15/02/2023 Only 2 of the 4 seeds have germinated... So 2 varieties left, 1 x Tropicana Poison XL Auto and 1x Black Jack Auto, hopefully I'll got them big!
Note: sorry, no time for more details, but I'll edit this comment later. See VEG Week #2
😮Hi, introducing the seeds in the rock-wood cubes, one escaped and felt inside the clay.
I did not find it...
BUT!!, it germinated and now reached out through a small hole of the top tap.
Do I let them close? Should I take the risk to lift the tap and move it, change the place?
At this point, I'd give it a try ! They look robust...
Best case scenario, you end up with 1 more seedling !
And it's early enough to start over if you fail...
Also wonder if I have to get the lights on after that, for a couple of hours, or so, and then cut them. I have read it's at this time plants produces more terpenes, is that right?
6 Key Points From Bugbee’s Interview on Pre-Harvest Lighting:
Photosynthetic energy is used to synthesize sugars that are used to make terpenes and trichomes.
No lights = no new energy = plants are not synthesizing new terpenes and trichomes in the dark.
During dark periods, plants consume accumulated sugars from the light periods.
Cold temperatures reduce the volatility of terpenes, which preserves existing terpenes (but slows down synthesis of new terpenes).
Could be the decrease in temperatures, not the lack of light, that is having the observed effect on overall quality of harvest.
The opposite extreme of 48 hours of darkness would be 48 hours of lights on but at a reduced temperature to protect/preserve existing compounds.
Its something that makes us feel good but has no real use in practicality.
