    If you are looking for scientific proof of what I am saying, you should search "auxins" and "ethylene cannabis flowering hormone." The information I stated is out there in all scholarly texts about not just cannabis, but photoperiod flowering plants generally. Stop calling me misinformed or a liar because you aren't informed at all.

      You have an interesting way of putting words in people's mouths. You've lost all credibility as far as i'm concerned. Good day, sir.

      Maybe to you, but I think my plants speak for themselves. So, I don't care if you find me credible. "Good day."

      I was just going to let it go, but you are probably the most pompous user I've met here so far. You talk like what you say should mean something to everyone, and it doesn't. Least of all to me.

      Now, I invite you and anyone interested to watch the results, and if you see something you like, l would be more than willing to teach you guys a few things more. Just watch what happens with my grow and you will see everything I say adds up.

    I called it absurd because it's going to bring up all kinds of new topics and threads and questions for what reason people can barely water their plants without killing them I'm all for tricks and trying to manipulate plants go for it more power to you but you king pissing contest you're so stuck in your ways you can't even suggest to a guy that's got yellowing leaves on the bottom of his plant to cut them off and you are surrounded by threads that people are defoliating their plants with great success....so you know all is well to each their own.....

      There is nothing to judge Nugs. I always had the upmost respect for Green. I don't know where this is coming from. Peace.

      Is all good again Green. I knew it was just a misunderstanding. Happy Growing.

      Furthermore, it says in the first slide I posted in this message, auxin produces growth on the SHADED SIDE and in the middle slide, it says the FLOWERING HORMONE IS DEGRADED BY LIGHT.

          For some reason, I thought this would spark a debate....

          Voodoo, I understand how the flowering cycle is induced. I'm not seeing any evidence supporting your greater yield claim, though. Perhaps you can spell it out for us neanderthals

          I know that plants stretch more in the darkness but that just results in taller plants. Not necessarily more yields. I'm glad 10/14 works out for you. Barring proof that a shorter light cycle increases yields, I'll be sticking to my 12/12. More light = more energy = more yields seems simple and straightforward to me.

          I've heard of utilizing an 11/13 flowering cycle to accelerate ripening, to bring out phenotypic expressions, or just to conserve energy. I've heard claims that it increases yields too but proof is in the pudding. I ain't seen no pudding yet...

          Help me out here.

            Man I love the talk. Now I've got more experiments to run than days left in my calendar. Maybe Santa will bring me a new tent.
            So here's my next question: If it is just a matter of growth hormone levels going up in the dark and being used up in the light, does that mean Autos make the hormone even in the light?

              My dearly beloved Green, why is it an absurdity to run your lights at 11/13? I did this the last 2 weeks of my grow. I was told or maybe I read it somewhere that this MAY make them ripen a bit faster. MAY being the operative word.

              Ok, I made above post and then read this. That is exactly what my premise was for going 11/13 last two weeks........not to get a bigger yield, but I thought it might speed up the ripening process a bit. Only did it because we were kind of on a time deadline that was fast approaching.

                One more comment from me. We even covered up the little indicator light on the dehumidifier and on the power strip.....just to be on the safe side. Why take a chance?

                  Don't forget about moonlight in nature. Indirect, dim light should be ok. But like you said, why risk it?

                    I've made this point before. Moonlight isn't moonlight, it's reflected sunlight. People also forget that outdoor plants are exposed to flashes of lightning, as well as daytime storms which don't allow for proper light exposure.

                  Royal Nugs Here's your puddin' at 2 weeks old. I also want to point out that if I hadn't proved it to you, you never would believe that 241w does that what it's doing there to two plants.

                    Let's be fair here...your two week old buds don't look any different or bigger than anyone else's on here...they are pretty.

                    What's your thoughts on defoliation...

                  #29
                  Sorry, not going to feed your troll-like attitude. I won't be responding to you anymore. Have a great grow! I wish you success, honestly.

                  This thread has been derailed... sorry for my involvement in that.

                    Let's all sit back and smoke a bowl. The tone of this thread is starting down the path of other forums I avoid. I love the decorum of this site, always have. New growers and old growers sharing their passion. Peace
