Week 8
11/11 Day 50 - From now lamps are at their full power, 400 watt each, total wattage 800W, 12hrs/day.
13/11 Day 52 - I removed biggest leaves covering the plant, i'm still using nutrients for the vegative stage unti the plants are big enought and colas are long enought
I also decreased a bit the temperature inside the tent. The left plant is growing slower than the others... The right one seems she's stratching well
14/11 - The smell is becoming more and more pungent, i think I should change nutrients type for the biggest plant, to stop her growth or she will fill my tent and cover other plants!!
15/11 - Removed some big leaves on top... Finally i was able to replace the mini-fan, which broke days before. Left plants seems growing slowly, while the right one is healty and fast growing.
@AsNoriu, niiice! I will try with 72 hours, but i will keep watering them during this night period, properly flushing the roots. I have a green headlight, which is perfect to do things inside the tent without "waking" the ladies :D Thanks again for your advice
@Ninja31, i read a lot about darkness shock. There is one really good article or research work about it from holland scientist. Short version of it. Plant needs at least 72 hours ( 3 days ) for results to be expressed in real trichoms increase.
In shorter time plant reacts, starts to defend himself, but for that to become reality plant needs time, 3 nights. Research showed aswell that there is no bigger increase up to 5 nights, but cuttoff minimum is 3.
Water them well before darkness, give 3-4 nights and enjoy frostiest weed ever ;)
@AsNoriu, Unfortunately i must plant this activity due to job issues :/
My aim is to dry them in the tent, because outside humidity is very high and i have to limit the smell.
That's why i can't harvest buds separately, even if this would be a great choice (i like the cluctch effect too ;)
By the way i will wait 'till the end before harvest... I also want to try 36 hours of darkness this time, i read that this increase potency :O

I stoped disturbing them in the night, first 5 or last 5 min of darkness wont change much, but gives you vission even with simple flash light.
Green light beeing reflected , but still is used in photosintesis. You can influence your cycle.
