Fractional Force Flowering (FoFF)

#436099 - 06/22/10 11:12 AM (14 years, 6 months ago)

Force flowering indoors is the norm in fact you would have to have a pretty elaborate set up
to not force flower indoors. Switching from 18/6 to 12/12(or w/e you use) is just how its done.
with that said outdoor growers have fluctuating light cycle unless traditional force flowering is used.

Traditional outdoor Force Flowering
Putting plants in dark room or a closet,If not possible make covering with black polyethylene material.
Cover your 12hours a night for two weeks and they will start flowering immediately.

so this is to say
" You are going to have to cover and uncover them until mother nature turns her hours to 12/12.
if ya do it for 2 weeks and then stop they will convert to vegging unless mother natures hours are
12/12" also " exact timing too or they can get shocked.
and do not subject them to any stronger light than what a full moon would give in their dark 12 hours,
or else you can easily get hermies. "

Plants in the northern hemisphere will flower when the light cycle is reduced enough for the plats
to react.the end of July to beginning of august have abut 14 hours of light. This is when everybody
expects to see signs of pre flowers.

My scenario
i have two flowering plants raised on 16 hours of light. they can use 11 weeks of flowering time for
proper maturity.They were brought out on summer solstice where naturally they start to receive 15 hours
of receding sunlight. This is on June 21st still about 40 days from flower time in my area.

My proposal that i would like to call Fractional outdoor Force Flowering(FoFF)
Give the plants a week to realize they are at 15 hours, say until July first
then after they slightly adjusted to the 15, switch them over to 14 right way

if i put the bags on at 8 pm on July 1st the plants would feel like its early august
in the northern hemisphere the light cycle for July first is
"Sunrise: 5:28am
Sunset: 8:31pm"
August 11Th VVVV
Sunrise: 6:01am
Sunset: 8:00pm

so your only cutting off abut a half hour of light a night but outdoors it should make almost a month
difference.
also I'm proposing the bag only needs to be on for an hour or two max no need to leave it on over night
and or wake up at a certain time to take off the bag.

Cover the plants religiously for 40 day to gain almost 6 weeks flower and end up perfectly synced with
the natural light cycle as to not stress them
If you break the 14 hours of light cycle before July 30th it will revert to vegetative stage.Apparently even a few minutes of anything more than a full moon will do this. so missing a day can spell disaster.
you could say this is more for getting a longer flowering time not for flowering earlier.

does anyone see any problem with this idea
does it hold water?
can Fractional Force Flowering work outdoors to get to flowering quicker?
please explain to me any problems you have or let me now if you think this will work.

Back the tape up. I need it again!
Let it roll! Just as high as the fucker can go!
And when it comes to that fantastic note

I want you to THROW THAT FUCKING
RADIO INTO THE TUB WITH ME!
Not me. It would blast you through
the wall stone dead in ten seconds and they'd make me explain.
