So do you think I have I'll have any Hermie's or other issues?

The 2 things that will cause Hermes are #1- it's genetic. The second thing is stress by overfeeding or running your plants with some really fucked up PH. Lighting won't do dick

One time I smoked some dank that had been put back into veg. It was obvious because it had 2 sets of nodes. Guess what happened? I passed out LMAO that was some dank stuff but honestly I don't think that's natural

Dude, I'm retired. Have been for several years now.....I run the farms (co-op) still but that's nothing.....Will be "on tractor" later this week bro!

Hmm, I should go down county to the new dairy operation and see how the organic change over is going.....Got over a year yet to go for certification.

I'm retired also. Was an electrician for 30+, said fuck that shit, too old to be carrying pipe and breaking my back. Now, I just watch my plants grow. Nice

Dr. Who said:
NO! The issue of "light leaks" is rather overblown.....Not to mention that a few min here or there with lights out times due a to a short term "Boo - Boo" . Won't hurt!

I agree. I mean think about outdoors. You can't turn the moon off. And it gives off a different amount of light every night. I also grow in Southern California where there are so many city lights it's kind of crazy, but I don't have any issues with herms or revegging outdoors. While I wold suggest in most cases to avoid light leaks, they aren't as detrimental as some seem to think Ime.

You're going to notice the next morning just before lights-on that your plant does a lot of growing at night. I almost wonder if my 24/0 on my last plant stunted its growth.

Bro I think 24 hours is more pain for them than pleasure. I tried that this time for veg and they seem to grow slower in flower. I just go by this simple rule. Treat the plants how you wanna be treated. I get 8 hours of sleep so they should too. That's why usually I have mine on 16/8 in veg

I was thinking 16/8 for the next round. I only realized how much I may have been stunting it after the flip to flower, when it fucking shot up during the night.

I'm retired at 26 years old. So, three retirees, anyone else?

For those who think I'm full of shit.

Right after I use my GI Bill. For now, living off of my pension and considering a school. I'm currently 3 credits short of an associate's level. I want to major in psych and botany/horticulture, and minor in a Category IV language. I already have elementary Chinese down, A-, top of the class. ;D

But the idea is to apply psych and botany/hort (not sure which yet) to a field I want to create. I want to use applications of a broad field relevant to growing marijuana (botany and/or horticulture) to give myself credentials to create a new/renewed and revised school of psychopharmacology where you study and apply ethnobotanicals (marijuana, kratom, opium, kava, ayahuasca, etc.) in the field of psychology/psychological medicine/therapy. Sorry, I was having a hard time wording all of that.

Olive Drab Green · Apr 18, 2016

I'd probably need to combine it with some kind of medical or high nursing degree, to legitimize it.

Excellent! I would love to speak Chinese (still working on English), seeing as they are the most dynamic country in the world. I would continue there, get a nursing/horticulture and you would be unstoppable in the 21st century. Good luck, my friend

there is actually nothing wrong with 24/0. C3 plants (MJ) don't require a dark period during veg.

what you are calling growth, is really the plant stretching towards its' last known light source.

I mean that the budding also picks up in the dark. Branch-wise, that is really cool info, though. Learned something new.
