Aug 5: five plants will be “phyto-forced” using a 730 nm far red light for a few seconds at dusk, and a control group of four clones will remain unforced. First night of far red light went well. Plants look very trippy when illuminated.
Aug 6: power out briefly at dusk so missed second night of forcing.
Aug 7: using far red light starting at time of “Civil Twilight” as listed on timeanddate.com for Edmonton which is about 10:00 pm now.
@Ezzjaybruh, force flowering is light deprivation meaning 12 h darkness for 2-3 weeks to start flowering. Unforced means leaving it to flower naturally. That doesn’t work very well this far North. I used that term to distinguish from the other clone diaries which were all light deprived. Cheers.
@GrowingGrannie, thanks. I’m sure these won’t finish in time, but I wanted to see how it would go. The main hash bud plant these are taken from is doing great. Cheers.
