No he said 24/0...and 6/18 for flowering
24/0 is not good for long periods...it could help seeds to develop faster for 5/7 days maximum...then girls need to sleep(like every life form I guess!) so 18/6 (99% of growers use 18/6 & 12/12 as it is the better photoperiod for mj!)
You can stay with 13/11 but flowering will be a bit longer but with a better crop...!
I hope this time every parameters would be better and understand!
But now you have no excuses...lol...we going to keep an eyes on you...!!!

@torontoke was doing a similar schedule, you guys should compare notes.

I'm not saying it's the most productive schedule- yield lacks- but there isn't any doubt that it works.

Plants start to flower well before equinox, so for most photomorphogenic strains (not autos) that's 10.5-11 hours of darkness. Tropical sativas will continue to grow and stretch during flower. Longer night cycle is said to hasten finish, I haven't seen anything definitive on that.

If you're trying to save power I understand, but it is hurting your yield. That's a tradeoff where you get to decide what's right for you. Another option would be more/brighter lighting on a shortened light schedule.

I agree. Hell, switch to 10 light 14 dark the first week then go 12/12. Indoor growers want their plants to grow bud. Lots of it. So they want girls thinkin it's time to do that when they start flowering.

No worries on power consumption. Will swith to 12/12 asap. Im thinking I'll leave the CFLs as is and add 5 red LEDs for both bushes.

Actually when you reduce light hours you speed up flowering. The plants are shocked into finishing in fear of a change and receiving even less light. Many growers and breeders use 11/13 for a flower cycle and believe it's better than 12/12.
I think @ttystikk was right tho every grower will have to try things and decide what's best for them and their situation.
Don't think that 18/6 then 12/12 is the only way.

Thank, good to scare them, panic even better lol.

I didn't realize how big the leaning curve is or how much of a time and material investment there was going to be. Looking forward to the stink! lol.

There's no scare or panic
Learn things by trying them yourself.
Because everyone is so motivated by squeezing every last gram out people are afraid to try things.
