Grow #3: 5 Different Strains 4 Autos 1 Pheno

[Krissi Carbone]

Lorax has been in the dark for 18 hours. She will be trimmed up tomorrow.

Just sneaking a peak in real quick.....she is frosting up fast with only 6 extra hours of dark on her....she's quite pleasantly plump I might add...definitely beefed up some in the last 2 weeks!

Both colas:

I'm glad I took this one in. I didn't know what I could do for her at first, she had been pretty neglected.

Do you leave yours in 48 hrs darkness before you cut down??

I haven't until now but you can sure as hell bet I will be moving forward. I was skeptical at first, figured I'd give it a whirl....

 

[Jack420]

Never done the 48 hr thing

@Krissi1982 - would the 48 hour dark prior to chop do the same for an auto do you think?

Me either Jack...

Well, that has been debatable. Although autos don't need darkness to trigger anything, I am now thinking that maybe they would benefit from a period of dark before harvest. From my understanding resin building doesn't discriminate between autos and photos in terms of it increasing production during a dark time. I myself run 24-0 so I wouldn't know. There have been articles that would support this theory, showing that a 20-4 schedule actually increases yield and quality.

Kewl - thanks (as always!) for the reply. I was considering running 24-0 on my double grape, but still on the fence with 20-4. Decisions decisions!

I like my 24-0 but then again I didn't believe in the dark theory either

Oh yea, my ivy is going through a growth spurt after a little .5 ml dose of Prescription Blend. Also had to move my little bamboo from its propagation vase after .2ml cause the roots went crazy...
