my attempt at a grow journal. seems to be flowering quicker than it should for this strain. but then again this is just my first grow so i'm no expert.

i believe so, mine is going much faster than expected. i'm in about day 20 of flowering and it looks like its been going for a month (comparing other pictures i have seen on here). mine is supposed to be a long flowering strain as well at aroujnd 85-90 days. this is because it is mainly a sativa plant.

Good to see it working out for you.

The method has been proven to work & is factual information. I have some links from ICMAG where a couple growers tried it & have gotten great success.

Yes growth will still be faster however yield will not be the same without the co2

The yield will probably be the same with 12/12, dont quote me on that though. I have to go back & read the initial facts. I havent been on RIU in weeks but you should read it from the beginning along with the associated links. This process is much faster than traditional 12/12.

my environment isn't CO2 enriched and it seems to be doing ok. my buds arent that big but i also am flowering with an MH lamp which supposedly reduces potential bud size but makes them frostier. here are a few pics on what they are like now. pics arent great as they are just taken with a camera phone.

Your looking good over there.
This looks like an interesting lighting schedule. I wonder how this type of timing would work in a system using the Al B. Fuct methodolgy ( Get a harvest every two weeks)? I think you would have to adjust the time each plant spends at each tray. If you could be harvesting 16 days earlier, i guess that would shortening each time in each tray by 4 days. I think that works out too a harvest every 10 days? NO WAY , but what if.... I've got to give this a try.

ive heard about shorting the flower times by an hour or so to gain some time, but this makes no sense dropping that hour off lowers flower sites alot. so this is hard to make sense of, i wouldnt try it. Wouldnt everyone b doing this instead of buying top of the lines nuets and addatives to get free larger yeilds? id stay away from this idea, far away!

Might be very complex using Al B's method. It could be a lot to keep up with.
