What happened with the AC?
What happened with the AC?Haha.. true that. I think there would be a bit more stretch with the extra hour of rest. Maybe that would minimize the stretch in flower.. hmmmI’ll run 17/7 in the veg tent once these beans pop.
I figured it out. My dumb ass was running a faulty extension cord which was causing resistance. This was causing my breaker to pop. Moved ac and plugged directly into outlet. Hasn’t popped in 4 days and room is pretty dialed in thus far.What happened with the AC?

Side note: check this out. Have you heard if this.Cause it's just the way Ive always done things ok!!? Stop asking questions!
Have you heard of gaslighting or 6/2 method? Lots of interesting ways to light the plants. I'm curious too about the 17/7, Power savings is good.
It's a cool concept.. but I'd need more on/off thingys for my timer lol.Side note: check this out. Have you heard if this.
ALTERNATIVE: 6-2?
Currently trending is the new 6-2 alternative vegetative growth lighting schedule. Three of these light-dark cycles per 24-hour period means the cannabis plant receives the same total 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness as a conventional 18-6. Moreover, this is a viable option as photoperiod cannabis needs a continuous 12 hours of darkness to bloom. The thinking being, those brief 2-hour intervals of darkness give the plant a chance to rest and process CO₂ more effectively. Also, 6-2 avoids light saturation and is potentially a more effective light-dark cycle for photosynthesis.
6 on 2 off 6 on 2 off 6 on 2 off. = 18/6
I think we are trying to create ideal conditions. If I want to mimic natural conditions I would dim my lights every other day for cloudy, water completely irregularly, and bring in a whole bunch of bugs from outside...nah.Think that's taking it a bit to far,we are trying to mimic natural conditions . 76

6/2 might be strange and new and not "right " but especially in this day and age let's keep minds open to new ideas
Key word in your comment is “trying.” I’m not one to pawn ideas off on another but I’ll try everything at least once.Think that's taking it a bit to far,we are trying to mimic natural conditions . 76
Great reply.I think we are trying to create ideal conditions. If I want to mimic natural conditions I would dim my lights every other day for cloudy, water completely irregularly, and bring in a whole bunch of bugs from outside...nah.

Burnz it is all part of the learning process. Next time you will look at things differently.I figured it out. My dumb ass was running a faulty extension cord which was causing resistance. This was causing my breaker to pop. Moved ac and plugged directly into outlet. Hasn’t popped in 4 days and room is pretty dialed in thus far.

8000btu. I believe it was 14 gauge. Definitely felt the extension cord heating up. I bypassed any cord and went straight to the controller. Everything is gravy now.How big is the AC? Mine draws a ton of power, I had to use 12 guage romex wire to make an extension cord for it. A regular off the shelf 14-16 guage extension cord isnt big enough for the power draw on an AC without giving tons of resistance and overheating.
Just the base???My plants also have dirt around the base of the plant.
Haa
Actually all over the roots and inside the pot.Just the base???

I wonder if you did your last watering 1 clock-hour later than you currently do if this would stop?This is the natural cycle...nothing wrong with them. Here is a time-lapse of a week in veg....every day they go through that cycle.

Have you done a comparison of doing a 24 dark period before flip versus a 15/9 for a couple days before flippin?By running 15/9 a couple days before flip decreases the time to start bud set and the plants don't seem to slow down.
