Hi,
I'm playing with increasing the dark period in my current grow. On day 41 of flowering I started to add 10 minutes each day to the 'on' time in my bloom closet and I did this for 9 days until I arrived at a 10.5/13.5 for week 8. I'm growing a classic indica, Mazar that has it's heritage from growing in Afghani mountainous terrain. Late in the Afghani grow season around Nov 10th days are at 10.5 hours long. By setting my timer for 10.5/13.5 I'm attempting to stress the girls into finishing up strong with more trichs.
I've had good results with using a 72 hour dark period at the end of my bloom with many strains. I've done comparisons of the same bud grown in the same setup with and without a dark period and the difference was slight but noticeable in trich production and also significantly added depth to the flavor.
So far everything's looking nice holding at 10.5/13.5 and two of the slower finishing plants really started putting on the trichs a few days after I started dialing back the light but it's hard to tell what's responsible as it is going on the 8th week. I'll have one plant ready for harvest on Wed after a week's flush and I'm going to let the other 3 go for another week or so...
Peace!:damnhippie:
