Photoperiod Photoperiod plants straight with 13-11 hrs light / day?

Interesting very interesting

Haha! What are you thinking, @tony mcstoney?

I've ran grows 13/11 from seed and 14/10 from seed and they've flowered after about 3-4 weeks. Any higher than that and you're risking problems or extended veg times.

@justDave -- wow, thank you!
This is just the kind of response I was hoping for.

May I ask what strains they were?
Or at least what basic kind of genetic background they had?
E.g. the usual sativa / mainly sativa / sativa-indica hybrid / mainly indica / indica?

I'm expecting that the photo Great White Shark (x1) and Northern Lights (x2)
that I put outside (at about 13/11) will flower soon too.
The Shark's a fem plant, but the Lights are just regular photos.

Thanks!

Hi Maria, so unusual to find a lady that really loves her weed and knows her stuff, despite all the indepth botanical inquisitiveness. Are you a Virgo by any chance?
With regards to whether or not to put the NL and GWS outside under 11 hours, I am also in the "just do it" camp. It's all good experience.
I am in one of the least conducive to growing good weed areas of the world, so I have to drag all my plants inside to indoor conditions when the weather is rubbish, but I do it cos I love my plants. I chanced a guerilla grow one year (17 plants on a state forest), and it went OK for the most part but it is too unreliable for most strains except for something like Senis's ruderals Indica, which I kinda liked despite it being more like a tranquilliser. I did cross it with NL (auto) but haven't had a chance to grow the cross out, I was too tempted to go for white widow, mazar, blueberry and Dr.Feelgood.
Anyway, now you got me blabbing on .
Time to do other things.
See ya.

Ya know, I don't remember. I think it could have been some Shiva Skunk seeds I played with this with but I've done Skunk, Kush and cheese strains this way so can't remember which exactly. They get a bit stretchier during the veg phase which is why I tended to stick to Indica dominant hybrids. Hope that helps [emoji16]

Why I did 13/11 FS was cause I figured the extra 90 - 120 hours of light through the grow would boost bud production. I'm pretty sure it did if I remember correctly.

I guess asking questions is the way to get answers and knowledge, right?

Hehe. No!!

I remember in the 90s, Sensi's Ruderalis always seemed like an oddity to me when I read about it in High Times and other mags.
I'm also thinking about the auto x photo situation, and doing some reading.
I have a couple of photo Northern Lights, and part of me is hoping for two girls, but another part hoping for at least one boy.

Yeah, more indica types. Thanks for the info.
Shiva Skunk is Sensi Seeds Skunk [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] X Northern Lights, isn't it (IIRC)?

Okay, memory not too bad...

This is a very good point...

Today the little photo period Great White Shark started to show a few tiny pistils.
She sprouted on Aug 12, which makes her about 27 days old, less than four weeks.
She's been outside under a 13/11 light cycle for only 7 days (though before that had a few fairly short light hour days already).
Just awaiting the two Northern Light reg photo plants to flower now...
