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.

Herming! To chop or wait another 6 daysI found a banana. I plucked it but there are probably more of them that I can't reach/see. Should I chop immediately or can I give her another 6 days? Don't know if the quality will suffer by possibly herming for 6 days.Week 16

If you look at picture 3 of 11 of my latest update, you'll see one bud, nearly dead-center. And you can see the white hairs are browning, but they're browning from the tips. Is that natural? Maybe normal for some strains? Or is it a sign of something else?Week 7

Excess leaf growthIs this excess leaf growth around bud sights normal for particular strains? I'm thinking it could be too much Nitrogen during flower but I'm not sure. Would appreciate any tips on getting the plant to focus its energy on buds rather than leaf growth. (Fyi, it is a sativa)

Nutrients differences on taste, aroma and smellHi there, since my first grow I did not use any synthetic nutrients for better taste and smell. This is the first time that Im using Advanced Nutrients Connesiour. Until now, my daughters just took organic Nutrients (worm,bat,chicken,sheep) what is your idea about s. Nutrients?

No pistils- she is an odd duckThis is a Sour Diesel Autoflower-(Homegrown Cannabis Company seed) she has been odd from the start. I am in the 9th week of flower. Why does she not have any pistils. Shit ton of sugar leaves...I am assuming there is a lot of bud underneath. Why do you guys think?
