Cold down here, starting to not need it now, was more for overnight temp drops, was told I shouldn't let it go under 16 degrees Celsius, which is still possible, maybe even tonight , even though it's 2 days into summer
Thanks Bill, appreciate your inputHey @nedesnik hope your having a good day.
When you turn you timer on your lights to 12/12 that starts them flowering.
This is when you aren't supposed to interrupt their sleep.
When you turn off your lights your ladies start producing a chemical that tells them fall is coming I better produce buds.
It takes 12 hrs to build enough of this chemical to make them flower.
When you interrupt the production by letting light hit her she reverts back to veg mode.
Seeing as you said your girls are only 6" tall still in veg interrupting their sleep won't effect them at all.
You can give them 24 hr light if you want but most go 18/6 in veg.
When you do finally flip to flower you require absolute darkness for 12 hrs.
Having a light beside them might not be perfect.
Throw a smoke detector in there Amigo.
Stay safe.
Bill
No truer words, I guess someone was smart enough to figure more was better.
Trees are for this purpose
hence spending time with my girls, talking to them, breathing on them, every grow I've ever done
The last thing you want to do is is bag it (open invitation to mold), you can't really "starve" a plant of Oxygen. Oxygen is a waste product that the plant gives off during photosynthesis. I cannot see what good that would do. CO2 does have some uses, but mostly in very tightly controlled commercial grows, you need high temps, high levels of light, and a nearly airtight environment. For most private grows it's not worth the time, trouble, and potential danger. While Co2, in and of itself, is not harmful in low concentrations, it will displace O2, leaving you nothing to breathe.
The clawing is not from water issues, it's from too much N. The drooping leaves are a water issue.
Thanks man, was just about to look into the clawing, is it a matter of adding more P K ? I've never had a nitrogen issue during veg before, but that's outdoors...
More likely to block out all light. I'm pretty sure the plant creates enough oxygen to be fine inside a bag for a couple days, assuming it isn't mangled or tied up tightly.
The potential for mold is important point to consider before trying something like putting the plant in a plastic bag for a few days. Plus it is harder to control the temperatures inside a plastic bag.
The stuff is pretty important to most life on this planet.
The issue is that the plants (even bagged) don't put out enough Co2 to get the the PPM up to where they need to be to affect plant growth, plus Co2 only works when a STRONG light source is actively on the plants, so bagging does no good, except as light deprivation. I didn't mean to say the O2 is waste, but it is a waste product of the plant (which is good for us). Just a little aside, most O2 on earth does not come from terrestial plants, when a plant (or tree) dies, the process of decomposition uses almost as much O2 and the plant ever produced. The lions share of breathable O2 comes from algae and diatoms in the open ocean, they release O2 during their lifetime, and when they die, they sink into the deep ocean where lack of O2 and cold temps keep aerobic decomposition from happening, the diatoms, which have a silica skeleton, eventually pile up on the ocean floor and under their own pressure they will eventually will become diatomaceous earth (or chalk). This has been your one minute O2 lesson for the day! (LOL)The potential for mold is important point to consider before trying something like putting the plant in a plastic bag for a few days.

I don't know that I would call oxygen a 'waste product'.
Photosynthesis is taking place during the day and part of the process is producing oxygen which the plant releases. At night there is no photosynthesis taking place without a strong light source. Result is that most plants will take in oxygen and release the CO2. There are several plants, including popular house plants, which produce oxygen day and night but I have not come across anything that says Cannabis is one of them.
Phyto...where do you and how long has it taken you, to aquire all the information you have? A wealth of information, always
That's so awesome!!! What a history, I'm jealous I wasn't born til the 80s and missed all of this. Congratulations on your degrees as well, it is very apparent you know what you are talking about every time I catch you in conversation
