Light Cycle MADNESS!!! need a pros oppinion.

you can actually run 18 on 6 off if you prefer.

Dont know about the question 2, i know theres alot of little things you can do to make them better but have no ideas about the weird dark cycles people use....... ive heard people using 48-72 hours of dark to promote flower or make more resin, i never have had to, they just flower when i tell them to, and they make resin when they do.

I would run 18 on 6 off which is normally what I do, but im ganna be putting them in my clone box for the first week or so then throw them under the MH.

Yes, you can adjust the light schedule during veg, without ill effect to the plants.

umm i donno about 6 on 18 off for Question 2 but i know that if you put a couple of those UVB lights you can get at any pet store, they seem to make the plant protect itself from the uv rays and it makes a ton of resin. i tried it to see if it would work and my plants have so much sugar on them that they smell like the finest hash out there and there only3 and a half weeks into flower.

QUESTION NUMBER 2!!!!!!

I have 1 fem white widow seed and 1 fem white rhino that I plan on vegging then cloning into a small SoG, I was reading about WW and Greenhouse seeds talks about turning off the lights for the last 2 weeks or switching them down to 6 on 18 off. This supposidly triggers the plant into a frenzy to protect its self by producing more resin. I also would like to know if this is true and If so can this be done with White rhino?

All suggestions and comments are welcome. Im ganna go smoke a bowl now cause I havent written anything this long since highschool.

question 2-

i have heard of this with many strains, i also heard of leaving the lights off 2 days before harvest. But it has yet to have ever been proven to me.

I did it with sweet tooth once, and i noticed no difference. so i stopped trying after that. its possible since they made the seeds they would know best, its just never been proven to me. i would just do it normally, since i doubt it will do anything with WR. and you have other strains to worry about as well in your garden.

It will help the roots develope by giving it more darkness. plants need dark as well.

I have tried the lights out 48 hours before harvest, and I did see a slight difference.

But in all reality,
When you chop em down, there still alive and putting out resin in the drying area.

Why waste 2 valuable days without photosynthesis, Ya know.
