Twelve12's Perpetual Grow

[MSquared]

Hey there, I am with Mr. Krip on this as well. snip snip
It almost looks as though there was a buld sitting on her and cooked just that small portion.

From what I can see in the picture, the rest of the plant looks really healthy.
cut it, inspect it and just keep an eye on the rest.

Lookin good my friend!

• Sniped! There are no dark matter in the stem. What threw me off was the rest of the plant is healthy while this leaf is out of order. Going to keep my eyes on this one.

Very similar to something I had a 2 weeks back.

I pulled the leaves and it never returned. I was worried it was disease so I cut it out immediately after taking the picture.

It never returned anywhere in the garden.

I hope the same result for you.

What happened??????? Any clue 70s

• 75F is a good temp for flowering, lucky you! Can't wait till the frost days arrive. With 1400w of light you got they'll get bigger! This is an option, exhaust up towards the ac vent. Remove the ac tube coming to the room from the attic. Don't worry things will get better. Take it easy one day at a time. Grow more keep your mind busy, provide meds for people and stay positive.

• Glad you're experiencing plant's good health and the strangeness have not returned. Hopefully it stays out from our grow rooms. Thanks for sharing that. Updating the tent tomorrow, and I don't think you're ready to see what I'm about to show...

 

[ShutUpDonny]

I don't really have words to express the awesomeness that you're showing me here. Just to clarify, this is VEG? 12 on - 5.5 off - 1 on - 5.5 off? Wow. can't wait to give it a go!

Oh, and lest I forget: + Rep! Talk about earning it...

ShutUpDonny

• Yep! It's for veg mode. 12 on - 5.5 off - 1 on - 5.5 off - repeat.

Update: Floater Cloner

I've mentioned before that I'm working on a cloning experiment with 2in neoprene. Here it is. First time at it so no results yet. If this works it will be very inexpensive passive cloning system. Run on tap water (let it sat out 24hrs before use), no nute, no root hormone, no humidity dome, with two airstones creating bubbles providing oxygen for the stems/roots. They're under 180w LED (GLR cycle) sharing the same space with my DIY aero (prime clone factory).

Update this in one week with results (fail/success).

 

[Twelve12]

When I bought the neoprene it comes with the whole piece with pre-cut 2in, so I use that for the raft. Works great. I've also tested with just the 2in and it works fine.

Update: Gas Lantern Routine - 2nd Week Completion

To recap the Gas Lantern Routine; basically it uses 12/12 photoperiod with 1hr on during the dark hours, for vegetative growth.

Goes like this.

* 12hrs on
* 5.5hrs off
* 1hr on
* 5.5 off
* repeat


Before the switch.

1 week later

2 weeks later

Still no sign of pistils/balls, that's a good thing. 2 more weeks to go before we'll give this a passing grade.

The Pineapple Express (prime focus) has grown tremendously in 2 weeks.

Enjoy the rest of the tent. No clone cuttings allowed, ;}

Next update on Thrusday (12am).

 

[Mr. Krip]

Very cool, Twelve! I still don't understand how you can interrupt the dark cycle and not get a hermie, but it seems to be working!

 

[1970s Grower]

Great pictures... It would be difficult if not impossible to find a more healthy looking garden. Reps to ya!

 

[SuKaFr33]

garden is lookin sweet!!! cant wait to see what they look like when they start gettin big ass colas on'em!!! good job twelve!!!

 

[Siscokid]

Whoa! My favorite is the info at the bottom left of each pic.

 

[Steve McStoferson]

yeah it adds a really nice touch, this in addition to the quality photography will definitely help him become a successful seed supplier when the strains are good and ready

I did some Google research and found Yoda's Lantern method grow... WoW man, I'm doing this as of tonight when lights come back on..screw that little Auto that needs 20/4! Thanks for bringing this method to our attention 12/12 Now will you be doing a 11/13 flower dropping 1/2 hour every other week till your finishing at 9/15? Plus reps my friend.

EDIT I see Yoda found that 10/14 worked out better.

Mr. Krip

• I wonder about that too. Then realized hermie don't appear until flower began. With the interruption of 1hr between the dark cycle is the key to keeping these plants remain in veg mode; destroying floral build up tricking the plants to remain in veg. Extreme light cycle may induce hermie; a bunch of different light combo in a short time frame. When the 1hr is removed the plants will be easily forced to flower (few days oppose to few weeks) and if I keep it at 12/12 and work down to diminishing cycle (less on hours as the weeks goes by) no hermie can appear. If when hermit do appear in flowering, it's because the seed has the gene (from hermie plant).

• Thanks for the kind words. It's really bright in there, I use manual mode and stop down (shutter speed) to get a nice peaceful light from the intensity of the 600w MH. They are healthy and overgrown. I've started trimming them down and made more cuttings.

• Appreciate that. Right now I'm running 2L SOG so these will be mothers/fathers (clone factory). Since they've exploded in veg I'm able to take bigger cuttings (1/2 ft per clone). Can't wait to see them perform in bloom.

Siscokid

• Glad you enjoyed it. They do help to ID the plants and its current setup for my own reference.

TheCrimsonK20

• Maybe in 10yrs :} Will see how it goes. With ignorant in power, kids in police uniforms my operation may shut down tomorrow.

• Yoda's journal is the first to document the GLR. I've read about the GLR awhile back and want to see results before testing it out. Yoda was the only one I've found using the technique. Seeing how healthy his plants were with amazing growth I had to give this a go. Only one week into the program I knew there's no way I'm going back to the traditional 18/6 or even 24/0.
  
• Yes, I'm also using the diminishing cycle (compliments the GLR) for flowering plants. They're budding nicely.
