Is there a way to stimulate your plants to show sex earlier or sooner?
Alright if I do go 12/12 right now how long you thinking to show sex since if I veg for an extra 2 weeks they would probably show sex as well bottom line is ether way quicker or no?
Ok so 10/14 would be a better light ratio than 12/12 ?
It shows flowers quicker in my opinion. It's what I run now. Everyone has a preference and a scientific theory to back it up... Check out some of the science behind the "why" and make you're own decision I guess. Anything under 12hrs of light works though.
How do you run your veg light schedule? And do you go from that right to 10-14?
Normally I run 18/6 until the switch. I'm experimenting this grow so I'll see if there's any difference (6/2). Normal flowering is 10/14 for me. If I have sativas that go past 10 weeks, I drop it down to 8 hrs to finish them quicker.
I have researched the light schedule. Your the first I've ran into that uses 10- 14. I want to give it a try. Thanks.
I find it to be a happy medium to 12/12 and 8/16.
12/12 seems to take too long to start and finish flowering and 8/16 seems like not enough time to fatten up. Haven't tried a straight 8/16, that's just how it seems to me.[/QUOTE
I'm going to try it this grow. Faster harvest with no loss on weight sounds awesome. I like to hear from someone who has experience with things like this. You can't believe all of what you read on the web.
It's not always a faster harvest... They seem to run truer to the flowering times posted on seedbank websites in my experience. I've had strains that were supposed to be done in 8-9 weeks. Sometimes they would run a week or 2 longer under 12/12.
Under 10/14, the damn blueberry is done in 8 weeks. None of this waiting an extra week and shit haha.
That's what happend with me. They all were two weeks longer than the seedbank stated. That's why I like the idea of 10-14. Someone has got to fight back. Lol
