another thing....18/6 cool for cuttings/clones? or they better under 24/0 for a while?

Ive read that 2 weeks of 24/0 under a flouro is good. I stick mine in 18/6 as soon as they have roots because its convient with my setup.

Pistils change color for lots of reasons...age, heat, too intense light, got sprayed with something etc...does not mean you did not pollinate the whole room, but I often see red hairs @ ~5weeks and then usually get some new white ones.

thats a horrible way to judge when to harvest. red hairs can show up 3 weeks early. I just got a bag from an old man that grows it and it had red hairs....they buds were loose and a goose and the trichs were only 25-35% cloudy even after it was dry. It honestly took 5 bowls between me and a buddy to get stoned. what a waste.

reading threw the canna bible by JC, calims that 16/8 is better than 18/6 for a more "natural" like environment and should even grow/sex faster than plants in 24 or 18 light cycles....either way should be no light stress this time around...and on my last grow the PA didnt hermi at all and was some killer smoke so hopeing for the same turn out, only this time ill take some clones

I imagine your plants will stretch a bit taller with extended dark hours. It costs less electricity also.
