Cool ... Ya no experimenting on priority stuff
Ya I see what your saying these are taking there time in the transition they rooted and reveged but still not kicked into gear like a vigorous veg phasehonestly, I needed this batch to take, and 18/6 works well for cloning for me. I'll have to experiment with the split schedule for cloning. I've not done blackout.
No problem and its evolving beautifully please feel free to ask any questions so far the changes I've made are flo's to interrupt the dark period instead of HID... Shooting for the moon cycle in veg and then ill experiment in flower I believe I have culled or weeded out my photoperiod hypersensitive hermies and when I'm sure of it putting them through the test in the diminishing light flower thread and I will apply the moon light in flower too as a surprise ;^} it's gonna be fun proving so many people right and so many others wrong! This plant is truly the amazing star of the show thanks to GOD alpha and Omega for the beans
Wow what kind of diminishing light schedule did you use?I harvested from this round, tons of wonderful, crystal covered fat buds. I'll post some finished product pics after this is more dry. I'll be continuing with this schedule!
Nah the flourescent morning and evening came from my primo who raises birds and the moonlight idea came from a great friend who raises reptiles im not sure he understands what im trying to do with plants but basically recreate a moon cycle even if it ends up being a green light or black light need to find out what the nocturnal lizard owners use my cousin has day dwellers anyway glad you enjoy the show and feel free to post up anything relative with a detail description if you dont mind people are just now that i have noticed started to share their results for these against the grain methods .....peacecaveman: is that your idea? I'll be following along to see how it comes out!
Thanx solidarity cool of you to stop by, get comfortable, and the slow vegg came from the cloning flowering plants the seeds in gas lantern veg schedule were and are vigorous and the clones are jamming now that they are revegging, ya i did have some herm on me but i found atleast eight pheno keepers with no nanners at all so im optimistic....im a big fan of this new style to me and will play around with it for awhile im starting to get excited about growing again....peace outhey man! great thread and super impressive cloning a few pages back. Just thought I'd chime in - I've heard of people doing "gas lantern" but apparently any on-the-fence hybrids or anything sativa/sativa dom has a tendency to herm in the 12/1 cycle. I've also heard that plants don't grow as fast and there is no stretch when you flip to flower, so vegging takes longer than normal, which can add back to whatever energy bill you were trying to save. Generally in the vegetative state light-hours really count for something in terms of photosynthesis. Once a plant gets into flower though, I don't think photosynthesis is as important as it was since the plant is focused on alot more than just cell division and growth. As long as they're getting light they should be fine, and as far as I've seen diminishing light schedules are the shit.
Wow what kind of diminishing light schedule did you use?
Here are some flowers about ready for smoke reports they will be in the Diminishing light flower schedule...

I tested this, and posted on another forum. My veg was dramatically slower, but they flowered a bit faster. Over all though it lost me about 3 weeks in total. 12-1 would be good for pure sativas that veg fast, and flower slow. Anything other than that though I would not suggest doing it.As far as the the 12 1 lighting shed. There is a guy at the shop who "claims " to be running this method. He says that he is getting identical if not better veg results. For me it always goes back to a " what if it doesn't work, and I waste a crop" thought. If it works, we should all be doing it.
