Commencing Week 11 - 3rd week of flowering - Day 71 from germination - Day 21 of 12/12 on January 2nd Things are looking great in the garden. Everything is growing steady. The raspberry Diesel especially has been growing a little bit more than the others, which is exactly what the description online says it will do. The 818 headband AKA Sour Kush seems to be maturing the fastest. By this I mean it was the first to throw pistols and now it's the first to have visibly with the naked eye observable trichomes. Two of the Gorilla Zkittlez seem very alike as far as structure goes, however one of the two that look very alike has some purple reddish color to it in the stems and at the place where the petiole meets the leaf. One of the Gorilla Zkittlez (GZ1) has a different structure both in veg (it allowed for more LIght penetration because it was a little bit stretchier) than the other ones and now in bloom there are more budsites all of which are so much hairier and more sativa / hybrid looking so far. The other two have more of a indica / hybrid look to them. The PPMs are sitting in the 950 - 1150, and the pH is still set at 6.1 every 24 hrs usually from the 4.5-5.1 range. Day 72/22 Added 2ml of Clonex and 1/8 tsp of Kool bloom per bucket. Ppms still in 950-1150 range. GZ1 has visible trichomes on it, the other two GZs not yet. 818#2 has a hash tip forming. Plants looking suuuuuuper & seemsto have picked up the pace. Let's keep this momentum going๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Day.74/24 This has been an exciting week. Everyday the garden is growing flowers and I'd be lying if I said that' not the point. I started to do some light stress training basically just spreading the branches to make for a more even canopy. I started with all three Gorilla Zkittlez since in my opinion, they needed it the most. After that I thought I was done because everything else has its own natural shape that is looking good and I really don't like to touch things if I don't have to: to learn what the plant likes to do naturally. For instance the raspberry diesel is naturally spreading itself out (and smells so freaking sweet and delicious right now by the way) with no help from me I literally do not need to light stress train any of RD because it reaches out for the light itself and gives itself plenty of room. How ever After sitting back and mulling it over I decided to light stress train (LST) 818 headband AKA Sour Kush#1. Wow. when spreading apart the canopy to let light reach into the innards of the plant I realized the buds are huge in places where light was not touching, going all the way down the branches already. Compared to everything else on the side of it so far 818 seems to have double the amount of calyx and flower plant material already and even triple the amount compared to raspberry diesel. Very excited to see the outcome of all of these plants and especially if this 818 continues to go the way it's going ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿคฉ Did I mention I like keeping things barebones, minimalistic, and simplistic? The least amount of work for the most amount of quality is always what I strive for, and when I find the balance between the two is when I have found my work (nugs) is the most rewarding. that being said 818 is sticking out in my mind as a keeper. however I should also mention that I am very picky when it comes to smell, taste, and experience (high/medicinal value etc)and those being the final factors we will have to wait to see whether or not this 818 sticks around. And that also means that all the other strains still have the potential to be keepers as well ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Hm, that's all I can think of for now to report as usual I will add anyting I can remember or any new finds along the way. Thanks for looking! and feel free to throw any comments or questions suggestions etc โœŒ๏ธ

Has anyone any relevant and useful knowledge in light schedule (ie. 12/12 or 6 on 6 off) manipulation, even if experimental data or personal experience?

The plants need 12 hours of UNINTERRUPTED darkness to flower, which means that something like 6/6 will not trigger flowering. What I've read about is something called extended light schedule: With a digital timer, you set lights for periods of 21:36 hours (21 hrs 36 mins) and lights off periods of 12 hours), this will give you an exact week that has 5 extended days (for a total of 33 hours 36 mins per "day"). The data I read states that the aditional light hours increases yield. Also important, going over 21 or 22 hours of light does nothing since there's a point where the added light reaches a saturation point and the plant can't use it. I havent tested it though

Don't plan on topping. Someone want to talk me into it? Just weigh out some pros and cons; and I'll pick the most informative and relevant answer, and maybe even change my mind. ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘

Hi there @Green_Friends_Inc! The apical meristem (top bud site) uses Auxin to restrict secondary buds sites from developing in a process called Apical dominance. This allows for higher amounts of hormones to be delivered to the leading bud sites compared to the side-shoots. This is why we Top our plants!! By removing/topping the apical budsite you are turning the the next two stems into apically dominant sites leading to a more even distribution in Bud growth a wider plants. Topping is all about distributing the hormones equally to more branches as apposed to the single Apical bud site! Its a very good technique to use when trying to maintain a shorter bulkier plant. I know you aren't topping this cycle, but perhaps I convinced you for the next one haha best of luck friend! ๐Ÿ˜Ž
