I want to talk about why we put our girls in the dark before we put them in flower.
First of all, they have genetic programing in their DNA, just like we do.
When we put them in the dark, it wakes up those genetic time locks. By the end of the first 12 hours they are realizing something up, there is no sun.
The darkness wakes them up to the fact that the days are getting longer and that means winter is coming. With winter comes death.
At that point the plant's genetic make up sends a message to start flowering and to put out seeds so the species will survive. We have set the stage for them to have a growth spurt called the stretch. After the stretch, they then start growing buds, the bigger and stickier they are better. It's all about hopefully grabbing some male pollen with their big buds and producing seeds to continue the species. It's this drive for life, that we the growers love.
We do all we can to protect our girls from this pollen, so we can reap the really big buds for our own.
