No, I don't think so. Most strains will not flower until they measure at least 10-12 hours of darkness. I can't remember the exact science behind it, but there is a chemical that builds up during darkness that needs to reach a critical point before the flowering response is activated. If light is introduced before this point, the chemical is depleted and the plant remains in veg mode.

Or something like that.

cool, good answer. I know that cannabis is a short-day flowering annual so the primary factor influencing buds is short nights of 12 hrs or less.
I guess 8 hrs might be too short.

Well i spent all night/morning reading about folkes who tried it,and can honestly say a side by side must be done to see how this works in comparison to 12/12...
I am going to do 2 grows :1 x 6/12 and 1 x 12/12 same strain,same moms,same medium etc so we can see how this works.I might not use co2 to keep it easy,but well see.
Stay tuned

I'm prettys sure this will make a worthy story for the magazines when finished for the publish. I think it would be uber cool to see how the harvest master stacks against the solotel for round two of testing. By the time you have answeres to this I'll be able to pick up a harvest master pro.

I got a heavy duty digital timer from lowes for $18 with up to 14 presets or it can actually duplicate your natural local light cycle if you want.
