i did good ? xD grow box 0.14 square meters, 100w board on 75%, cheapest salts, White widow fem, homemade soil

I would be very disappointed if I had to wait 4 months to harvest buds like that...

Monster crop plant ?

Ascorbic acid along with Irrigating plants with hydrogen-rich water (HRW) can increase their ability to deal with excess light (high light stress) dramatically. If one would feel so inclined.

Well done John, great size for a little plastic bucket, little rough round the edges but onwards and upwards! Can't say I recommend that much changing of the light, a very very stressful thing for the plant, I've read it many times in the literature over the years and first hand experience of seeds in bud from doing so. Maybe switxh it one time.mid flower see how that works and the different light schedule will slightly alter the maturation speed of the floral development, if the goal posts are always changing it can be disruptful leading tonalot of jasmonic acid being released. When a plant encounters excess light past the limiting factor of carbon the plant is forced to use npq, NPQ, or non-photochemical quenching, NPQ is a process that is tightly regulated by and strongly correlated with the Xanthophyll cycle. In order to prevent the damage you must facilitate these process also otherwise the plant takes far more dmg. Very large portion of the plant's oxidative capacity/energy will need to be devoted to survival rather than rapid growth. Not beneficial to go over 40 dli without the carbon and temps to do so otherwise the metabolic pathways are not engaged and plant is forced to use non photochemical quenching. This is simplified but remains true once carbon reaches 1400ppm and heat is removed as a enzyme denaturing factor, the limiting factor of growth is how well the plant is able to protect itself from ROS and photooxidation. the fundamental physiological limitation is typically RuBP regeneration capacity or the resource limitation is nutrient availability. The plant's ability to provide photoprotection. In essence, while visible light provides the energy and pH signal for the rapid, dynamic operation of the xanthophyll cycle, UV light exposure influences the long-term capacity for this cycle and other protective mechanisms as part of the plant's acclimation response to a high-stress environment. How you that information is up to you. Best of luck John. Not all of us grow with the same purpose or goal, that's OK, keep pushing buddy.

You can see the reveg, which is all you've achieved by 24 hour light in flower? At what point in nature does anywhere feature 24 hour days? Usually, any action that doesn't happen naturally in nature (on earth) will not provide any benefits to your grow.

I have seen someone on here do very similar to you and they also got big colas that were fairly larfy also. Possibly the week of 24hr light is the one that causes them to be fluffy. But good on you for trying out different things. What would have been good for your experiment is if you had grown 2 cuttings one for the experiment and one in normal conditions so you could have compared the 2 at the end.

Nice.. A bit fluffy but there's alot of it so happy days..

Rare agree with 001. Like if you check my diaries, when I do photoperiod manipulation (and math it correctly on the DLI side) the hormonal impact, depending on the girl, is often more pronounced calyxes and depending on other factors can tend to foxtail. Which is exactly what I'm pushing for (shortened timelines and making washers out of non-washers). Anecdote but the only other time I can environmentally force such a pronounced response is by disrupting hormones the first few weeks of flower, which is generally a mega no-no.

Stem elongation, foxtials all over, loose, larfy buds... plus you tried to give 65+ DLI? So, a bunch of photo inhibition that likely correlates to the foxtailing and 2x electricty expense. The oddball 24/0 lighting in flower clearly caused stem elongation when you zoom in. Can see it all over the top colas, so it is safe to assume it happened below, too. Those aren't donkey dicks. They are a conglomerate of twigs. Try assessing the results honestly instead of trying so hard to prove yourself right. The larfy buds could be genetics, but my money is betting on the esoteric methods as the primary cause of what is seen here. Hey, if your goal was to make bubble hash, I bet this stuff exceeds expectations. That ice water will easily flow through the buds and efficiently knock off the trichomes. Keep doing whatever makes you happy, of course, but there is no circumventing the law of conservation of mass. You cannot manifest the extra carbon needed to make use of all that excess light. Atmospheric carbon alone will hit a ceiling for daily photosynthesis long before 60 DLI is reached. All the plant did was reduce aerial density of chlorophyl (or chloroplasts?) in leaves. It adapted to the excess light. Surviving does not mean it was a benefit. Can't make something from nothing. The amount of glucose produced from 65 DLI requires enough carbon ("limiting factor") and the atmosphere cannot provide that much under normal circumstances. Not only that, temperature and RH have to by tightly controlled to maximize daily photsynthetic potential too, if you want to try to make use of 60-65DLI. Gonna need 1300ppm co2 in the air. Even then, probably falls short of the theoretical maximum by some noticable amount.
