Leprechan Sweet Leaf Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hi. What effect would changing my light cycle to lights on in day? I have fem mazar. I know stress is not recommended for fem vars, but what would the effect be? Should I give 24 hrs darkness before changing light cycle for lights to run in day? :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obscure_shadow Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 i really dont think that one day would make a difference actually shadow :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HomeGrown Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) the effect of changing the light cycle is u are going to stress ur plants. The consequences of this might be Nil or it might be horrfic if they turn hermie. as u have feminised seeds, im going to say they are more likely to get stressed and turn hermie than a non feminised standard plant i'd change the photoperiod over a few days.....keep giving them 12 hours dark....just a few hours light till ur using the photoperiod u want. keep checking for balls though.... and while im on the subject...."keep your eye on the ball" and keep checkin ya own balls for lumps and bumps that shoulnt be there kind regards HG Edited July 20, 2006 by HomeGrown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obscure_shadow Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 i think you would stress it out more by doing that actually... that just seems to make sense, though i dont have anything to back that up with.. shadow :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HomeGrown Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 nah the plant needs 12 hours dark - thats the most important thing as for only a few hours light etc....the plant just thinks its a cloudy day poor light etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know stress is not recommended for fem vars, but what would the effect be? Should I give 24 hrs darkness before changing light cycle for lights to run in day? Personally I just leave them in dark until the next lights on period. I figure that THC gets produced in the dark as do flowers, so it can't hurt too much. On the flip side do not of course leave the lights on to change times during flower, that'd be a little silly now wouldn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RAZ Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Give them extra darkness until the time is right for the lights to go back on..... RAZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leprechan Sweet Leaf Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 Ok. I'll do that. I'll knock off the lights for a day. This grow is not a strict one. I feel that finishing the plant with some sunshine in my kitchen would do it some good somehow, even sacrifising yield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
