Grand Daddy Purple CFL Mircrogrow

30 hours of darkness?? That's a new one for me! I've not heard of that before, but there's a whole lot I haven't heard of before! I just put em on 12/12 and let em go. It takes a few days maybe up to a week before I see them start to flower. How fast does this do the trick?
 
Its a hormonal signal you are looking for in order to flower. Unbalancing phytochrome red and far red, during day the plant produces far red. During night far red becomes red, the plant will flower when not enough far red is produced. This is achieved reducing hours of light. But sometimes far red is accumulated and hard to get rid off. Other times not all the plant enters flowering at the same. 30+ hours of darkness just makes sure all far red has becamed red. This produce a little shock. But its not significant and will not stun the plant. Making a solid switch to start flowering
 
Got an update. Just turned the light on after 33 hours. She's looking good. A little pale mostly on new growth but normal due to no light. What do you think?
In gonna tie down each cola to the edge of the pot

Check out Gordos main line thread....
I have some pics on a better way to tie off plants

It's gorgeous plant!!
 
Thanks. Yeah I saw gordos mainline I did that at the very beginning, the structure is all set up. Now i just wanna give each cola some space so they don't touch each other
 
Ohhh i see. The tomato cages. I really want to try one. But I have such a limited space that it doesn't fit. I'm gonna buy some and use them on my next outdoors. The outdoor plants always can use a little extra help :)
 
I'm trying to make LST easy to understand and help other growers with limited space how to take advantage of small grows, hopefully this shows more than some pics
