finishing flower with the spiderfarmer sf4000 gdp grow

[Left]

This is madness. I have never heard of this before it sounds like a cool trick. The only concern I would have is potential re-veg but if you stopped it quick enough I guess it could be avoided. I actually do the exact opposite when I harvest. Sometimes on the last day or 2 before harvest I will unplug the light and go full lights out. total darkness before the chop.

Was thinking of lights out but has any one doe a side by side test to see if there is any difference in thc and cnd cbn content

well you should see the purple traits starting to show themselves now. If this was an outdoor grow Im sure it would be more predominate you need strong temperature fluctuations the chilly nights and hot days really get them going. Indoors in a tent they don't temperature flux quite as much.

Yeah that is actually a very nice night temp very mild and healthy for the plant however likely not low enough to bring strong colors out. Don't worry you can do the ice trick a bit later. Its too early for that. Right now I would just focus on giving them healthy doses of bloom feed this is the time they are gonna start to pack on weight. For your flush week you can use ice instead of water. You put a big pile of ice in each pot before lights out. It chills the roots hopefully we will see a color change response. Purple is really cool but it is kind of novelty it doesn't make the weed any better. It is beautiful. However IMO the strongest strains are never purple. This isn't badmouthing GDP its amazing I love and appreciate all forms of cannabis Im just saying that I looked up the research and the highest THC strains are rarely purple.

when i first started smoking one thing i was told is name is just a name if its good pot it's good you call anything any name .i always smoked regular and mid grade weed always heard about Acapulco gold and and weeds that's purple i think it would be cool for me to see once in my life lol i did take some pics and im probably wrong but it does look like there's a darker color under the trichs

They are all looking beautiful! Your right on track I think the SpiderFarmer light bumped up your intensity the plants are responding well. They definitely are fattening up since the last post this is the time that they pack on the most weight. Its go time! I love it man cant wait to see the next post

On the change in light cycle back to 18hrs. I contemplated it and did some research.

Don't do it even if you don't see reveg. The plants shift to vegetative growth and thus leads to a complete stall, stunting and production of terpenes, cannabinoids etc. from almost everything I have found on it.

Yes but it takes more than just a week to revert back and with a lower intensity on the longer hours for 7 days it won't be in veg before harvest???? I'm not the grower you are but it came to me from a reliable source and smoked some of his stuff....If I can get close to that I'll be happy....at times my sht is still homegrown.....getting better but still I end up smoking some nasty weed lol.....Too old to give a shit....should be an acronym there . lol...its.late....T.O.T.G.A.S.......

Hey, this is a Gorilla that showed good colour

Yeah good job you let the plant tell you if it needs water. If the soil is still wet from the last watering just let it be
