hey can someone explain..ok
soo i just went and took a look at her (my plant) and examined her carefully. it seems like the very tips of the white hairs..are turning brownish...or probably getting burnt..this is my first plant and first female..so i couldn't diagnose anything.
and its soo small...my camera wont pick it up...but i can see it.
thanks
(maybe heat.. 35+)

dude if ya looked at the post the whole main concept turns into him trying to flower early....

like i said a dark room or a shade box....

you dont have to move a shade box..... also you wnt it to mature faster more dark... this will effect the end product drastically but if you just want to brown the hairs more dark will generally do it.

i really dont recommend this. plants need light..

But to actually start the flowering process if complete darkness for 12hours needed with 12hours light? Or can kinda of shady with slight light also work?

Say put it under a roof where the sun gets in for only 12hours and then as the sun moves the plant becomes covered with shade etc. which means you would not need to move the plants in and out everyday.

yea exactly what jester said...remember almost all the outdoor growing use the sun because they dont want to spend money reproducing what they can get for free...am i right?..so you have to sacrifice a couple of things in order to get what you want...In this case for me and you, sleep. Also, a huge factor is patients (i think i spelled the wrong one,but meh)...they more you want, the more you be soaring..

on the other side of the leaf....(pun intended :D)....i will start to take some pics of these hairs...
i dont even think its close to done because its been like 19 days of flowering..
thanks for the info

technically yes,
see if let's say, you had a sun-room. and you had direct sunlight..you should have a certain time each day the amount of sunlight it get everyday is constant. If not, work around it...i.e...move the plants around the room..house untill it get 12 hrs a day...then you can chuck it in a closet (like me) or as jester88 suggested, a shade box...

Jester88 and I went threw this WHOLE process in my thread....:weed:
but then came out on top with his help

I don't think were on the same level. I am wanting to know if it would still flower without fully pitch black darkness?

I understand the whole 12/12 thing but I am wanting to know would really shady but not pitch black darkness count as the 12 dark hours.

well if ya look at the concept all a shade box really does is lower the amount of light given to the plant making it bud...... you only put the shadebox on when you want to finish veg.... like i said it wont work always but it will work....


its a good thing to do if you grow indoor/outdoor and the plant gets stuck in limbo..

meaning it really for making plants that are stuck beetween veg/flower itll make them stay in flower....

i wason the same page as you bro :)
i was only trying to put forward the concept to ya :)

I may have to build a shade box.

Days starting to get shorter so I reckon ima only have to put up with moving or whatever for about a month then it days should be the right length...

Would you still need to move the shade box off the plant during the day and back on when you want it to think its dark?

just leave it on the whole day.... but i spose you could moderate but just leave it on all day...

itle be getting the same hours of light (like u wanted (but a way lesser quality)


remember this doesnt allways work...

but its really good for keeping a plant flowering when it wants to revert back to veg mainly

It would be getting more hours of light then 12/12 because it would be in the sun the whole time but it would be getting worse quality light but would still be getting over 12!

So I don't see how this would work.

just seen this post sorry... u snuck that in there pretty quick ehy lol..



ummm no need just build a fram to go around it & allow for growth more growth, the plant will still get bigger.....


the shape or desighn as such is up to u.... but as long as light loss is sufficient :) ... meaning the shadecloth or wjatever blocks enough light it should work..
