Current experiment - 48 hour lighting cycles

using deep red apparently causes plants to "sleep" faster a few people are running 10/14 and flowering just as hard as running 12/12 using deep red for 15mins at lights off and 15mins before lights on

It poses the question of what is optimal not what can be made to work

If there is some kind of light that will give you the night time effect in a short space of time

Then the real trick is knowing exactly how long to run your lights till the plants need to be reset so you can blast them with lights again

and no one seems to know

does running 6/6 work ? does running 24/12 work ? can anyone flower a sativa dom at 20/4 ?

Every time I`ve asked people this all I`ve ever got back was words never pictures or a grow diary or anything

I see people run auto`s 24/0 but no one flowering regs with anything less then 10 hours of darkness and if anyone is using less then 8 hours "dark" they aint posting it online and showing the world yet

konasurre run 6/6 tell us how it goes mate

if using 730-750nm as the lights go out you can flower at 15hrs light on 9 hrs off. but i use 13.5 hrs on and my reds kick on for about ten minutes and then poof instant sleeping beauties i have had twie tried this setup and 31 days to flower and 38 days to flower awesome science if you utilize it.
