dont give up on me guys...


almost finished.. will be harvesting the younger plant in three weeks from todays date. So keep in tune if you want to see the end results. Might surprise some of you!!!
:|

I'll be posting the following:

lights used; nutrients used; along with other information.

kinda busy atm, but, three weeks from todays date I will be posting all the information including pictures.

Lets just say Plant 'A' looks like she's going to be the bigger bushier out of the two. That's all the info im giving out for now. See everyone in three weeks!

peace

I am glad you posted to let us know what the deal is. I will be looking for you in 3 weeks. Thanks:weed:

You know what we are whining about? You come up with a theory, propose an experiment, promise to update, and you dont. Thats what we are whining about.

No updates, no pics-how many posts claim they have a camera, but its broken, or its all messed up, or they dont have a cable but they will be posting pics soon-and dont. It wastes the time people spend to read thru all the posts, and delivers no information that the readers are looking for to begin with. It also wastes electricity, bandwidth, server space, and clutters the forum.

We are here to learn from eachother and its a disappointment when we dont because of bad manners.

I feel the same way I've read this thread many times in a row. Waiting pics. And nothing. I say your. Yanking our chain. If not prove it. It's that simple

Pointless as he meant for 24/24 and if that was ever to work then why does a plant start to flower at 12/12 but will not at say 14/11, because it's genetics, that say that. Doing what is proposed is asking for hermies.

You should know how a plant grows before attempting an experiment like this.

His second post demonstrates his lack of understanding.

Poor guy got laughed out of here

How did it take 4 years to point out how clueless this guy was... 5th graders have a better understanding of photosynthesis
if it didnt use up and get rid of what energy its leafs soaked up the day before.. it would be wasting energy right?

. and no one said "wrong" to this.... :wall:

Haha he failed a drug test and what he got out of it was that his sample bud was super potent.... too entertaining, this guy needs to make a comeback. Must be still waiting for his plants on a 48 hour cycle to finally finish flowering.

PK is a rude prick of the worst sort....and knows dick all about selling any product.

a good salesman never slams the competition but rather explains why his product provides better value for the dollar....but when you are pushing snake oil

I can offer scientific explanation to the results. While the plant will have 2 days worth of sugar created by photosynthesis (the only time it makes sugar is when there is light to make the sugar), the plants flowering hormones will be present for flowering growth for over 40 hours at night, which suggests that perhaps this will lead to heavier onset of flowering, as normally plants only receive 8 hours of flowering hormones during 12/12. The difference in this process is that the long flowering stage will have a longer period of flowering stem cell differentiation, which means that when the plant does make new cells, more of them are dedicated flower cells at night. The long day period is great too, as it allows these heavily induced flowering cells to absorb a lot more light then they normally would get during flowering. This poses two distinct advantages: one being that the plant will not differentiate any stem cells into flower cells while it collects energy, two: for that reason the existing flower cells (induced heavily the night before) have a long time to grow and store energy themselves. This gives the cells a healthier fatter life, as usually flowering cells only swell with 12 hours worth of photosynthesized sugar, but these will have 48. Over all this makes flowering cells in a more consistent and superior manner.
In laymans terms: more darkness means a completely flowering plant, more day means completely growing flower cells that dont fall behind or get missed due to new flower cells.

There was a Weed World article a while ago about long light cycles. And, apparently its the dark period plants respond to, so having 36h or 48h on and a 12h off apparently works. I think 36/12 would be a good start, 48 hours in the dark seems a lot. And with that much darkness are you really getting better growth? the plant gets less light so would think so. whereas 24-36/12 would in theory provide more growing time/better growth.
