I have a Durban and took a clone from the mother plant which I had forced flower for 2weeks before taking clone. The cutting is in rockwool and I usually put it under a desk lamp to extend the light period. But it is producing pistils and no sign of roots yet, would the parent continue to flower if I stopped moving it for the 12/12, or would it reverse, they seem to take a long time to reverse being I'm at 52N, would this be an advantage and prevent plants from reversing once past the solstice, would they know the light was dropping and keep flowering normally. Maybe our Dutch friends would have some knowledge of this or anyone know?? The weather hasn't been great here a lot of cloud this summer! Interested to hear your views thanks

Was the mother on a long veg cycle indoors? Like 24/0 or 18/6??

cloneX · 07-07-2008, 11:25 AM

No it wasn't on a long veg cycle, it was grown form seed and 12/12 started about, 2 - 2 half weeks before the cutting was taken

WHAT IF I CUT IT AT THE BASE...IE CHRISTMAS TREE STYLE, PUT IN A BUCKET OF FLOWERING NUKES TO FINISH IN A BETTER LOCATION.... WILL IT STRESS TOO MUCH... HAS ANYONE TRIED THIS METHOD BEFORE

cloneX · 07-14-2008, 12:16 PM

LOL if you want to move it HOVAH, dig it up and wrap root ball in a sack to move to new location, do not cut at base,"Christmas Tree Style" or your plant will be DEAD. Just best to dig it up with as much of the root ball as possible and replant in soil again don't put it into a bucket of water with nukes, it will be too shocked and may drown!!!!

cloneX · 07-14-2008, 12:48 PM

Wonder can someone tell me what is the problem with these leaves please, is it Nitrogen or Magnesium or anyone know??/

BC, this is a great thread. Photo period is probably one of the most understood/misunderstood issues a grower faces.

I won't go into a long soliloquy, I just want to touch on a topic that ties into this.
I realize that you have said early on that you don't feel that the moon has much to do with the photosensitive part of the plant. And with my observations, I tend to agree with you, but only when considering the light. I think that many of us dismiss the effect that the moon really does have on plant life.

Following moon cycles and using them in conjunction with horticulture has been a staple practice for thousands of years, and it seems that there is some credence to the theory. We have to realize that the moon has a profound effect on everything we do here on Earth, as it greatly effects nature here. Just look at how powerful the moon is...as it can cause the tides of our Earth to rise and fall. One would have to dismiss common logic to think this tremendous force does not come into play in a real and big way.

I have heard many times growers say that they dismiss the moon phases for indoor grows, but I feel they are probably only considering the lighting ability of the moon, and are dismissing it's real power, which probably doesn't care if the plant is indoors or out.

Hey Backcountry. Just wanted to tell you that while I was waiting for activation I stole this post to place on another forum (with full acknowlegment of course). They sorely needed it over there--tons of nubes stressing over "When is 12/12 in my area" LOL. I hope you don't mind. If so I will gladly remove it. Peace.
