I'd have to disagree with Jimbob. Your not going to gain much weight in the last couple weeks. Cutting the light cycle down to 10-8 hours on, does make the plant think that winter is coming, so they need to hurry up and catch some pollen so they can reproduce and continue on in their life cycle. The cutting down of the light really increases trichome production and it mimics mother natures... which every grower is ultimately trying to do.
As for not watering your plants.. thats a cool little trick if your trying to fast dry your buds. But if your looking for better smell, better flavor and a smoother smoke, then dry those puppies as slow as possible.
But this is just my opinion. Curious to see more peoples input on this one. Or maybe Im the only one who cuts the light cycle down. I also switch to metal halide... I drop the temps and RH... and I cut the light cycle down within the last 2-3 weeks of flowering.
I have to disagree,i believe it depends on the strain.Strains like og kush pack on there weight in the last few weeks so cutting the light would actually hurt you not help you
ok, ive been carrying around this schedule in my pocket for a week i got from a guy who studied tulips in holland saying that u can basically finish in 2/3 normal time. idk, still processing on it.
veg:
12 on
3.5 off
1 on
5.5 off
flwr:
1-14: 11 on, 13 off
15-28: 10.5 on, 13.5 off
29-42: 10 on, 14 off
43-56: 9.5 on, 14.5 off
thoughts?
I agree. Depends on the strain..... AND when you harvest. If you harvest late, going for more of that body effect, then it wont make too much of a difference. If you harvest at peak and the strain packs on weight late in the cycle, then you'll lose out on weight.
Everyone around where Im from seems to like the stuff thats gonna put you to bed. So I usually harvest a little late (depending on the strain) and by that time, the weights already been put on, so cutting down the light cycle doesnt hurt my weight much at all. But it sure does make them a hell of a lot frostier.
I've cut the lights down for my last 4 grows now and my buds are packed with resin. Much more then what they were when kept at 12/12. People are scared to do this, because they dont want to lose any weight. Im pulling about a P and a half per light.. so its not hurting me too bad and Im getting frostier buds.
No doubting you at all bro, but you have any pre-harvest pics or nug shots you could put up? TIA
why hasent anyone told dude that those plants have more than 2.5 weeks left ? still alot of white hairs didnt see any red hairs
looks like you got at least 3.5 to 4 weeks left just because the
strain is listed at 8 weeks they usualy go for 10 weeks so make sure
you get the right amount of time in the will increase yeald better than 11/13 :hi
I first herd mr Rosnethaw talk about this he said
it will make your plants mature faster but at a yeald sacrifice
He has about 4 different strains in there. I see some red hairs on the plant to the right.
oh ok didnt see the one on the right but it could go 3 weeks from looks hard to say from picHe has about 4 different strains in there. I see some red hairs on the plant to the right.
