Not a bad plan, its most effective during the bud development phase after stretch, before ripening. About weeks 3-7 of flower. Ill usually start dosing in stretch because it also helps develop more budsites despite the internodal growth.I'm not gonna use this during stretch lol. I think with a heavy indica a micro dose at 2 weeks then not again until after stretch.
Guess I could try a negative diff and dose it to combat the stretch a bit.Not a bad plan, its most effective during the bud development phase after stretch, before ripening.

Yup...6'2"Exactly how I managed it the second time I used it. Honestly the stretch isn't too crazy, but more than normal. Are you still height restricted?
dayammmm, guess there r alot of Onterrible ppl here...lmaoOnterrible... I was born in Etobicoke and raised in Mississauga until I was 10 before moving to NS.
I don't like to admit it though lol...
i c first true set of leaf...the 3rd one seems to catch up even though it was like a day or 2 bhind?Today's pic.
Because it's a stress response and given time to adapt to the stress its... well longer stressful
For you brother. Them sexy lil girls i made stretch with my poor decision to use massive micro dosed. The only ones not leaning from it.i c first true set of leaf...the 3rd one seems to catch up even though it was like a day or 2 bhind?
More food for thought on UBA UVB. I will also post the red for those interested.
Cannabinoids
Cannabinoids are synthesized in secretory cells inside glandular trichomes, which are highly concentrated in unfertilized female flowers before senescence (Potter, 2004, 2009). Shoyama et al. (2008) found that cell death was induced when cannabis leaves secrete cannabinoids from glandular trichomes into leaf tissue. Lydon et al. (1987) reported increased THC concentrations when cannabis plants were grown with supplemental UV-B radiation, suggesting that cannabinoids may play some role in UV protection. Limited published research exists on the role of cannabinoids in cannabis plants.
Flavonoids
Flavonoids are sensitive to light quality, and flavonoid concentrations in plants are higher when grown under UV, blue, and FR light treatment (Fu et al., 2016; Pedroso et al., 2017; Liu et al., 2018). The two-ring, 15-carbon, general structure of flavonoids makes this group structurally and functionally diverse. Flavonoids comprise many classes (flavonols, flavones, flavanones, anthocyanins, and isoflavonoids) that are defined by various accessory groups attached to the central 15-carbon skeleton (Iwashina, 2000). This allows for their important roles as pollinator and feeding attractants, oviposition stimulants, and feeding deterrents, as well as in plant disease resistance and managing light stress (Hamamura et al., 1962; Ingham, 1972; Arakawa et al., 1985; Noh and Spalding, 1998; Nishida, 2005; Goff and Klee, 2006). Optimal lighting systems for cannabis growth and production must include an optimal light spectrum for flavonoid production. UV, blue, and FR are beneficial wavelengths that should be given greater consideration.
See we dont need to and infact it would not be beneficial IMO. its no longer or at least less of a stress if the plant adapts during veg. Just my thinking
Yeah I see it like they are a puzzle and all must be incorporated to reap the full benefits from the geneticsBingo! I was thinking about this while taking a shower after reading this thread. The added spectrum actually functions like "added synthesis" capacity during a critical stage, for specific biochemical bonds, so it's essentially a tool box for manipulating cellular functions. MORE and BIGGER things are possible, depending on the strains that are likely used with this type of technique. It's really allowing the genetics to literally "shine though" so to speak.
Intensity is the biggest drop off for sure. We get down to like 15-20000 Lux outdoors here in October.
Yes and I think far red, with its demonstrated function with phytochrome at a minimum, could very well matter a lot. More of that trigger seems like it's at least a good candidate to mean something. And we see more of it in the tropics, where great pot grows. Which seems like it might mean something. Am I crazy?Bingo! I was thinking about this while taking a shower after reading this thread.

All I know is the flood gates of data are going to start pouring in. If you ask me the future is going to be synthetic cannabinoids.Yes and I think far red, with its demonstrated function with phytochrome at a minimum, could very well matter a lot.

Anyway I'm ordering another set of supplemental far red bars for my haze grow because it's a hypothesis with little downside and reasonable cost to play around with so why the hell not.
Not my future. Idk what people are doing out there but here on planet Milson we are gonna keep minding our own business and smoking the good good lol.All I know is the flood gates of data are going to start pouring in. If you ask me the future is going to be synthetic cannabinoids.
cuz they r the true north strong n free...LOL!!!!For you brother. Them sexy lil girls i made stretch with my poor decision to use massive micro dosed. The only ones not leaning from it.

I guess what we are really talking about is evoking the part of the genotype that responds to these environmental conditions as the organism grows, right? In other words, getting the phenotype with the full "benefits" of UV exposure.Always same results posted whether uvb run full cycle or last 2 weeks. For thc anyway. But if there are other processes like in your link then maybe they should be hardened off to it as a seedling?
I guess what we are really talking about is evoking the part of the genotype that responds to these environmental conditions as the organism grows, right? In other words, getting the phenotype with the full "benefits" of UV exposure.
To our eyes, these benefits are related to the consumption of the resin and flowers, right?
I am open to the hypothesis that the plant waits to make too many decisions about the environmental triggers affecting the phenotypical expression of anything related to that part of the plant before it has reached the level where it's done growing at a minimum. The environment at flower level would just be different at that point.
I am also open to the hypothesis that it makes a decision before that. I don't know for sure.
And idk if it getting caught off guard makes sense? To my eye, if it happened in nature that would mean that a branch or plant in the environment had been unexpectedly moved, letting the sun with its UV in. And so it would be likely to be an animal (bugs eating a leaf? Birds?). So throwing up max defenses even at their relatively high energy cost would make some selective pressure sense. Birds love pot seeds. But that's a total freaking high person shot in the dark. Not even a hypothesis. I'm just feeling around in that general area for any crumbs of coherence.
