Very nice. Good solid organic regiment. That dosido from stardust looks killer. I have his sherbert cut.
I feel like you're close to me. Maybe I will see you at an event one day.
You're not getting me. It is nothing todo with hormonal/phytochrome response of the sunset/sunrise. Dimming how he is doing allows the photosystems(for photosynthesis) of the plants to warm up to their full rate of photosynthesis. As where hitting them 100% from the get go can cause slight delay/inhibition, which lowers the rate of photosynthesis going on in the first ~hour and lowering photosynthesis overall. So in turn, decreasing power to start with, is increasing photosynthesis , both in the beginning while dimmed, and overall. The exact opposite that one time you did it.
@salmonetin Nothing here is automated. Just the choice the grower is making when he is in his room and using normal POT dimmer.
I do get it. It was more than 1 time. I did the exact same thing. Not the opposite. The opposite would be dimming in mid day. What I did was 1st time just dimming at end of day. 2nd timed dimmed when lights came on and dimmed at end. Even tried dimming at just the end of flower too. Nothing improved.
Again all it did was make plants finished sooner and yield smaller.
That was with 1000 watts. Se
If dimming to work like outside. Where the sun is shining on different parts of the plant through out the day. Then you would need to run the long 14 hour days and need that phytochromw response. So the plant gets the requires amount of light it needs.
On paper it seems logical. But in reality plants are just getting less light and in turn finishing sooner and yielding less.
Mj is a very adaptive plant. So once it's used to a certain schedule. The photosynthesis response has adapted as well.
You know I experiment probably more than anyone with various methods, schedules, lighting, nutes, pot sizes, etc....
