I know this is two years old,...but I just read this,......and holy crap! This makes me never want to smoke weed again!

Pretty different from what I'm growing in. I'm much closer to the equator, different light cycle, high altitude, super hot days, very cool nights, ultra low humidity, super intense sun, huge temp swings. I'm dealing with elements that you aren't used to in Ontario. My problems could be stress...

When they went outside they were knee high, in 3 gallon smart pots. As soon as they adjusted to the intensity of natural sunlight I transplanted them to 15 gallon smart pots.

Nope,....it's still veg time in So Cal. When I grew from seed in the same location I won't typically see signs of flowering until early/mid August here.

Are you in Southern California by any chance?

Not to enter into a raging semantics debate,....but if it flowers automatically under 16-20 hours of light, it would be considered an "autoflower" by most growers that I know.

If you look at my opening post you will see that I have been changing what I have been doing every season (in terms of light cycle). I will continue to change what I am doing until I figure out what works, and why it is working. I'm simply looking for some solutions that might be a little...

Only an autoflower, or a severely stressed plant, will flower under 18-24 hours of light.

It's sad that that when you don't agree with someone's very unscientific opinion, others see it as "arguing". I simply do not think that the one idea about what is happening here is logical, or based on any actual science. As such I would simply like other opinions,....possibly from those that...

This year I had 6 completely different plants (6 different plants, 6 different strains) flower outside under a natural cycle of 14.5/9.5 sun/dark. So, unless there are other factors at play (i.e. temperatures, moisture imbalance, etc.), it would stand to reason that 14/10 indoors would have...

It's possible I don't understand what you are saying. I certainly feel like you don't understand what I am saying. Let me try to rephrase, as this is a bit complicated to explain. You have said that the drastic swing of reducing my light from 18 hours to 14.5 hours caused my plants to flower...

Yea,...I wish that was a possibility. But, there is no way for me to illuminate them at night. Regardless, thank you for the help.

And to be fair,...I don't think you understand what photoperiod strains are. A photoperiod strain needs a certain amount of darkness to flower. The amount of darkness it needs is not variable, it's genetically predetermined. You seem to think the amount of darkness needed to flower is...

No, man. Think about what you are saying: You are saying that if I give a plant a certain amount of vegetative light, that it may cause the plant to flower with less darkness than if I gave that same plant less vegetative light. Thereby, you are saying that you can directly alter a plant's...

All you've done is "make it simple". I would prefer you complicate it, and make it scientific. You are saying that you can alter a plants required flowering darkness, based on the amount of vegetative light you give it? You do realize that is what you are saying,....right?

That is something very unique to the mountains of Los Angeles. Daytime temps are crazy hot (typically high 90's and up),......but the nights can get very cool (sometimes in the 50's). So, my daytime/nighttime temperature swings are pretty drastic for So Cal outdoors. Could this be what's...

You seem to be confused about what exactly I am questioning about your comments. The phytochrome levels are clearly triggering flower with only 9.5 hours of darkness (I totally agree with that). But, how is that going to change just because I had the plants under 16 hours of veg light, as...

They flower under 12/12 because 12 hours of darkness IS enough to trigger flowering. However, the longest day of the year should not provide enough darkness for the same plant to flower. There is a specific amount of darkness needed, as you know. 12 hours meets that requirement. 14.5 hours...

LOL,....being that they are flowering immediately, I pretty much am unwillingly growing auto's (but without the crappy ruderalis added to the genetics). Please, explain the science to me. Why doesn't a clone flower with it is cut drastically from 24 hours of light to 16 hours? But a clone cut...

Please see my previous post for an accurate answer to this question. Thanks! Also, please don't get your feelings hurt, just because I want scientific explanation (as opposed to stoner speculation). There is nothing wrong with wanting to understand science.
