Autoflower metabolism and sleep patterns

[pedro de pacas]

Yeah, was talking about auto's as well, grow on 24 hr, and leave them on 24 hour to flower when they are ready, 

instead of going 12/12 for normal plants and forcing there readiness 

 

 

more trivia, when I bring them in from out in the sun to under the 1000 w's, half of them go to sleep

Cause the sun is stronger then any fucking light.

Transpiration is the other big one, all three work together, photosynthesis traps light which triggers transpiration where water leaves the plant as gas, as one molecule of water transpires to the environment another enters through respiration.

 

I know these plants have already yellowed but what you're seeing is a transpiration issue caused by a lack of respiration at the roots. Same as humidity and temps, when they go out of balance, the plant loses more water than it can take in. Then stomata close to limit water loss and once they close photosynthesis can't take place.

 

What you're seeing when you shut the lights down is closed stomata, stomata close under low light and at night, same same as above. This is why you're not supposed to water at night, water a couple of hours before lights out, etc etc. With stomata closed they can't get rid of water.

 

Personally I reckon they do well either way, when things are dialled in they don't shutdown at all, I like to give mine a night cycle though.

This what I cut my teeth on, look at that shit bud on the cover, then overgrown came along. Anyone remember rolling up at forums to DEA notices?
