She's looking ready for flower, she may actually behave for you.

I don't want her to behave lol im ready to pull her around and let her go but she doesn't act like shes going to do that I guess will see!

 

[Pennywise]

She'll stretch I'm sure!

That top branch might just run for the roses on ya. I think malawi is good for a 2x stretch. Good looker!

I say let her go Keltic!

 

[Morglie]

She looks like a 'killer' pheno. She's probably going to stretch for the ceiling.

that's good I hope it goes crazy ill get more lol!

The sativas are stretching and looking Ok. Need a bit of a defoliation I think. Couple branches have been pollinated to make some seeds for the future.

Pretty excited for this round.

Fantastic garden UA

that's good I hope it goes crazy ill get more lol!

I like that plan

 

[ilikemsticky]

nice ua very pretty bud!

@kelticBlue will see what happens!

 

[Tony Urban]

Thanks folks. Couldn't have done it without 420 mag. From the sativa seeds to the sativa grow tips. This thread. I would have killed them by now on my own.

PURPLE HAZE x MALAWI on the right, GUAWI on the left

PH x M
day 122 from pop
66 days since up pot
49 days from first pistils

Neither have been topped or pruned only LST and SCROG

 

[Graytail]

Nice job Gazoo!! Gorgeous!

Thanks, I'm really happy I never topped the PH x M

But now rethinking the
far-red at lights out, It may be shorting the flower time but losing the extra time
may not be a good thing ?

I thought about it a couple minutes, and it occurred to me that production should depend on DLI more than hours of daylight. If they still get a full dose of light for their day, it shouldn't really matter.

Right?

That Sounds right to me. Im just looking at the result over 2 grows and it looks like the flower
time is reduced by 1 to 2 weeks since I started using the far-red to put them to sleep ?

Dont remember getting a good bud swell last run either so thought maybe the last few weeks
are important ?

I could increase light but its 77w per sq ft (all new bulbs this run)

another problem is I only run from seed and never more than two runs of the same strain so
comparison could be effected by many factors.

Did you reduce daylight full spectrum hours? If not, they're getting the same DLI - just cycling to dark faster.

Interesting question. I had to rethink the purpose of Far Red. It makes the cycle to night quicker, so ... we can use fewer hours of daylight? What's the goal?

Less electricity, (fewer hours of daylight) faster finish on long running sativas
but with a loss in yield it does not make sense.

could be the way I am using the far-red maybe only in Veg
