I have never seen a plant not alternate nodes when mature. I can peak through. Very interesting.

I have established clones from my Colombian. Will do some experiments with 10-14 coming soonThere's a bunch in my pics. Not sure how to repost from my phone. But I can assure you they are opposite.
Have pics of the clones? Are thise nodes alternating? On second look it looks like they are slightly alternatingI have established clones from my Colombian. Will do some experiments with 10-14 coming soon
I mean its pretty well established that plants will not flower until mature.I think it was in an article I read from DJ Short where he talked about different light cycles being a key success factor -- however he didn't spill the beans on his light schedule.
I've read several sources that mention shortening the light cycle to speed up long-flowering sativas (e.g. 13-11) ... I also think there would be some logic in slowly decreasing the length of lights-on to simulate the shortening of days that plants experience in nature...
My assumption is that this is strain/pheno dependent and that it would take a lot of research and data to draw any conclusions...
I've also always wondered what would happen if you decided to shorten the entire cycle - e.g. 10/10 ? would a cutting finish in less "cycles" in 10/10 than in 12/12? Or could you increase yield on a short flowering indica by doing a 14/14 schedule?
My hybrids do that when grown 12-12 from seed or flipped very early. My colombians are going on 6 weeks 12-12.some branches are alternate but no sigh of sex yetI have never seen a plant not alternate nodes when mature. I can peak through. Very interesting.
Not sure on the clones. The are just now starting to grow. I'll look tonight.Have pics of the clones? Are thise nodes alternating? On second look it looks like they are slightly alternating
Ok I found out why and it makes perfect sense... its the morphology of the plant due to the lighting. You are basically by reducing the light period reducing its growth so its not so much they are not alternating its that they are being stunted in a sense.My hybrids do that when grown 12-12 from seed or flipped very early.

Still reading into this so take that reply with a grain of salt.... I should say I think I know why...
Isn't there a light that's automated to follow daily sunrise and sunset at any given GPS coordinate in the world?If not, let's get on that. Probably entry level programming at best.
I think @Moe.Red is doing this already through his computer in his thcv search.
Thats what i like about you aquaman and always have is you go deep into the problem. Dont just take it all at face value.Yeah everything im reading confirms alternating nodes is a sign of maturity that is long known and accepted.
But because you are under 12/12 to start as soon as the plant matures and this is hormonal controlled I believe gibberellin as copied below.
flower induction is mainly governed by age-dependent and gibberellin pathways.
With 12/12 Its immediate onset of flower upon maturity you are flowering before the nodes start to visibly show as alternating.
