22 Fast Skunk

Aug 14: looks good. Aug 19: I’ve found a trick for outdoor growers that is mentioned in a single paragraph in Ed Rosenthal's Growbook. Far red 730 nm light at dusk for a few seconds puts plant into ‘dark mode’ without having to wait two hours for the light sensitive hormone to degrade. So 9 hours of darkness like we get here now is worth 11 h which is enough to get most plants flowering. It’s like getting a 26 h day which is handy and should get plants flowering about a month earlier. I use the end time of Civil Twilight as listed on timeanddate.com for Edmonton as my start time each night. This is currently changing 3-4 min earlier each night. Mainly using this on the big Bubble OG manifold that got too big for me to cover like I did for the other photoperiods. Also trying it on this plant which is awesome and likely doesn’t need the help. Forevergreenindoors.com has a 4 foot 730 nm light for 100 US, and it is lightweight and durable enough. Would be better if battery powered but okay for me as a corded light.
