I call bullshit on the , "50% THC if flowered with less than 12hrs light".

That's BS. Plain and simple.

So, my GG#4, which tests above 25% , will only test in the low teens if I reduce my light cycle. BULLSHIT!
It's bullshit for sure.
I've been a med patient for 20 yrs and the last run I grew using 8/16 knocked me and my lifelong smoking friends on our asses.
Every piece of literature I've read on the subject says the opposite.
But I go by what my eyes have seen first hand and frost level isn't the worry of running reduced light cycles.

According to various info on different sites but THC degrades under too much light so therefore reduction of light at the end of harvest would infact increase THC and increase bud... Not just stating facts but actual proof for me personally...
Light dosent degrade thc it converts it to other chemicals that can turn back into thc during dark periods hence why 48hours darkness at the end of flowering maximizes thc.

Thc is hard to degrade but easy to convert into other chemicals.

Well, you guys can argue about it if you want. But you're not only arguing with me, but with Rob Clarke.

That's Doctor Rob Clarke, and he wrote Marijuana Botany. Come back after you've read it. :lol:

Ok well since your such an avid reader perhaps get on the old googler and search julien tournois his research was done in 1913. I believe his book was called "how the sun works"
And his methods have been used all over the world since.
Your not the only person that reads sir and outside of reading and pondering theory I actually tried it.

I'm not an infomercial spokesman nor do I have anything to gain by how someone else runs their garden

@rollitup you have just lost the argument imo, by using the logical fallacy of Appeal to Authority rather than answer the reasonable question of "have you tried it". you also imply ridicule by the comment "come back when you ve read it", ive got no dog in this race but im sick of people dismissing others arguments using these tricks

I prefer to stick with the 18/6 n 12/12 maybe dabbling with a dark period at harvest with some strains... However I had no choice but to do the 10 hour light period a while back when my black box timer got paint spilled on it...

So I am going on the experience of 2 grows vegged 24/0 & Flowered 10/14 because that's all I could achieve with my equipment!

First grow I was bricking myself thinking this is gonna be shite, didn't know what to expect but they were 100% knockout so I carried on same cycle next time around!!! Only problem was some sort of deficiency like iron or even N which was unfixable so I put it down to the stress or a form of light deficiency due to the short day? So in my opinion regardless of what Dr Nobby Clarke says, Dr Nobby Cl@rksville the Phd of been there done that confirms its absolute 100% unadulterated fucking Bull Shit :bigjoint:

On a much lighter note they are bringing my missus out of her coma today so lets just hope its not Dr Nob doing the magic ;)

I'm not sure if this will help you but at my local hydro they have this stuff called GHE Ripen not sure if you can use it in your grow but just a thought!

ok ive looked into this now, it is not poss to find an original abstract by Valle et al 1978 on the net (in fact the only reference is to some paper on dinosaurs of the cretaceous-tertiary period,lol, but true), the only references to it are nobby clarks book itself or cannabis forums like riu lol, I have to look at scientific papers for my job so was prepared to go thru all the research and stats and see if it stood up to 21 century analysis, lol seems like its hearsay repeated enough times to become gospel, if you find a link to the original research hit me up, until then its unproven imo

Thanks for going to the trouble. I had my doubts about that claim, myself.

lol must be the scot in you ny friend... ;)
I'll take that as a compliment! Thank you, Sir!

Best wishes for your missus, here's hoping she makes a full and speedy recovery! Nothing's better than a 'home by Christmas' story, is that a reasonable expectation at this point?

Wifes up n awake @ValleyDragon said she will be home for xmas which kind of made me think oh shit that's more work for me!!!
Did yer put some new pix of that grek you were trying to grow? I can't remember, maybe i will have a glance back tonight, but for now its under 10 hours yeah lmfao ;)

@THCBrain I tried that ripen and to be fair its not done it for me, but loads say it does? I might as well have mangooed on mine!!! Ethylene is the only real ripening catalyst I have ever read about but that was in a book by Dr Immy Rectum who also quotes dr shit fingers findings on the use of the cretaceous-tertiary big dicked indian elephants bellend smeg to aid faster ripening! So maybe we should trust VD's findings before he jumps head first into another teacup storm :twisted:
Oh and god love our Zedd, he's like a bad judge rinder :bigjoint:

Yes mate of course totally complimentary and yeah the internal bleedings stopped so they brought her round this morning, shes not quite with it yet which is normal they tell me, anyway shes gone down for a different scan so i nipped home for an hour.

I won't get back on till later so look at these four all planted same time, same coco, same lights but different strains. They popped 7 days ago and that one at front left is fucking taking over I think thats the UGORG#1 and the right one is probably a Killer Skunk? With the back 2 possibly a haze and a Blueberry but what I may do is scrap the back 2 and pop another 2 from the UGORG stable? I can only do four in my new 1.2 tent so want them to be good... not a massive fan of growing out of seeds so is it easy to say at this stage the plant thats like nearly 3 inch across in 7 days is gonna be a biggun? I know VD had a grek earlier so maybe i will see what happened to his, maybe they aren't greks just slow or strain related? Reet this cats gotta slide cos been a mum ain't easy fellas lol...
