good question about growth!!!!

[kirky2k4]

when a plant is put into flowering do they grow more in the 12 hours dark or the 12 hours light

 

[jlang309]

a plants growth is based on a 24 hour day cycle. when flowering, they need darkness. try using 12 hour day and a 8 hour night. and cycle.

 

[kirky2k4]

wot a dumb ass u gota use the full 24 hours with 12/12 or 13/11 all i was saying is , is there more growth in the dark or light

 

[On3Tim3OnLy]

LOL yh it is its cycle .
but yh science more light more growth but the plants on plant earth need that cycle 18/6 VEGGING (SUMMER) /// 12/12 FLOWERING (WINTER)
keep to the book
and remember 18/6 make it grow but 12/12 makes it flower and grow.

Personal opinion for me is More at night.

But I think its cause I watch them all day and dont notice differences, but when they wake up Im like DAMN they grew.

Really good question BTW +1

interested to see others opinions.

think of the science more light more growth but the plants on plant earth need that cycle 18/6 VEGGING (SUMMER) /// 12/12 FLOWERING (WINTER)
But thats why people try 24/0 but if anything your gonna get a hermie plant (HE-SHE)

 

[mreverything]

who really cares. Besides they probably grow the same ammount in the dark and light. I see it this way in the dark the plant isnt using as much energy soaking up the light instead it is using its energy for photosynthesis, and in the light its using its energy on not photosynthesis but on soaking up the light. probably same ammount of energy so same ammount of energy put on growing for the plant

 

[On3Tim3OnLy]

Who reli cares no one . WTF
but um if any thing the plant will grow roots to look for water or nodes start to get ready but the light is the growing time lol

 

[UKcyrus]

i care because if they grow more in the dark id try sumthin like 11/13 two more hours in the dark growing!! see if it makes a diffrence with the bud size or sum shit like that....

 

[On3Tim3OnLy]

OMG lol just try it HERMIE coming up .
the plants only look grow and all the rest coz the cycle 18/6 (SUMMER DAYS) 12/12 (WINTER DAYS)

 

[On3Tim3OnLy]

i fucked my the time zone on my first one didnt get alot of bud because of hermie was there playin around in there . lol

 

[kirky2k4]

i know for a fact that is you use 11light13 dark quicker budding and 13light and 11dark longer budding but more bud.

so oviously 12/12 is a good ratio..... go any more than 11/13 and they will become he/shes lol....

 

[On3Tim3OnLy]

Thats what im saying man
fuck around with time zones (18/6)(12/12) KEEP TO THE BOOK UNLESS YOU WANT A HE-SHE

 

[kirky2k4]

only time i alter light is when i go from veg to flowering i add a 36 hour dark in there which makes sexing quicker

duno if you ppl tryed this but works realy well you can sex in like 1-2 days

 

[On3Tim3OnLy]

Yh my mate says that .. i might have to try it.

I do that also, we come out of 24 hours to 36 hours dark.

it helps the plant realize OH Its time to flower now....

 

[On3Tim3OnLy]

Yh im gonna try that see if the plant flowers faster to start with.

 

[kirky2k4]

u can usualy tell the females in the first 24 hours if u do it this way

 

[ganjagoddess]

I have heard of people leaving them in dark for as much as 96 hours, but to me thats overkill.

 

[On3Tim3OnLy]

Yh 96 is well to much .
36 seems about right and the science is there ... the plant knows that winter(12/12) is there
