GMO$? $$$
M'well, if it can be tran$fered to a plant like mu$hroom$ this sure might be¢ome tri¢ky to $pot ¢ompared to ¢annabi$!

I saw a picture of one with frilly leaves, still the same basic shape but each lobe was really loopy along each edge in curves so it was well disguised.GMO$? $$$

Certainty? Great for you, just prove it now...

Things were going well then I had some small weak plants, nearly ran out of smoke myself, not risking that again, lol.
I was lucky to get more free seeds, this time a "honey cream fast flowering" hermied all over an amnesia and a blueberry. The plants were a mild smoke themselves but produced hundreds of seeds and matured quickly. I have had seeds germinate after 5 years. I currently have a white widow plant that I was given the seeds of in 2020, but usually two years and they start losing that ability to make it big.
How should I store them? Is it true they use up their limited energy if kept too cold, like in a fridge? Or is that freezers, and fridges are ok?

I'm just guessing Norway's Svalbard global seeds vault wouldn't exist if cold were of no use at all, and yet it doesn't necessarily imply the shelf life of seeds can be extended indefinitely. In any case the announced topic from the title on top refers to non-terrestrial days of 21 hours per period and i can positively believe it's quite likely some foolish idea to experiment this with "photo" genetics.

Yes, I started this thread after having exactly that foolish idea.
I've since found the best way to make them mature quickly is to treat them like queens. They can be fussy little buggers and if they have everything they need to hand (or root) they will do the business quicker than if they are sick and struggling. Basically I've to visit them more often!

Well i dared ask a very similar question in 2017 and got essentially crucified for it, maybe even before. This all started after reading about yet another "crazy" idea:
So when i read about short nights i thought why not 16 h days made of 12 h daylight and 4 h darkness, which seemed close enough to me, except i'd only apply it to autofem genetics knowing those don't care much at all:
As a bonus i added a stealthy concept dealing with smart meters snooping, by combining 3 cultivation spaces together so to silence it's schedule signature, as if a powerful lamp stayed on all day and nothing more. Doing so would result in time-compressing 3 synthetic non-earth days into the normal 2, e.g. in principle a 33 % gain of cultivation time which in turn is likely to imply a somewhat lesser vulnerability to infestations usually appearing in the worse period possible: flowering.
Gas Lantern Routine (12-5½-1-5½ schedule)

What does the Gas lantern routine achieve? It looks like a recipe for hermies to me, that one hour light breaking their sleep? They love their 12 hours rest, unbroken if at all possible was my understanding of it.Well i dared ask a very similar question in 2017 and got essentially crucified for it, maybe even before.

The subject gets debated often, here's a couple articles covering the history behind its reasoning:
Gas Lantern Routine (GLR): how to improve the yielding capacity of marijuana whilst saving energy (2024-Jan-12)
All you need to know about the Gas Lantern Routine to grow cannabis (2024-Apr-13)
Hummm... I wouldn't be so sure about that, the way i remember it coïncides with an answer i got from Google when questioned, which in short revolves around « cell division » causing cannabis roots to grow during the night, whatever, etc. And when i querry on « "Gas Lanter Routine" "Bruce Bugbee" GLR » then nothing pops up to read - but this could as well be a consequence of Trudeau's so-called "légaleezation" actually suppressing search results locally. Yet there were no related videos on YouTube neither and i find that quite a bit odd at best.
Delayed bloom makes some sense to me if it's verified, which i'll never know 1st-hand because our right to home-cultivation been confiscated to serve political agendas. I can only suppose the plant would have more time to grow some stronger stalk before it goes into its flowering phase, while i do like thick stalks combined to the lowest possible cotyledons, which i've personally achieved using lots of blueish CFL light starting right at seed sprouting. That was before Québec's liberals got their bigot prohibitionist law voted unanimously just a month from Trudeau's electoral victory... Politics ruins ordinary people lives all too often these days!
Back to your type of topic, before i turn totally acidic, it's been quite a long while ago so i forgot most of the details but it seems my 2nd illustration is missing a complement: e.g. if we're in need to achieve a time-balanced energy load then there would have to be 4 time-shifted trios for a grand total of 12 light-insulated cultivation spaces exactly. So if 1 tent consumes, say, 400 Watts, euh... It would translate as almost 15 Kilo-Watts i think, would it not?
Euh... At least that's not 2.1 Giga-Watts or this could even require plutonium!
