so is any one else doing 6hr days and 12 hour night in thus that every day is really 2 days, well 2 day cycles so in your plant only mesures cycles and not hours.

i am on my second week with this cycle the only thing i have noticed is i have bud sites in 2 weeks when it usuly takes me 3 weeks to see them.

so i need a 14 day 220v timmer been doing it with 24 hr timmer so i need to set it every day but.

Interesting concept. Why 6/12 though, I would think day/night timing should be equal as with 12/12. Maybe 8/8, so you get 3 cycles every 2 days.

Take note: this is just a suggestion for an experiment, most likely won't work, but would be cool.

no you need the 12 hours of night to force bud

Yeah, longer nights cause the flowering hormone to develop

It would seem that the less light during the day would mean less bud growth. right?

well you still get the same amount of light in 24 hours just separated by 12 hours of night
so you have 6 light 12 night 6light

12 /12 just not the whole 12 at a time




now i read this here and on anther site but now i cant find it.

so its like.. light/dark/light every day? thats just off settings it by a few hours

this made me wonder, once i get like halfway through flowering can i go and bump the lights up to like 15 or 16 hours?

Nope.
Extend that formula for a three day run:
Monday 12 AM: 6 ON, 12 OFF, 6 ON
Tuesday 12 AM: 12 OFF, 6 ON, 6 OFF
Wednesday 12 AM: 6 OFF, 6 ON, 12 OFF

12 hrs light for the first day,
6 hrs of light for the second day,
6 hrs of light for the third day.
You'll lose 12 hrs of light in that 36 hr span.

You've added an extra "day cycle" by lowering the plants allotted time to convert food.
It seems off to me.
The more the plant can process, the better.
More materials, a bigger house. More slop, a fatter hog.

i smell hermies but what the fuck do i know i say try it
