Tried something different.... and gave this Back to the Future II 36 hours of darkness to force her into flower. Cannabis plants have light receptors, phytochrome red and phytochrome far red. They are color pigments in the leaves that absorb red light in a specific way causing a chemical reaction that tells the plant to stay in veg or to begin to flower. If phytochrome far red is present, the plant stays in the vegetative state . If you give your plants 36 hours of darkness, you are forcing the phytochrome far red out, so that the plant will have no choice but to flower. This also forces the sex of the plant to show sooner, so if you're dealing with regular seeds, this will pop those pistols faster. Or, show me the bananas!🍌I love how the lack of light cause such a dramatic color variation in the new growth. I love cannabis.
