Outdoor again for me this year, going with some powerflower clones and a few bag seeds. The powerflower was proberly some of the best cron ive smoked, a real rushey head stone followed by serious mongedness lol

I would like to see how your early skunk turnes out, i have yet to find a plant that can overcome the irish weather.

weeds in my garden and grass have a hard time living in this weather never mind anything else, id just wait it out for a while. im sure things will pick up a bit soon.
as for lighting schedule i always put mine on 18/6 to give them some sleep, they do grow when asleep aswell and just look healthier. a few of the plants when i was on 24/0 did not like light round the clock and i was getting a lot of leaf twisting and they didnt seem to grow any quicker. cheaper on the leccy aswell, if your not gonna be around stick them on a timer, very cheap.

no when i switched mine down from 24/0 to 18/6 they were fine, but i would not give just 2 hours dark, put them on 20/4. its a happy medium that a few people are doing. get some pics of the grow up fella.

jay do u have yours on 20/4 or 18/6? just wondering what eveyone is doing, i know if you have problems with cold then you may leave them on 24/7 but what you can do then is have the night during the day jingle
jack good luck with the yield fella, i still have a few weeks to go with a bunch of mine, had probs getting light down to the roots and a few of the leaves and lower branches were falling off, ie ruled out ph imbalance /mag shortage and lack of pota so id say its just the light shortage, quite dark in bottom of tent. ill be sticking in a long fluro tonight just to keep them happy, theyre worse than women!

I read that plants produce carbs during the day and then use them w/stored nutes the most at night, thats why they need a dark cycle. I also saw a thread that gave actual numbers and apparently 20/4 was the best light cycle by far, I think by 12%.

EDIT: And at 24/0 the yield was only 67% of what it was when compared to the 20/4 grown plants...just something to consider.

very interesting harrekin, i thought they needed some sleep alright, will try the 20/4 on the next grow alright, although at the minute its probably more like 19/5 mine are getting so not far off.

chin what do you think of the air pots, been looking at them. do you think they make much of a difference, the thing i like about them is they would prevent things such as waterlogging soil. how much did you pay for them and where from.
thanks
