so im currently in week 2 of flowering. due to high costs of electricity, i was wanting to change my light cycle from 6pm-6am to 9pm-9am, would this be a bad idea if i just made sure the light was off until 9pm and then change the timer? i understand messing with the light cycle can fuck it up, but i just might wait until after harvest.
I've had to do that before and it didnt seem to stress it. Just shut your lights off at 6am and turn on at 9pm. Just make sure it gets the extra 3 hours in the dark

I just chopped 40 plants a week and a half ago (netted 22.5 zips dry) and it looks like I'll have to do it again in in another 10 to 14 days.:wall:...it's getting to be like a fulltime job, but the benefits are great:bigjoint::bigjoint::bigjoint:here is my updated pics of my perpetual grow for this week. Also thru in a pic of the maternity ward w/ moms and newborns (clones)

While I was taking these pics this morning I found those f*****g :finger: spider mites are back again. Man, once you get them, you never get rid of them little sap sucking bastards.....you can only get them under control to a point. Since I run a tight spaced SOG of 80 plants in each 3 x 8 table.... organic insecticides and oil base sprays and pyreth foggers won't penetrate my jungle I guess I order up some lady bugs again. I used them last year and had pretty good luck with them. Gonna get the qt bag of 9000 ladybugs. Overkill for a 12 x 12 room but they are about 50 bucks with overnight air.

I had my flower room set up on 12/12 from noon to midnight and had to reverse it to come on at midnight and off at noon last year. I just let them stay dark for 24 hours and reset my timers. No stress associated problems. And I have 160 plants in there. Not a single hermie and yield was not affected. So I'm pretty sure you will be ok.

I found my first ladybug the other day. Went straight into the flower room

Check out Haydukes Seldom seen garden. He had a good remedy for getting rid of SpidMites with CO2.

My ebb and flo SOG tables are 3' x 8' and hold 80 plants. I harvest 1/2 of a table (40 plants) every 14 to 18 days. My last harvest netted me 22.5 ozs (dry weight) from 1/2 of the table (3' x 4'= 12 sq. ft.) and I have 3 x 600w digital ballast over each table (overkill I know) Hope this answers your question my brother

Thanks for da rep doc. I'd love to shut it down and cleanse the room top to bottom but it would set me back 2 months to get back in full swing again. I'll just deal with it with the ladybugs and get them under control again like I did last year.

Been eyeballin' a grow tent to use as a mother keeper for a couple of weeks and I finally ordered it. My four foot, four tube t-5 will fit in there perfectly.

http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=53389

For starters I'll use it as a germination/clone tent until I find a mother I want to keep. I have an arjan's haze clone going and a clone from the clone started. I still have weeks to go until my current crop is finished. Hopefully I can have these two plants trained enough when my current crop finishes to try a scrog grow with them. I'm going to use ten gallon grow bags, roll then down so they are only about six inches tall but have a really large horizontal area to stretch their roots out. Supposedly the shallow depth compared to the broad horizontal area they are supposed to bush out instead of up, we'll see.

Getting close to a smoke report from my partner's harvest, hopefully saturday I'll be able to post one.

ok i took soe more pics today while giving my big girl her last does of nutes before the flush. trichs are all cloudy with a few clear and no amber. i want to let her go longer than this but she is takin lot s of room my other plants need. more pics are in my journal i will post a few here and another vidoe i did in better light.

also do certain strains have differnet bud beveolpment, like one strain will have alot of pistils and other will have only few pistils. my shishkaberry looks differnt to me.

i still might let the plant go longer but my plan is to flush in a few days and then once the soil drys out to harvest, but i guess well see i am very indisisive. well heres the pics and a video more in journal
