you said you did so just the other day... 60% and lower... i dono if you should do so again... the light was too weak from the start and thats why its stretching... if you did adjust your lights on monday...id leave it at that till the end of the week

LOL you cant think like that tho hahaha.... these timings are like different shades of the same colour.... its not like 12\12 is green 11\13 is blue and 14\10 is red its all one colour, so 10\14 is light light blue 11\13 is light blue 12\12 is blue 13\11 is dark blue 14\10 is dark dark blue kinda vibes

also - the slow change from day to day in outdoor plants, makes plants grow the way they were ment to grow.... which to the indoor grower, is very strange growth. so in veg, the plant puts out tons of vertical and lateral growth and large sun catching leaves.... and then in flower it stops making leaves, and puts effort into flowering. that is the ideal way to do it - which unfortunately does not happen in nature - the slow change from veg to flower, means that the plant also changes slowly from veg to flower, which is why outdoor plants have so many more leaves and a terrible leaf to bud ratio. which is why i use an outdoor light to trick my plants into staying in veg until i decide its flowering time - thus my outdoor bud to leaf ratio is much better than average outdoor. so using that logic...it would lend itself to assume that a similar slow change in season at the end of flower would affect a plant slower than artificially inducing a later season light cycle such as 10\14. and the change that happens faster, is the natural senescence of a plant. so basically by changing to a longer night time cycle, is telling the plant to finish up now its almost time to die

yea i would like that too...at 1000X speed tho hahaha

i think you may be doing it the wrong way around. (should have gone longer dark cycle over a longer light cycle at the end) i have heard a lot of people try different light methods with limited success, but the one which showed the greatest promise, was the following. so in natures grow cycle, spring and summer have loooong day light hours and shorter night time hours, which is how we grow our veg plants... with longer light hours, and then when the nights get longer and the days get shorter, the outdoor plants start to flower. and by the end of flower, night times are very long and day times are shorter. so if you were to mimic natures cycle you would go from high light veg cycle of 15 hours plus, to the flip day where you go to 12\12, and then what i have heard does wonders is if you change the light cycle to 14h dark, and 10 hours light, and you do this 2-3 weeks before you harvest during the last 2 weeks of a plants flowering to ripeness, the longer dark period makes the plant think that the end of the season is here, and what this means for indoor plants that have not been pollinated, is that they must now try even harder to find a mate, which is where they bulk up and supposedly become ultra resinous. so in your write up, its more of a - you go from veg, straight to the cycles you mentioned which i dont think would be the best way to try it

i would stop spraying the plants with anything at this point - stop with the seagrow foliar only spray foliar feeds if you believe you have a deficiency and you need to quickly correct it. if no deficiency, dont spray your plants. the only thing i would spray on my plants out of joy and not necessity, is humic or fulvic acids, kelpak...nothing with a NPK ratio and yea, hit us with everything youre giving your ladies. thats a good PH area to sit in. Shops dont really have the best advice about nutrient applications for cannabis, most direct you to use the product as directed on the bottle, which in most cases, would be the end of your plants career... a ppm pen will help you get to the correct feed value much easier. and you will be shocked at how high the standard dose of the ferts you are Appling actually are - see if you can get one sooner rather than later...its a vital part of a synthetic grow. did they see the plant physically or also just pics? if it was these pics exactly, then i hope you havent bought the product he was selling you because you dont have a bug issue as per those pictures... although, what did they recommend you get? maybe it will be usefull for when you actually have a bug issue one day. @Naughty.Psychonaut noticed this first...but you water every day? that is a bit excessive lol do you water till run off? how big are your pots?

yup it is the bar below all the other comments and things and says reply to this topic as @Weskush said obvs it will have your logo there and not mine, but yea - give it a go - otherwise you could click the "Quote" button under every single comment that gets posted

its not budrot in this case, but it still doesnt change the answer ima give you.... so, the one plant is like you said...dead... and it looks kinda small and spindly and not that great TBH, the next one that looks like it was dying....was dying lol... but looks like the bud is a bit better... trim all the dead brown leaves and bud off and dry it , then only Jar it. then the last plant that doesnt look so bad, is likely also ready to come down and trimmed up, dried then jarred. you really want to avoid jarring moist bud as it WILL mould and go pretty manky

this is a good way to blow 15k man, Nice setup!! all you need now are green fingers and patience!

going for the best trained plant i see.... eyes on the prize!!!

Great blessings to the one!!! i fear mainlining in the short veg time we have may not prove ideal...likely topping once or LST techniques will prevail

for sure man! i dont mind at all... let me flower them out and choose the best pheno, hopefully something red and smelly!!

i have 4 in 1st week of flower - i have taken cuts from each and will see who is the winner... im looking for red flowers - a nice sweet smoke will be double bonus!

thanks for the idea! but my balcony is busy with that currently... and i have plants for the space anyways - only space for weed in my tents!

very good very good! nice nice! those ladies are gonna be busting out before you know it!

get those seeds popped man! you dont have a moment to lose!

yes bru!! very keen to see what okes push out! almost everyone is using LED this comp

ima shoot for either calcuim or potassuim. or both... also the plant looks like its been sprayed with something... it may need some clean water to rinse off whatever it is what are you feeding her?

i too experience some side effects when i go home... it is either my cats...or my weed lol. if i go into my grow with short sleeves and need to take leaves off my flowering ladies, i do tend to get like a mild deep heat sensation on my forarms...i dont go red or blister or get the sniffles, but i do feel a warm sensation. i like how everyone will rather take something over the counter than give up growing hahaha i love this community

my 3rd lady is a gonner... couldnt handle the heat this competition is bringing! such a shame that my whole tote....space for 6 plants...is down to 2 plants i might plant one or two of my other seedlings in the mix to help fill the tote ill post pics of the sprouters in a few days once their leaves have come out nicely

Shot man! that would be cool lol - maybe donate the plant to someone? where you at?

very cool... if you were closer i would have offered some of my cherry tomatoes that i grew on my balcony for your salads hehe

yea that should be good for your youngins - 15-20k lux is around 200-250ish ppfd

all....four? understood that you have extra Tortini seeds which is cool... but you will need to remove one from your selection as it does give you a bit of an unfair advantage in this competition format.

whats up man!! starting off nice and clean!! things look good yo!! what lights are you gonna use and what medium and stuff? welcome to the growoff and i hope you have a blast!!
