Rasta Jeff will use 18/6 light cycle in the last few weeks for a quicker finish and bump in weight.

Sounds like a great idea if you want your plants to reveg on you.

I’m not sure about this……it doesn’t make sense. 18 hours will put them back in veg, although that takes a couple of weeks. He probably recommends doing it the last week or two. But, I can see how it would help with yield. I’ll need to listen to the podcast though, to see his reasoning.

The Super Skunk is special……the 3 plants are trimmed. It's pretty damn good. Finished in 73 days.

Looks it.

Thug Roze…….day 83 in flowering.

Yeh it does sound freaky to do it’s in his last episode #776. He doesn’t promote doing it untill you know a cuts finishing time well enough.
Like Sshz said reveg takes a bit and it’s that window he is using. Im not that worried I have revegged plants and tried with several oz left on a skeleton which did not reveg and went all amber. When I throw clones in early spring they finish no worries with the final weeks in long days.

9 min mark is 18/6

I have listened to previous podcasts when he has mentioned before………… I have to believe what he is saying, he’s a straight up guy and very knowledgeable. It took me 30 years to switch to LED’s, I’ll consider this change in another 10 maybe.

Haha I get it Sshz why fix what ain’t broke? Yeh Rasta Jeff does seem like a stand up dude with a lot of experience and the defoliation you have shown us works well for me aswell. I found it interesting and could relate to it but I’m not about to change things dramatically to try it yet.

Lol, I can’t imagine a more drastic approach to finishing off a grow.

Haha yeh it’s pretty out there I hope you don’t mind that I mentioned it in your journal. I’m interested in how that super skunk will smell when dried. Do you reckon the smell will shift much from what you are getting now?

I know that switching your spectrum back to vegative for the last 3 to 7 days will increase terpenes.

Today I doing some smoking, basically testing everything…….the Super Skunk is unusual smelling. It’s not skunky by any measure, but it’s a mild sweetness I can’t put my finger on yet. I just weighed it, just over 20 oz but I’ll loss another 2+ oz as it dries. 6 oz per plant is unheard of in my style of grow but I’ve double checked everything and the figures are correct. It’s a beast of a yielder. This is 3 plants! Lol

The Thug Roze is a whole other ballgame, very fruity and also an incredible yielder. Here’s what’s in containers……the 3 containers on the safe have 46 oz in them total. I haven’t weighed the other stuff but the largest Tupperware containers usually have around a lb in them when dried. So guessing, 96 oz over there, plus 18 of the Super Skunk.

And, lol, I still have maybe a lb drying….. I’m guessing going 12 weeks added 20% more weight overall.

It will be very cold here the next few days, nights into the 20’s, days in the 30’s-40’s. The heat will run a lot, finishing off the drying process for most of this. I actually ran out of Tupperware containers, so I’m heading to Walmart to buy more. That has never happened before.

You need a bigger safe

Sitting here right next to the Super Skunk, I’ve changed my mind. It is skunky, but not in the Road Kill Skunk way. It’s acrid, just a hint of sweetness and maybe pungent is a better description. Not fruity, not flowery, not typical for sure. I haven’t done much skunk in the last 5-6 years, maybe Green Poison from Sweet Seeds was the last skunk I did and this is way different. Here’s another closeup.
