How will a flowering auto respond to beeing transfered to 12/12 light?

OK here's the deal with auto's.
Auto's are on a time limited life cycle.
They germinate and then go through a 14-21 day veg (Approx).
They then Automatically go in to flower.
The more hours of light they receive in the flower stage the the better weight your final yield should be be as long as you keep all the other enviromental conditions at optimum levels.
More hours of light = more growth, Less hours of light = less growth.
Some people like to have a dark period to let their plants rest, I don't and I give them 24 hour of light but that is just part of how I grow my auto's.
Each to their own technique!
Photoperiod cannabis produces an enzyme which is destroyed by light, so if the plant is getting 18 hours of light for example, the enzyme can't build up to the levels needed to trigger flowering.
Once the the light cycle is switched to 12/12 the enzymes build up to a sufficient level to trigger the flowering response.
The advantage you have with photoperiods is you can keep photoperiods in veg for as long as you need to get them to a size you like.
So when you do decide to switch them to 12/12 they will have a good yield due to the extended veg period, as long as you enviromental conditions are optimal ie having enough light intensity, nutes, co2 for the leaves and oxygen for the roots etc.
An interesting note is - As a rule even if you go 12/12 from the start they won't flower for the first 14-21 days (dependent on strain 21 days is more usual).
It take this time for the plant to reach sexual maturity.
However if you grow a mother plant first, once it has reached sexual maturity, any cuttings taken can be put into 12/12 once rooted and will start flowering.
This can be useful when growing Sativas in order to keep them a more manageable size in indoor set ups, other techniques such as train can also help.
The auto can only do so much growing in it's limited veg period but the bigger the pot the big it can grow in this limited period (This is also strain dependent, some strains will stay small)
seeing as the auto doesnt care how many hours of light it has in flower due to the lack of the photoperiod enzyme, grower like to ax the light period to allow for more hours of bud growth to maximize their crop!
If you have a room of photoperiods that have been switched to 12/12 the auto will continue growing/flowering but just expect it to yield less than a 18/6 grown auto.
However you'll have plenty of photoperiod weed to smoke , so no biggie!

Nah.... This is all taking place in deepest darkest Norfolk UK....

But.... I do have a house in Thailand as well (just used for Hols and visits - my wife is Thai). The penalties if you get caught growing there are more than I would want to consider... (look up some experiences of Pot users banged up for years in the "Bangkok Hilton"). So a big "NO NO" for me.

Great explanation!
I don't think I've ever been so concise in my life.

You'll need to check with Rebel for the deets on that!
I know he has a new sublimation printer but I guess it will take a while to get used to it and produce merch of and acceptable standard.
There is always a learning curve and that also needs to be fitted in between the day job and forums duties.
However I'll show you my fan made T-shirt, cup and mouse mat, to get you ready for when the production line starts up.
Think of it as a little teaser

This last one is a poster I had made for my NGL/DinaFem Test in the Cannazone.
Due to a recent health scare my test hasn't started yet but the Eyes on Fire, Ripper & pop22 are rocking the joint with their DIY LED COB kits supplied by @PhotonLabs !
@Dinafem-Mark kindly supplied us with some seeds to test - Dinafems Fruit Auto, which is Dinafems version of Grapefruit!
We have Dinafem-Mark as our guest in tonight's live interview, he is a great bloke and we can assure you tonight's interview will be like chilling with an old friend .Which he actually is!
So why not check out the Dinafem section first, have a look at their website & click the link in my sig to have a look at some DIY COBs with Dinafems Fruit Auto being grown under them ( there is some really nice frost to see!!!!)
The interview starts 6PM GMT, I'll be throwing up a interview poster later today in Live Stoners which will have all the times for the American timezones!

Peace out :smoking:

Good Morning stoner fam, this is my wake n bake tunes to start the day, Glastonbury 98 i was somewhere in that mess of dead heads giving it large on god knows what i had consumed throughout the day and just loving the vibes rushing through my body as the crowd soaked every last bit up.



And another from earlier in the day, just made it on time to the set and had the most amazing view of 1000s of people raising their hands and jumping to the beats of Insomnia from the top of the valley the stage was set in, before taking in the breath taking site then making a crazy down the hill to the center of the fun. My best buddie had the apparent fantastic idea of pissing in a empty paper pint glass so he did not lose his space in the crowd when nature called, was working well till he got so into the vibes of the music he forgot to empty it and ended up spilling the whole contents of the cup inside his trousers and down his legs till it filled his shoes, lol still never stopped him enjoying the night and carried on like he did not have a worry in the world, being the legend the guy is and safe to say he has not changed much to this day

And now I feel stupid because I don't know if that's 1 or 2 pm est...

This should help, pic was taken from https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/ which give more options to customize zones displayed an what not, but hopefully should give a good idea.

Goooood Morning AFN!


Is there an experienced photo gardener awake?
I have a question.

I like to take photos of gardens lol but i get the feeling that not exactly what you mean

 

[Dr Fluff]

Awesome Spanglish I was there too!
I only live up the road (30 miles) and went every year it was on in the 90's.
Sometimes paying and other times going over or under the fence.
There was on year they built a tunnel in to the stone circle field.
I was sitting by the standing stones and I could see the relatively small tent and people kept coming out of it in short burst of between 2 and 4 people.
I mentioned this to someone i had been sharing a smoke with (I din't know them but was just chilling and passing the time) they said shhh don't mention it!
They went on to tell me about the tunnel and that it ca up under the tent , what a cunning plan!
I was also there the year the fence came down, so I went a sat on said fallen fence and had a smoke and a channel 4 film crew wanted to interview me (not the first time a tv film crew wanted to interview me @ Glastonbury!)
I declined as is my want, I don't seek to put my face across the media, just enjoy my time doing my own thing.
Last year Glastonbury was the last to be help on the Pilton site due to the other farmer trying fleece Michale Evis for too much money as the festival had out grown michael farm and he need to rent additional land.
So next year I have no idea where it is actually being held.
I gave up going to Glastonbury Festival when the world and his wife started going due to it being televised on the BBC.
To me that totally ruined it for me!
I used to go down to our local ourprice (record store) and get a promotional poster for the festival, that was back when they need to advertise it.
As soon as all the hoorays and well to do people wanted to be seen as cool because they had been to Glastobury that's when I stopped going.
Besides they started burying the fence and having a second fence inside that and the ticket would sell out in mere minutes and had become a stupid price too.
