<span class="link_user">@GrowerBaal</span>, :upside_down_face: you are absolutely right. But still there is this childish wish inside me to have EVERY good strain in my fridge or jars. That&#039;s also the reason why I can&#039;t stop buying new seeds and strains although there are dozens of hot ones in my fridge waiting to be grown. Peace, bro:spock-hand::skin-tone-3::christmas_tree:

<span class="link_user">@KurtHighgrade</span>, I know the feeling to decide if you smoke the last gram of a delicious weed or spare it for some other day. But usually there is something else in the tents or even in the jars what is not worse than the other.:yum:

<span class="link_user">@Spike</span>-GreenGrower, hi dude, yes my mind boggles when I get into this stuff. That&#039;s correct though both the surise and sunset have a low red to far-red ratio, meaning the far red spikes up at sun up and sundown if you really wanna dial it in make the sunset 2x the far red you use for sunrise. Just make sure the rest of your day has a high red ratio and no excess far red.. The plant measures the duration of the night by monitoring the amount of Pfr that has reverted to Pr. I imagine it like a egg timer with sand. Can speed up the flow of sand one way or another determined by what type of red and ratio overall. The standard flowering cycle for many indoor plants is 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. By applying a short pulse of far-red light at the very beginning of the dark cycle, a grower can trick the plant&#039;s internal clock. Forcing the conversion: A pulse of far-red light (730 nm) rapidly converts the active (P_{fr}) back into the inactive (P_{r}) form, simulating several hours of dark reversion. This amplified &quot;sleep&quot; signal causes the plant to believe the night started hours earlier than it actually did. For a short-day plant, this rapid reset means it can perceive a 14-hour night even though it only received 10 hours of darkness. This allows growers to use a 14/10 light cycle (14 hours of light, 10 hours of dark) without disrupting the flowering of short-day plants, as the far-red pulse makes the night effectively &quot;long enough&quot;. This provides plants with more light for photosynthesis and can speed up the flowering process. What about all night. Or a pulse. High Pfr overnight mimics a short night: If you maintain a high Pfr:Pr ratio overnight, the plant never receives the signal that a sufficient dark period has occurred. This mimics the conditions of a short night, during which Pfr levels remain high. Flowering is inhibited: As a result, the plant will not flower. This is the same effect that is observed when a flash of red light interrupts a long night, which instantly converts any Pr back to Pfr and resets the dark-reversion clock. Buts it&#039;s not that simple I do not necessarily want a 14/10 for entirity of flower. If you give a 12/12 with the pr/pfr conversion to make her more of a 10/14. It may be best suited to late flower. A photoperiod cannabis plant will develop differently under a 14/10 light cycle compared to a 10/14 cycle during the flowering phase. The differing lengths of light and darkness trigger different hormonal responses, influencing the plant&#039;s growth, yield, potency, and maturation time. A faster maturation time in flowering cannabis offers quicker harvests and lower risks, but can result in diminished potency, lower yields, and a less complex flavor and aroma profile. The trade-offs depend on the grower&#039;s priorities and the specific cannabis genetics. 14/10 physical light cycle with pr/pfr conversion for optimal yield to make plant think it&#039;s on a 12/12, after first 4 weeks of flower when trichomes ramp up I will change it to 12/12 keeping the pr pfr conversion should switxh her to a more 10/14. Although this is stressful so make sure she is not suffering from undue stress from other areas. Make sure one also applies a second pulse of far-red light two hours into the dark period if you do. This mimics an even longer night, causing the plant to perceive a very short day of 10 hours and a long night of 14 hours. This simulates the shortening days of late autumn and can stress the plant, triggering a defensive response. Some growers report that this low, controlled stress can increase resin and trichome production as the plant works to protect its flowers. This mimics a natural outdoor harvest cycle where days get progressively shorter and nights longer. Reduce relative humidity during the late flowering stage to around 30%. This is another controlled stressor that can boost trichome production while reducing the risk of mold.

<span class="link_user">@GrowerBaal</span>, thanks Baal:handshake:unfortunately nothing&#039;s left over anymore. Was a great smoke
