Ok I've now seen in writing now 2 very well thought of seedbanks that use 6/18 flower with great results. Can the experienced openly discuss please? Pros/cons.... Sounds like a great way to save electricity. I got not problem mentioning my internet reading....Subcool and Elite seedbanks.

you sure it wasn't 18/6 veg cycle? please paste the articles here.

weird ive never heard of that before, Maybe its good, you should leave some pics or links to website's that support this information +rep

so excited i pulled the muscle in my arm

I know for a fact about Elite but I am not going to his web site to search for obvious reasons in flower not veg. Very clear on that one....He mentioned it reduces bud growth very little vs electicity bills and used it 100% of the time so his pics. of awesome plants used that way. If you dare search the Elite web site it's in there in a thread someplace where he talks about his growing op?

I saw the comment on a Subcool thread as few days ago but my search has not come up with the person or link. I asked in a Subcool thread for reference help to be determined.

Are you talking about doing 12 hours light with 4 hours dark to get three light cycles in a 48 hour period? Craventes mentiones that in the bible but I can't figure out how to make the timer do it.

6 hours of artificial light is not gonna yield you too good

I heard from an old grower that you could do a 6 on 12 off schedule and would not affect yield much. I think they make digital timers that you can program for each day and have it repeat. So that way you could program everything in accordance to when you needed the lights to come on. First week would go something like this

Day 1 On 12:00am-6am Off 6am-6pm On6pm-12:00am
Day 2 Off 12:00am-12:00pm On 12:00pm-6:00pm Off 6:00-12:00am
Day 3 Off 12:00am-6:00am On 6:00am-12:00pm Off 12:00pm-12:00am
Day 4 On 12:00am-6am Off 6am-6pm On6pm-12:00am
Day 5 Off 12:00am-12:00pm On 12:00pm-6:00pm Off 6:00-12:00am
Day 6 Off 12:00am-6:00am On 6:00am-12:00pm Off 12:00pm-12:00am
Day 7 On 12:00am-6am Off 6am-6pm On6pm-12:00am

If you notice the cycle repeates every 3 full days

In a 7 day period you would have 10 light cycles...does that mean you could take a 60 day plant and finish it in 42???

I would love to see a side by side comparison of the same strain, same lights, same everything except 1 be 12/12 the whole way through, and 1 take on the 6 hours on 12 off approach
