:yeahthats

what he said
Circadian rythms and consistent returns take runs under yer belt.........and......

Experiments belong in a separate grow area beyond what`s needed to produce........and again..........

Seedplants are the most susceptible to hermaphroditism due to the non-stabilized ability of all the different pheno`s inherent in said seedplants IME......so........

Good luck and document the grow till end of cycle so all can learn.........

Stress causes hermies....period.......and it comes in many forms.....Whether what yas did will do it is directly dependent on how stable the strains are yas`re runnin , so only time will tell darlin....anyways....

Hopin for the best over here on my bucket......

Peace......DHF......:ying:......

correct me if I am wrong but your only at 19 days flower? Your not going to see explosive flowering till after the first 3 to 4 weeks of flower anyways. Your stretch has to finish before they start packing on flower sites. Of course that would have to be strain dependent but still even then its usually 14 to 21 days into flower when I see sites starting to explode. Your plants, your grow but your gonna have to stick to a cycle and roll with it because like the last few chaps that have chimed in are so true about the herms.

Sweets all the light schedule fuckery has been tried at one point or another. Nothing new under the sun as freds is fond of saying. I'll save ya some time and yield though, as I have tested the light schedules you plan to use personally, and also read/understand the science behind why it won't work effectively in your situation. Stick with 12/12 for bloom, from day one on. The only time you will see a significant reduction (a few days to week tops) in flowering times is with very long flowering satvias. Otherwise you are just costing yourself yield for no noticable gain in the flowering times department. If you want to understand why shortened day length won't benefit your garden, study daily light interval (DLI). There is a reason 12/12 is the standard. On the other hand i've seen some very impressive results running my veg lighting on a 12on, 5off, 2on, 5 off schedule (Basicly by interupting the dark period for a significant period (more than one hour, I prefer two) you prevent the flowering hormones from building significant levels to trigger a flowering response.). Cut my power use almost in half with no noticable loss of growth also. This concept is also based on DLI. Experimenting is great, and I try to encourage people to try new things, but before you do, do your homework :biggrin:

Didn`t see the new thread so I replied here........Timers and such important shit need monitored to make sure they cycle on and off as needed , cuz talk about hermies and fucked up light intervals.........anyways......

Waitin on the new thread and what ta do to make yer shit hoon and produce....

Peace.....DHF.......:ying:......

How many different strains you have in there? if all are different they will end stretch at different times so one might be starting to swell whilst the others continue to stretch. everything looks good though. slow and steady wins the race..........

Hotbox is correct. You are growing from seed (unknown strains IIRC), some plants will finish before others. May be several weeks of difference between them. Don't worry your plants look very healthy. Just keep your enviroment and light schedule stable ;). Ask anything along the way if you need reassurance or questions answered. You have some of the most knowledgable growers in the world right here in your thread, and we offer up the information for free. All anyone has to do is ask :biggrin:
