    Why would you only want the lights on 9 hrs a day during flowering? 9/15 means 9 hours on, 15 hours off.

    because i was told if you lower ur lighting to stay on only for 9 hours then ur plant has 15 hours of darkness meaning it will grow better because the buds grow when the lights are off ....

    Few questions: soil composition, technique, nutes used, amounts, your pH, watering schedule, amount & types of light used? (kelvin and wattage, please) (bulb spectrum at this point in the growing makes a good bit of difference)

    You want the 12/12 bro. THC production requires the proper quantity and quality of light. It seems that none of the biosynthetic processes operate efficiently when low light conditions prevent proper photosynthesis. Research has shown (Valle et al. 197 that twice as much THC is produced under a 12-hour photoperiod than under a 10-hour photoperiod.

    2500 lumens per square foot is recommended to grow. What ever your using cfl-led-hid.

    Hmm. Then 1 on, 23 off should produce enormous buds. You should try an experiment and let us know.
