"This explains every mysterious property about it. "It's a frozen iceberg of molecular hydrogen," said Darryl Seligman, an incoming UChicago postdoctoral fellow who authored a paper in Astrophysical Journal Letters laying out the explanation. But a new theory proposed by University of Chicago and Yale astronomers explains the phenomenon without aliens-but with interesting scientific implications. The object, which baffled astronomers and led some to claim it could be a spacecraft sent by intelligent life, was named 'Oumuamua, which means "messenger from afar arriving first" in Hawaiian. Our experts can at 76.That was the day telescopes picked up a strange object with an odd, elongated shape that moved like a comet-but had no apparent tail. Learn how Americover’s BOLD ® products can help you balance the light and darkness your plants require. The BOLD ® EZarm allows one person to easily cover and uncover a greenhouse without additional help, making the daily chore of light deprivation so much easier. Plus, the cover can be easily set or lifted with the BOLD ® EZarm Tarp Puller. The cover is scrim reinforced for superior tear resistance. To improve your harvest, you need to provide ample, reliable darkness for your cannabis, a good light deprivation cover and a tarp puller system will help you maintain your light deprivation schedule.Īmericover’s BOLD® Black Out Light Deprivation Tarp is the top-selling greenhouse cover of its kind nationwide, consisting of two sheets of high strength virgin polyethylene film laminated together with a third layer of molten polyethylene. Pulling tarps is a lot of work, but using the right tools and products makes all the difference. Is there a Way to Simplify Light Deprivation?Ĭovering and uncovering your greenhouse on a set schedule, day in and day out can be extremely time and labor intensive. That can pollinate females and ruin your plants. In fact, light interrupting its dark cycles can make cannabis so stressed and irritable that it can lead to hermaphroditism. The moon and stars don’t bother cannabis, but any artificial light can stop its bud growth. Just as your good REM sleep would be interrupted if a light popped on at 2 a.m., cannabis doesn’t fare well when any light disturbs it during its dark “sleep” cycle. What many growers don’t realize is that cannabis demands an uninterrupted dark cycle. Keep in mind that this schedule requires adequate ventilation, so some growers will choose to uncover their plants at night once the sky is completely dark. and uncover them at 7 a.m., be consistent with that schedule. If you decide on the classic 12/12 light dep schedule where you cover your plants at 7 p.m.

This is why indoor growers need to make a deliberate effort to not only create long, bright days but also emulate dark cycles for cannabis to grow large full buds. Nighttime provides darkness, keeping cannabis on somewhat of a natural clock. When you are ready for your cannabis plants to flower, a 12-hours of light and 12-hours of darkness schedule is standard. (Note that most indoor growers vegetate their plants 4 – 8 weeks.) The Flowering Stage of Cannabis In fact, indoor growers commonly use an 18/6 light to dark ratio to encourage faster growth. How Much Darkness is Needed? The Vegetative Stage of CannabisĬannabis in the vegetative stage (when it is growing at a rapid pace) needs at least 13 hours of light per day. That timing is critical to maximizing your yield. If you’re new to the strain (or growing), talk to old hands about when to end the vegetative phase and trigger your plants’ flowering phase. Depending upon the strain you’re working with as well as your environmental demands, your light-to-dark ratio will vary a bit. The result is seeds, which allow the plant to produce the next generation.Īs a cultivated plant, cannabis still responds to light changes. In nature, male cannabis sacs release pollen to pollinate female plants in blossom. That means when the days grow shorter, the plant’s life cycle is nearing its end, and flowering occurs for reproduction. Why is Darkness So Important?Ĭannabis is a photoperiodic plant that responds to seasonal changes in light. And whether your greenhouse sits in the Pacific Northwest under long summer days or in the hotter climes of the Central Valley, it’s essential to balance darkness and light for a maximum bud harvest. You may not think of the principles of yin (dark) and yang (light) when planning your light deprivation schedule, but savvy growers understand the dual needs of cannabis. Cannabis growers know darkness is as important as light.
