How to Trigger
Zappdoggystarted grow question 3y 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...

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.

Drying Best Practices?Drying ganja for the first time. Buds are in the dark with temp steady at 70F. Humidity steady at 55%. Trimmed fan leaves, but left all sugar leaves. Plant is stinking like wet grass on the 3rd day of drying. Will this smell break down or am I needing to make some adjustments?6y ago

Just want to clarify something as it doesn't really make sense to me. Does leaving your plants harvest for a longer period of time mean that it will be more of a sativa, and less of a Indica? I seen lodes of different opinions online and would love to learn more about this.Week 9

Cheese autoflower Amber trichromes on leaves but white hairs. Harvest or waitCheese autoflower is starting to show amber trichromes on sugar leaves not buds. Like quite a few. Still has lots of white hairs. Very few other harvest signs. Should I start to flush and harvest. Possibly sequencial harvest ?? Or give it a little longer.

Possible hermy?I believe I have just found some male sacks while my plant has started flowering!
What could have caused it to hermy?
Is it possible for it to only hermy slightly? As I have only found 3 sacks so far, so far the rest of the plants good.
Sorry no pic as I picked em offBuds. Other

What's wrong with herThis is an auto in its seventh week since seed. Why does it look like this all new growth is lime green and I know it's normal when sta4ing to flower but she looks sad and not herself. I have dimmed the light a bit as she has grown but even bottom tips are the same.

Auto late flowering?Plants look healthy and there are some hairs visible, but no realy bud production yet. Plants are Northern Lights autoflower. I am wondering if it is normal to not see any bud growth at this stage of an autoflower as I've seen lots of other autos flowering in week 5?
