I've seen so many dumb threads in this section that belong in newbie section so I guess nobody will mind if I post this here.
Anyway, my question is why 12/12? Who came up with this?
I've been thinking how it isn't really the switch from 18/6 to 12/12 and the much lower amount of light that causes flowering, but the fact that the plant is sensing a constant decrease in the amount of light each day.
Anyone know how strong is the light from 5-9AM where there is no direct light hitting the plants?
If you think about how it is in nature, plants outdoors are flowering right now, and they get at least 14 hours of light each day. (at least mine are)
This amount decreases little by little as we get closer to winter.
So, I was wondering if 14/10 would give better yields / better bud. Perhaps we could slowly lower it from 18/6 to 14/10 and then to 12/12 and see at which point it triggers flowering.
However, I read an experiment that 15/9 in flowering resulted seemed to be the limit before the plant would revert to veg or stay in veg resulting in slowed growth.
