Dead light

[WonkasTHC]

Yep

Yep,,Mother nature can does the same thing at 13/11.

If you drop your timer by an hour every week, you'll notice almost all cultivars start flowering at about 14/10
We indoor people just use 12/12 as a generalized thing because it cuts on electric use, costs a few dollars less, and does the same thing 14/10 would do.

I had a plant go into flower at 15/9 and by the time i figured out why, it was revegging lol.

i've tried to set 14/10 for White widow and she did flower at all xD
but there is a theory, if u wanna set the plant to flowerying mode set timer no more then 13 hours and 30 min of light

Luckily the new light comes tomorrow by 10am. So i can get these gals under the light and be worry free. They have gotten bigger, even just getting the sun each day. But today is COLD. No way im putting them on the porch. I think yesterday was the last "warm" day we were going to have. So things just happened to work out. I appreciate all the help. Ill post some pics when i get the light setup and the gals back in the tent. ;-)

The bud is starting to really fill in.

As long as it's not below freezing it's fine to set them out in cold temps.

^ I dont have any spare lights. Im suppose to have my new light by monday latest. So im to Friday right now. We got a nice sunny day. But Sat and Sun are suppose to be cloudy and cold. So i have 48 hours to worry about. Nice thing is i will now have a backup light so this will never happen again. Its just the wait til the light shows up and about 3-4 days later another backup light arrives.

Cloudy and 40s is still sun light better than nothing

Yep I brought mine in because it was going to stay in the 30s that is to cold. For a few hours yes no worries but to stay there for a few days not with Maui. They typically don't like colder than 50s. A plant can survive it though. I set 3 males out instead of culling them. They made it to Jan second week I think. It went into the 20s snd stayed there for a few hours.

I got the new light setup and the plants back under it. I have it on the low light setting for a day, then ill turn it up tomorrow night etc. Until its back to the regular high setting. Want to be careful reintroducing them to the light. Thanks everyone for your help. That lil bit of light kept them alive and healthy. Good to know. But now i got a backup light so this will never happen again haha!

But def a big thanks to everyone

You owe us big dawg. Pics of your grow will pay your debt..

OK i finally have them back up to full light. Ill take some pics to post tonight when my light turns back on. Dont want to interrupt them during sleepy time ;-) . Literally in 2 days they have doubled in bud size. So im happy as a clam. But i think this is the last time i do clones, i have seeds and i find it MUCH easier to grow from seed than using clones. But hey, thats just me. But in the end 3 of the 4 clones i got made it, one is small but is gonna be loaded with bud. The other two are about 3 ft high and i expect them to give me a decent amount. They are much smaller than what im use to growing. From seed i get 5ft'ers in the tent no prob. But i did have one time where the plants just kept growing and growing lol ! I had to put em outside because they were too tall for my tent. But i figured out how to keep them 4-5ft, which is perfect in the tent.

 

[Hippie420]

All that worry for nothing. Glad they're doing good for ya.

8am-4pm is decent sunlight, but it might be a bit weak compared to your grow light. They'll probably survive, but growth might slow down.

 

[Walt Berger]

These are about 3 weeks in. They have literally doubled in size since i got them back in the tent.

Nice love it when the plants cooperate

When the light died, i was trimming them up and heard a buzzing sound and the light flickered and shut off. I was like... WTF! lol. Not now !!! Luckily it was under warranty (5 year) and now i have the same light for backup. So i should never have this happen again. I also got a new timer and a few other things.

Im growing in a Vivosun tent its... 8ft tall and... 6ft wide i want to say ? I maybe off on that. But i can usually get 4 x 5ft plants in it as long as i trim them correctly. But these clones never really took off. But im seeing they are budding like crazy so i have hope. But this is my last experiment with clones. Ill stick to seed where i know (from decades of growing) what to expect. Clones were moody lil *******s lol.

The light im using and have been for 6-7 years is a Vivosun VS4000. Its 400watt. Had great great luck with this. Also have the duct fan system in it with filters. My temp is between 65-72. Of course when the lights are on its 72 and at night time they get down to 65. For decades this setup has worked for me. But as i said, clones were moody, i didnt like that. From seed i can do anything it seems like hahha.

Thanks again folks

How weird. I never had any problems with clones. Might be strain related or something.

 

[Walt Berger]

I did two different types. Originally there was 4. 2 of each type of strain. One strain is Fruitpunch and the other is Chocopunch. One of them died. So the 3 you see is what im left with. But if i had grown from seed, id have much bigger plants and many less hassles. But im being patient to see what happens in the end. I have tons of seeds, this for me was an experiment trying clones. So as long as i get a decent harvest ill be happy, but im def going back to doing seed. ;-)
