I have a plant in the Bay Area that is getting it’s lighting cues from sunrise/sunset times.
It is a Super Blue Dream clone that started into flower during the rooting process (my lighting goof up).
It’s been normal”ish” for a couple months, growing along happily, throwing 3 and 5 finger leaves.
A week prior, I had it set for 16 hrs on, 8 hrs off. Now, its getting 14hrs 47min light, but looks like it started to stretch about a day ago and is really getting into it Today!
Tons of white hairs popping out in pairs, I suppose marking budsites.
The growth points all have that bright green “overdrive” look to them.
All branches look like they grew noticeably overnight and are pointing right at the light!
My question is why? Why now?
Does revegging leave a tendency towards flowering?
Would that reduction in light (16:00 hrs to 14:47 hrs) be enough to signal the change in life?
I was trying to mimic the solar cycle with the LED lighting, expecting flowering to initiate on July 31.
Maybe I’m going to have an early harvest? At least in the Bay Area. I’ll need to give that plant in the foothills a look to see it it’s doing the same. It’s been growing at a stretch rate for about 4 weeks now, but last I looked (Friday evening), it didn’t have the stretch color going on.
