Just in case anybody reading is interested here is a great .pdf that explains the roles of photosynthesis and respiration. it starts out pretty basic and then delves deeper. a great starting point and is very easy to understand. http://www.amscopub.com/images/file/File_476.pdf

I understand what you mean perfectly... i'm just having difficulty reasoning it out. maturity of the planty has to play a part too. i also did a bit of reading on senescence a while ago trying to understand flowering a little more. During the dark the plant begins the first stages of senescence...

you didn't actually say that it didn't happen, you said that it is slowed down during photosynthesis. I only know bits of information but from what i've read they happen simultaneously and respiration is not slowed during photosynthesis. I think what happens is, particularly with people like us...

Yes they would/should be... but i'm not at your grow and only have your perception of events. Which could be skewed, or even bias in some way. i have no idea how you could have plants take 4 weeks to start flowering if they are mature enough for flower already. giberillins are produced by the...

i'm pretty sure bushmaster has been linked to cancer, in that it contains carcinogen(s). I'd steer clear.

flowering like crazy does not sound good... if they'd normally take 4 weeks and are now flowering in just 5 days... surely you should be questioning by now, as i have for a while now, whether the hour in the middle of 12/12 is actually enough to prevent flowering. also... all of the people in...

This is what i'm talking about.... i merely said what i thought and it's taken as though i'm starting a pissing match? i'm not doing that either. I have looked into 12/1... i went through the whole lot piece by piece and all I can find is one article on it written by a stoner. The article is...

Growth processes are considerably slowed during the dark. This is because the plant only has a limited amount of energy stored from the light. if it uses all of that energy before the lights come back on then it would most likely die. Obvioulsy it would take the light not coming on for several...

yeah i think we need to discuss what stretch is with our plants in an effort to better understand it. At least I do.... my earlier understanding, i'll admit, was pretty basic. In that I simply associated stretch as a reaction to the dark. although this does happen on a reactionary basis too...

@ whitey78 Hi... could you tell me how long you veg'ed your clones for before switching to flower? Also, something is nigling me about how clones can start flowering faster? clones are usually sexually mature already.... so after a little veg they should all start flowering right away.

so what is the point in the rest of your post?

there's more to it my friend. diagnosing plant issues are hard. i can look at you rplant and see she is under nuted. then i need to ask why is she undernuted... overwatering, underwatering, over feeding, underfeeding, high humidity, low humidity... disease, pestilence... apocolypse... it's all...

very true... i think it's partly my fault as I may come across as being a bit of a dick when i don't mean to. I think it's because i'm British. Most of the time i just tell what i know and the other side does the same, i may not agree right away... but in the future i can change my mind. that's...

it's hard to say. can you show a pic of a whole plant. it looks like under fertilisation to me right now. judging by the pale green leaves, purpling leaf stems and the necrotic tips.

very big of you... and if i offended you in any way i hope that you accept my apology too.

yeah i have looked into it before but not in much depth... at one time i didn't really believe it existed despite what the journals all say. now i'm slowly coming around to the idea so i think looking into it again is definitely called for.

stop being such a baby and get used to people having different opinions. you may be able to shout/beat your wife into submission, but here you can't do that. what you have read is not science, but invented by a stoner. what LF wrote was actually written by scientists for the most part. is real...

great post leagallyflying, very informative. when i say plants are reactionary i mean it in a much more in depth way. This is why i'm suspiscious of this hour break in the middle of the dark period from a 12/12 cycle. the reports fromt he growers using this method are saying that flower is...

the .pdf from treating yourself magazine is far more informative than that link and i've taken that apart already at two different sites now. None of my points have been tackled at this forum. Instead i've suffered insults and outright ignorance from what i can only describe as children for the...

how do you know (generally speaking) that you are not putting the plant into flower? as i've stated previously, i have lots of experience placing seedlings directly onto 12/12 and they can sometimes take 4 weeks or even longer to actually start flowering. even clones, although this article...
