Flowering a month from seeds popped

Everyone i talk to says, it resets their biological clock supposedly, and help them know that its flower time and might 2-3 days flowering time so why not try it.







Why are you turning your lights off for 36 hours? That doesn't do any good for the plants. Just flip them to 12/12 and be done with it.

So 36 hours later, i just turned the lights on,

From now i will be doing 12/12

On at 2pm and off at 2am.

So i think they stretched little bit, and the new growth was lighter green compare to all the fan leaves and older growth.

Most of the ladies are 8-10in due to me doing lst, if i didnt do lst they wouldve been well over 16-18inch,

So roughly 40 day vegg or 5 week vegg.

Going to flower them for 68 days or less,

Will be installing FarRed led puck by Rapid led, Its support to help them sleep faster and will shave of 5-10 days. Its called Emerson effect.

Lets see how it goes

There is a lot of misinformation about the emerson effect. You don't just use far red for a few minutes before sleep. You use it the whole time the light cycle is active, and it has to be the right combination of 2 different red spectrums. And it doesn't speed up your harvest, it just increases photosynthesis, so it would be more like using a fertilizer giving a bit more added growth energy to the plant.

Ohh okay, so should i keep it on the whole time?

Personally I don't think you should use it at all. It's just a gimmick by rapid led to make money. It needs to be 2 different specific wavelengths of light, one red and one far red. Either one by themselves don't have this affect. That puck seems to only have one spectrum from the description so it is missing at least one of the crucial wavelengths. And they don't tell you which wavelength it is using so it may not even be one of the correct ones. The other big thing is the power, at 7W it's not going to produce enough light to make any difference anyway.

Ahhhhh

That makes sense,
I shouldve discussed with you guys,

I feel stupid now, since i already spend $70 im gonna put it up and will sell it to someone after this grow.

I know you guys will yell at me,

But as today was the first day for 12/12, the plants were reallllly busht to a point even if i had to water i had to move some leafs to let the water in,

So I decided to defoliate some fan leafs,

Well as i was doing it i did realize what i was taking off, but i took off most of the fan leafs, i know i prolly did more damage then benefit them, but here is a before and after picture.

So day after 36 hours, last night was first night with 12/12

I think plants are looking very happy!!!
In my opinion

Fed them last week, gave them plain ph water with slf100 and mammoth p 2 days ago,

Will be watering them tomorrow plain again to bring the ppm down a bit so they can suck the nutrients that are already there in the pots for them.

image.png Hey flowerman, I flipped to 12/12 on Friday 24th at midnight. We're pretty close to the same schedule, it should be cool comparing how our grows proceed.

Wait until you see the flowers starting to form. That is when the real patience kicks in. Waiting for them to fatten up and get huge... Then having to wait for them to ripen when they smell so good every time you open the tent...

Ohh lordd. Well my other tent is 21 days into flower so atleast this one will be ready before this batch
