This tree has been going 12/12 for 10 weeks yesterday. These pics are in the Sun today. I did look at the trichs and they are all clear.
The bud part looks good but the leaves are almost dead and receding death into the buds. Like the Fall season if I shortened the light cycle even more @ week 8 to 14/10 I think these would be done. As it is these will die before finishing.
So far the effect has been to add more bulk to the buds. The trichs are clouding up evenly over the new bud and the original bud. It may turn out that I end up with a larger yield with the only downside being another few weeks to harvest.
Q3 i gotta respectfully disagree with Herb&Suds. I've found that reducing light schedule to 10/14 can help with foxtailing. Depends if your plant is foxtailing or revegging though.
Tell me, is it shooting more white pistils or is it throwing single bladed green fan leaves?
