Ill sub when you start I hav heard of this but in all honesty don't think so I think they'll stretch and get really leggy with the extended night period but never have seen a journal documenting it

I only read the first few posts so i apologize if i repeat anything said but, the whole "natural" thing is just stupid if you want your plant to grow naturally put it in the ground oitside, now however if creating the perfect environment for growth while saving money and decreasing your consumption of fossil fuels via decreased energy bills then gaslight might be worth a shot the money saved over the 18/6 schedule is astronomical not to mention the decreased ecological impact ( and lets face it if you grow organic and dont live as sustainably as possible your missing a big part of the eqation) ive never used it but ive heard sativas love it and youll save time in flowef because they are always in a state of pre flowering almost. Indicas on the other hand dont like it so much from what ive heard around forums.
So if saving money, the environment and some fliwering time sounds good i would say give it a shot, record your data and rela it back to us here so we can all share and learn something from it.

The whole 'natural' thing...
The OP said that sleeping only 6 hours was unnatural. No where on earth do cannabis plants get 18 hours sunshine....
He then went on to advise 12 on, 5.5 off 1 on 5.5 off....
It MAY be effective but it sure aint 'natural'.
However, i'm not the organic recycled sandal wearing type...
So I think I'll try this on a few Indica's, next grow.
I'm pure INDOOR with limited space AND time so I cannot devote myself to Sat's.

This grow is a GLR throughout veg and flower. He shares his thoughts about GLR and DLS in the final harvest video. If your not a sub yet you really should be. Medicropper deserves your appreciation!

Did you get to try this? I have heard of using 18/18 met a guy in the Dam yesterday who had kind of a Yoda buzz going on and he swears by the 18/18 grow cycle he said he uses it on autoflowers too

A lot of "I'm going to do this or journal this" with no reports or side by sides.

Some folks seem to discredit Joe Pietri but, he has a column in Skunk mag. and a healthy following on Facebook (I don't Facebook) He calls it the 12-1 method. He cites Nelson's Green House Guide as his grow bible and refers to chapter 12 in said that refers to the GLR/12-1 as a staple in C3 floral commercial growing for saving money and increasing profit buy reductions in electrical costs and the shortening of flowering times.
He has been one of the leading theory testers on this subject. He had his flower lighting times down to 8/16 with very good results. He was motivated to decrease that time further after he discovered a paper from 1913 France, by graduate student Julien Tournots listing a discovery stating that the Hops and Hemp plants he was testing "would flower the most rapidly when allowed only 6 hours of daylight" ! J.P. and his followers have tested this and reports "that the flowers grew faster then ever before." That is an exciting finding for those of us growing commercially for the medical market. It has a dramatic meaning for all growers.....
You only need courage to try it. I am going to very soon.....Maybe 2 ways. A sliding scale reducing flower lighting times to the 6/18 and a straight 6/18. Saving weeks of flower with a 50% reduction of lights on time is simply to interesting to pass up.

Kinda feel there may have been some other underlying problem there dawg....maybe low watt light or something else.
I just got back from the Netherlands and saw this method being used for commercial greenhouse size runs....Trust me, they where NOT getting lower yields.......I have become quite energized to give this a shot....I'm about 60 days from the start of my test....gotta get everything out of the test kitchen.....Kinda busy at the other place with getting ready to start the new strain run so 60 days is a safe guess......
I mean this has huge $ saving potential when coupled with the 8/16 or 6/18 flowering lights on time thing.....I can even begin to justify a new Perazzi trap gun set, why hell maybe even a Krieghoff set by saving that kind of money! (unless the wife reads this)

Yeah if the wife catches wind, all you'll be getting is a new Duvet and a fancy set of covers. On the plus side, at least you'd have a comfy spot to dream about those K-80s!

I'm cautious of this GLR, sure if you have a bunch of seeds to try it on ...Go for it, but most here buy their bunch of awf a distant shop, most the times many strains are involved, yet many growers prefer to feed all the strains the same food and the same light..so this GLR may well suit, many members have not the experience to recognize any deformities, and if they do so what...?
in most instances a grow is over in 3 months ..90 days,
but if you are a budding breeder and are enjoying it ...traditional shit does count, stick with the program, so there is once less god-damm issue to deal with
