we told him he was being stupid. the reason why he dident just shut the lights off is because it was an outside grow. thanks super2200 for such a quick and full answer i definitely wasent going to try it i just wanted to see what some people that had a lil more experience thought of it. the only trick im gunna try is some of this stuff called humboldts own nutrients look it up some time and tell me what u think.
Hmmm...I guess in a way I can follow the odd train of logic he used...it sounds like he was trying to initiate flower early in an outside grow, when the sun itself was giving more than 12/12.
Not sure why he'd use plastic bags, since light can get through them...but heat/humidity are likely to be trapped inside.
It also seems a bit strange to put them over the buds, as opposed to the whole plant, if simulating darkness was the intent...because the leaves would still be getting light.
I suppose using some kind of box or a trashcan that allowed for ventilation might actually work to do something like that.
Generally the idea behind outdoor grows is that you either don't care if they are found and you want big big trees and might as well use all of the veg time nature gives you...or you are going guerrilla and in that case you don't want to have to be out there 2 times a day covering and uncovering...that's just asking to get caught.
::shrug:: Either way...smack your friend and take away his smoking privileges until he quits doing silly things.
