hi im late into flowering it is now almost 70 days flowering (blue dream matic) ive had it on a 24h light schedule,since veg,bottom 3/4 of the plant have calyxes with many pistils,but the top of the plants just have swollen calyxes foxtails i think they are called.
some have just 2 pistils coming from them but they have gone brown/orange,i see no bannana growing from any calyxes just 2 pistils very swollen cayxes.i took i cut one top caylxe off to see whats going on and there is no seed forming no dust just a fleshy juicey /wet looking inside.im thinking the 24 hour light has put them back into reveg..
would it be advisable if i took it down to 20 hours light to give the plant a rest but ive read it may turn herm if i do that at this stage..
in russia it has 24 hours light parts of the year i seen a sunset at 3am and at 12;30am there is still light 10 pm people were still at the parks plenty of light it does not go fully dark,so i tried this out being a ruderalis cross strain..
im no expert by any means its my 1st grow, but maybe crossing the strain and giving it full light aint the best idea for BDM strain should i tough it out and stick with 24hour or drop it a few hours? i use a 250w led at 19in height,23c ambient temp...it aint heat stress more light stress maybe??any thought on this would be appreciated thank you in advanced......an article from royal queens seeds---
As autoflowering plants do not rely on hours of light to tell them when to flower, they can be subjected to a 24- hours of light throughout their growth cycle. In fact, many growers believe 24 hours of light is crucial when growing autoflowering plants, as it may give them the best chance to grow bigger in the vegetative stage and then eventually flower accordingly.Cannabis is classed as a C3 plant, meaning it can absorb CO₂ during periods of light for photosynthesis. This theoretically eliminates the need for darkness, as they do not need periods of dark to photosynthesis, unlike C4 plants. Autoflowering plants have also evolved in the northern areas of the world where they receive near to 24-hours of light as standard during the seasons of growth. As such, it is safe to say that autoflowering cannabis can thrive under 24-hours of lighting.
