the info. I'll definitely try it out.

I'm inclined to believe your first hand experience over what some 30 year old book says.
If your potency was cut by half I'm pretty damn sure you'd have noticed by now!

it's the most ridiculous debate
How people can be so close minded that they can admit to not trying something yet argue with someone that not only tried it but actually still does it?
Stupidity imo
And that's the head mod
And I suppose that the other dozen people that have reduced their hours wouldn't notice a 50% potency reduction?
Where are the negative posts?

All dropping down to 11.5/12.5 from 12.5/11.5 has produced for me has been stinkier, faster finishing, more potent plants not less. The referenced study produced 30+ years ago may have very well been valid, using 30+ old technology and genetics. Things have changed a little in that timeframe.it's the most ridiculous debate

Anything will root in your garden - lol What got me thinking was the original Fireballs clones didn't take well so I cut them at 6 weeks, prior to that the most I'd taken was around week 4 and worked fine. Cut 3 and all rooted quick, still vegging the one I planted but it has new growth so expect it to do just fine. I think I have room in there to throw some 8 week harvested BR's in just to test, I have the clones but just want to establish how long they'll take to be ready. For me it's just about space, any gains are welcome!

yea, if I remember correctly. my patience gave out quickly waiting for that clone to re veg. That and the lack of space thing also

Thanks tty but that kind of stupidity is why this site is slowing down so much.
Who's gonna stick around and argue all the time about something as silly as that?
See the thing that saves u from a pile of weak 50% thc meds is that u didn't cross over the magic 10 hour line.
So even 10.5 is ok it's when u go over 10 that all rational thinking goes out the window and the weed becomes useless.
Recommendations on other forums??? Serious question.
Thanks

Your tolerance must be lowering as you smoke more of the low THC stuff, that has to be the explanation. It's the only thing that makes sense why you would still get high off what you're growing

No sir I'm a total newbieYour tolerance must be lowering as you smoke more of the low THC stuff, that has to be the explanation. It's the only thing that makes sense why you would still get high off what you're growing
My virginity grew back too
Everytime is like the first time all over again.
Everyone I know is lucky that I don't use 12/12 or they would all be put into smoke comas and never come out of it.
