hell ya man, will do!!!!! i'm actually in the 8th week of flowering gonna switch it up to 11h next week for final week!! can't wait!

About that light cycle. I was reading that people had great success going, 12/12 the first third, 13/11 the second third, than 10/14 the last third of flowering. I'm probably not going to try that this round but I did plant on switching down to 11/13 or even 10/14 the last few weeks.

I like to stick with 11/13 though mate as I now always have different strains in different weeks/stages of flower at a time so I like to keep it goin staedy instead of changing round the timers every week here .

i'm def down, very interesting, most all my friends just leave 12/12.. i'm excited to try, happy easter!

That does make sense. So do you think that light cycle makes the buds bigger or does it just help increase the thc production? I've tried finding more info on this and have been able to find very little.

IMO it helps to increase the thc production a little more, I used to use a reg 12/12 light cycle with a grow tent and didn't notice the production really that much untill the later stages, unlike now where I'm seein it early in around week 2-3. I don't think there are many people trying this method really either tbh, so I can't say for sure if it's making any major difference for 100% certain, it's just my therory/thinkin I'm putting to the test but my results so far have been good. We'll see at what exact day this time though with my newer crop as I'll be keeping a closer eye on as to when thc starts to show this time. And I will be sure to update you on my progress.

what's up SkunkMunkie.. i have a question.. My plants have been on 12/12 for the last 25 days, would it shock them if i change it to 11/13? and another question if u feel like it won't shock them what time should i leave the same? for example my schedule is really 12pm lights come on 12am lights go off.. should i leave it as 12pm light come on and at 11pm lights go off or the other way around?

fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you.... i'm out!! lol, one of my favorite movies!!

man i hope not bro, they should be fine. my plants are in the middle of the 8th week of flowering and i just swithced them to 11/13.. (the lights were on from 8pm-8am, now i just changed it to 9pm-8am, they're on the first day of 11h now... we'll see!!!) i have faith, they're almost done, and i have read of some people adjusting the hours later on in budding to shorter light.. def interesting?.. i'm always down to try something twice, my ladies only have about 1 - 1 1/2 weeks left i'd say..

good luck -peace

It shouldn't stress them out any and have the lights go off an hour early .

Thanks Guys... so skunk which strain is the closest to the "Holy Grail" so far?

 

[Truth B Known]

hmm, u say have them go off an hour early, dammit, lol, i had them come on an hour late.. oh well, i'm sure they'll be fine.. cause now that i think of it the sun rises earlier in the spring right?

That was my thinking when I did mine

So far it's got to be the Tahoe OGK I've got thats my fav (so far), but who knows I may have my next #1 in now . I only just decided to start on this strain hunt "quest" in the last year since I got online and was able to get my own seeds instead of just growing whatever clones I could manage to get locally, so I'm sure my fav's list will grow in time. I've got some really interesting strains in my seed stock still to get started with. Gonna also be startin off some more seeds again soon.

Day #4 of flower and x1 SHJ as shown his balls!!, I quickly pulled him out and replaced him with the last best lookin SHJ still in veg, the other 3 more mutated lookin ones have also now been binned off too as I didn't really like the look of them. (see pic below)

^^ x4 SHJ, "back left/right" - "right" has been put into flower, others have been binned now. Indica at the front with red tag in pot is my Bubba Love still in veg.

Day #5 of flower and 2 more have also now shown male pre-flowers ~ x1 SHJ and x1 GS-OG have been binned. And straight in to replace them I've now put in 2 more GS-OG from my veg closet (see pic below), I've chosen to put the 2 more stretchy phenos in as they were outgrowing the others I have in there, the stretch on them in veg is crazy, I'm gonna LST these 2 now for sure, as I'm guessing they'll go much taller yet . So thats 3 males total (so far!!) but the good news is 1 GS-OG is showing pistells, so thats one for sure female at least.

^^ 2 placed back right are the 2 more stretchy phenos I've put into flower now.

I guess one mans connoisseur is another mans run of the mill.
Beautiful plants though.

Well that's a pretty douche thing to say. Troll on troll, troll on...

Looking good SkunkMunk my man. My SHJ are still smaller than my GS-OG and Deadhead but are starting to branch nicely. What was wrong with the "mutated" looking ones? Were they polyploidal (with 3+ branches per node)? Every plant I've had with more than 2 has turned out male...a couple I've bred with. I'll get some pics up in my thread for you in the next day or so.

Thanx Jerry Not that I can remember really now mate but I think it was 2 per node, they just looked really scrubby and a 'lil stressed out compared to the rest, I'll attach a pic. They were not worth me bothering flowering with tbh, so I've binned 'em off now in favour of starting some new seeds off, I've also got some Jack Hammer F2 & Killing Fields F3 beans on way from Sannies shop that I've just ordered and bought today!! So I'm eager to get started with some others now .

Day #6 and another male has now shown (GS-OG), and it has been binned and replaced with another GS-OG from my veg closet. Here's how my veg area is lookin now...

^^^ Veg Closet 27/04 ~ from left to right, x1 Bubba Love, x2 Tahoe OGK re-veg cuts, x2 Grape Stomper OG.

Looking a bit empty in here now so I've set off some more beans for germination today. I have chosen to crack a pack of SnowDawg2 ~ from AlphaKronik, see attached pic's for a look at my germ method. First I mix 2ml of Vitalink Bio link plus (+) to 10L of tap water - ph-5.8 for soaking the seeds, then I put the 10 seeds in to my scuff box and shake gently for about a minute to scarify the shells. the seeds are then spread out onto a paper towel which is on a plate, towel is then folded in half and seeds are now soaked with the water I've mixed, excess water is then drained off and another plate is placed over the top to make a seal and give total darkness. The plates are now just left in a corner of my grow space awaiting germination. Over the next week I'll keep the towels damp untill the seeds crack, we'll see how long they take usually I start to see tap roots within 2 days.

^^ Tahoe OGK, re-veg cuts ^^^

In the pic's above are my 2 Tahoe OGK re-veg cuts for mother plants, for future clone stock. They are now fully rooted and starting to grow/veg again, now 3 weeks old!! They were originally taken from the mother who was just starting into week #3 of flower.

 

[Truth B Known]

hell ya man.. that dude beanlys a bitch, your shit looks dope yo.. where are the alphakronic seeds from (cali, canada, spain?)

pics above? dont see those tahoes in the pics

and if they showed sex in flower would it be to late to take a clone of the plant? in other words when is it to late to take a clone from a flowering plant and expect to root succesfully?
