Thanks, I really appreciate it.
The 12hr light cycle is gonna take some getting use to. Kept having to resist checking on them last night after lights out at 7:30… ended up turning lung room lights to green only to peek in on em at midnight I just couldn’t hellp’it 
My Maui FIM seems to have been just that, F#$# I Missed, the sides and main stem stretched and the center is a twisted funky mess on a short stick

Yeah, I definitely remember what it was like not being able to look at them for a whole 12 hours every day, lol, it’s like torture!
I’ve been doing 16/8 with my autos for the last few years to try and reduce electric costs, but on my current grow I went back to 18/6. I was trying to keep them a bit on the shorter side by increasing the DLI a bit. It’s nice only having to wait 6 hours to check in on then again!

I hear ya, before the flip they were 20/4 so it was always on when I’m awake. Trying to keep dli up without turning them into taco salad, had light over MBAP at 70% with 48 avg dli that dropped to 30ish so I increased to 100% and she threw a hissy fit so turned it down to 80% I’ll ease it back up over this coming week when she’s to busy eating to notice

Has anyone flowered inside with lights at 14 hrs on instead of 12?

For a spell not entirely, on some grows I flipped gradually so might have been a few days or a week on its way to 12-12 I forget. but 10hrs dark is enough to flower a photoperoid plant

I’m thinking about running it 14 hr on, easier to maintain DLI and gives me more time. I’ve read some articles that said 10 off is minimum but wanted to check

Here is an interesting article on photoperiod/skotoperiod and light interruption.

Extend your dark period to the same or more and it should be fine. But I’d do this when flipping idk how they will react if you are already in flower. I’d imagine they’d try to reveg.

Ok I appreciate it. I’ll be liking the extra time to tend to em if needed B4 & after work too

Week 6 up, 2 weeks in flower for MBAP. I’m amazed at her nute & water in take, 2 gal in 1.75 out every dang day,
its about double of what it was using organic soil vs the ME coco peat this round. She grew 1" this week to 30" and just as round, she’ll
keep inching taller as she flowers if it goes like my first grow.
MW day 39 up, day 1 pre-flower. She’s had a busy week, she was 18" last week now she’s 30", same as her sis!!
I flipped to 12/12 last week. A few day’s afterward I changed it to 14/10, I had read that 10 to 10.5 hours dark period will flower most strains.
I also remember last spring when I joined I saw plants on here that were started inside under 18/6 then set outside with a photoperiod around 14/10 or greater and they would flower then reveg as the day’s got longer, so I’m gonna give it a shot. It will increase DLI and give me more time with them after work.
I was expecting it to take longer for her to start the stretch and grow stigma but this is my first photo, hopefully she’ll start flowering we’ll see what happens.
MW FIMTop flop has one very small cola from her stem nub, its about 10" shorter than the two that grew from it.
Tent shot…I like the way Maui Waui is going despite the jacked FIM and two branch mishaps. I wonder if grown outside if I could hang a hammock
on MW’S fat bottomed branches.

Oh I forgot, imagine that…I’ve been lowering dark period temps by 10-12° this last week.
Maui Waui looks like she’s itching to flower

Looking excellent! I think our MBAP’s are going to have jackpot yields, lol. I’m happy with all my girls in this run, but the MBAP’s are fattening up faster than the rest of them.

And eating everything in sight!! At least mine decided she was tall enough, leaves about 10" until light gets in the way. I didn’t want to prune a bunch of branches but they’re fighting for elbow room. MBAP looks like she could fill my 2x4 all by herself without scrog, she’s squeezed in there so tight she’s got them hips up against three tent walls now as it is

Yeah, I can’t wait to see how they finish up.
I’ve vowed not to buy anymore seeds until I use up some of my current inventory, but I’ve broken vows before, lol. One of my favorite Mephisto strains has been Creme De La Chem. I’ve grown 10 of them, and they were all awesome. Well, they now have a cross between MBAP and CDLC, and I don’t see how I can possibly start my next grow without trying them, especially now that I’ve seen the MBAP is indeed what they say it is, lol.

I hear ya, I started growing last May with a purchase of 40 ILGM seeds of 2 strains cause hey that’s a better deal than 5 each, then wanted to try ILGM Maui Waui then Meph’s MBAP & HB Haze + Walter White freebie, then RQS had 40% off some strains I watched others grow out really fast plus a CBD auto I want to try & freebies…so here I am 6 months later having used 5 of the 50 and 10 more being delivered next week. One tent, 60 seeds, 1 clone started, legal limit 4 @X, 3-4 months a grow… this keeps up I may need a support group for my seed addiction
It is growing in line with their description so far… size, shape & nute needs if she keeps building this quick she may be done 70-80 days from sprout like they claim. She’s developing a curious nose to her, hard to describe, started out skunk at week 2 which I didn’t expect so soon now it’s sweet/skunkish/fruitangy looking forward to seeing what she does.

Lol, I got that email also.
Back when I switched to autos, I had an awesome collection of photo period seeds from many breeders. Once I realized how much I loved growing autos I gave my photo seeds away to my friends. I told myself I wouldn’t go off the hook with auto seeds the way I had with the photos, but that didn’t last long. Between Mephisto and ILGM I have a few hundred seeds in my safe right now, and every time I get online I find more that I want, lol. I also gave Graysin my word that I was going to pick up some Yeti Wedding Autos before my next grow, so I have to do that as well. I guess I should just accept that I’m an addict and I need help, lol.
