Your up north is sounding more attractive every day.

I'll be going from a city with 4 million to a town with 6000 lol
That's enough appeal for me sir.

People and more specifically stupid people scare the shit out of me.

And there's the fact that I'm a crazy recluse lol

Keep it up and I'll make it 6001, mate!

 

[torontoke]

There's a lot of reasons why you may want to return to the land north of the Great Wall yourself @ttystikk

Eventually the rec mj thing up here will be sorted but in the meantime the med program is still better then nothing.

The more the merrier is not really a saying I use tbh but for you sir I'd gladly make an exception lol

I got all the time in the world for good people like yourself.

Don't worry I'm not always this warm n fuzzy.
Actually fuzzy I am so maybe just not so warm lol

 

[torontoke]

Can't help myself I'm addicted to taking pictures lol
Still can't believe these are only on day 25

lol reorganizing and a heavy feed.
Looks low potentcy already

 

[torontoke]

Day 26 lower

Damn, stop showing those flowers as they develop. I promised myself I'd reduce my lights-on times slowly to see the effects but seeing these you're going to make me a liar and go straight to 8/16! lol

I'd honestly suggest doing it your way sir. Each crop lower it a half hour or so and find what truly works best for your strain/environment.
I would be willing to bet that you keep reducing tho and don't ever go back to 12/12. People might think I'm an extreme tight ass or push it to far with 8 hours but even 10 hours is a lot of savings energy wise (20%).
And I'm also fairly confident that if I can get buds like these with 8 I could match or beat my 12hr yield with 10 for sure.

 

[torontoke]

I'm super curious about how long these are going to go.
I really can't see them going another 25 days and that would only be 51days from flip. Wouldn't be surprised if these are less then 50.

Guess there's only one way to find out lol

Yeah I'm interested in seeing the differences in expression of the clones as I reduce the times but not seeing much downside.

Me neither tbh
But I suppose that is obvious lol
I was planning to try a few other cycles but there really is no reason.
Long term I think that I can reasonably supply myself even with plant count limit using 8/16.

 

[torontoke]

Don't Look @GroErr
It's day 27 and 20

 

[torontoke]

Day 28 and 21
I'm not sure if it's the strains or the boards but looks like I should easily hit a gram a watt. Suppose that's a much easier goal to hit now with only 200watts going.

@Growmau5 uses a grams per kilowatt hour metric, which I think is a much better standard. Correct me if I'm wrong on that, Mau5!
