How to Trigger
Zappdoggystarted grow question 2 years ago
30 years ago I grew a lot under HPS and have just recently gotten back into it. One thing we always did was to turn off the lights for a 24 hour period to supposedly trigger the plants faster. I learned this from the person who taught me how to grow.
Has anyone heard of this?

Heard of it, yes... necessary, no... Just changing the lights to 12/12 will flip them into flower... but the 24 hour lights out certainly won't hurt!
Welcome back to the wonderful world of growing! A lot has changed but I think the basics will always be the basics!! Good luck...

@GrowingGrannie
Thanks for the reply. I haven't used that method since I found it wasn't necessary. I actually found that the plants would show some signs of stress for a few days after. My last crop I didn't do that and they showed no signs of stress.
Some very nice grows in your diaries. All the best.

This is my outdoor plant. Could you tell me how much longer you would leave it to be at its highest point of thc, how much would it have left to harvest?

Browning pistils in early flowerHey! Should I be worried that some of the bud sites have some browning pistils this early on?
I have already moved the light away, and turned the fan down. It is not hot in the closet so it's not heat stress. I also watered with only water last time, with 10% run-off...

Is it a female??This was a stray seed that I found. Not sure what it is, I’d guess sativa. I believe it looks like a flowering female but I’m just guessing

Too late to defoliate?Should i try to defoliate these two auto girls a little more, or is it too late into flowering?
If so, which leaves are safe to remove?
They are approximately 45 days from sprout and have been speeding through their fases, so it's been hard to compare to others schedules

Mouldy, webbed budsThe humidity was too high when I went away and now my buds are mouldy. Obviously I’m heart broken (mainly at my own stupidity because I should know better!) and I wondered if there was anything I can do to recover some of the crop. Can I wash? spray? Dry out…basically anything?!?

Trichomes evaluationHello, in the last page of my diary (20), I uploaded some photos of Trichomes that I took with microscope. I believe that they are not ready for my usage (insomnia is my condition) and that I should wait until they are some milky and some amber. Can someone confirm my intuition?

Early Amber TrikesMystery strain, pretty sure its Strawberry Cookies https://supersativaseedclub.com/cannabis-seeds/strawberry-cookies.html#/26-seeds-3_feminized_seeds Hairs are still yellow but trichomes are mostly opaque with 5-10% amber. Harvest now or will buds still swell/ripen?

What strain is this? Any guesses?I have grown a bagseed. It's a kind of sativa dominant outdoor strain. Anyone, does it look familiar to you? Any guesses? It has a short distance between the nodes, quite thin leaves, a citric, sweet stem rub and smell, the flowers switched to a deep dark purple.
