Side canopy (tall plants) plus side lighting (vertical bulbs) makes for more yield. Now I suggest going back through the thread from the beginning and you can get a better picture of what I am saying but here is an example of why the trellis on the sides.

I purchased some double-sided single bar LEDs from Ecospeedled. Gave then to a mate to try as he grew similar to you. I saw a huge difference by standing them vertically through the middle of his plant. This whole concept has got me thinking. And what about the 16hr veg? My thoughts are. If a plant goes from 24hr to 12 hr would it go to head faster than from 18 or 16hr to 12hr flower cycle? Has anyone tested this? Does a plant learn faster to switch into flower if it goes from 24hr clone to 18,16hr veg then 12hr flower.? Or straight from 24hr to 12hr.?

Sounds like you have an experiment to run. lol

Honestly I would suspect that a shorter the day before the flip would result is a slightly quicker transition to flower than a longer day before the flip.

Do a a little research into florigen, it's something we are still learning about scientifically. I believe florigen receptors were first discovered this century (could be wrong).

This is just a very simplistic hypothesis that florigen is produced during the dark cycle and reduced during the light cycle. When it hits a critical level the plant is flowering. This is likely not the case but just a very simplistic explanation for how flowering is triggered.

In reality things are very likely much more complicated that that.

One thing I do know is that if you want a faster transition to flower you could start with a longer dark period on the first day of flip.

yes, we do 36 hr darkness on the flip.

I was down there mixing up some nutes and grabbed a few night shots of room B where they are flipping to flower.

This is the end of their first long dark cycle. I went with a 36 hour dark period to knock a few days off their transition as I think they are gonna blow the fuck up lol.

I will give them some good hard training today when the lights are on, and away we go!

Note: You can see the glow of my greed LED headlamp.

I will be moving plants into room A tomorrow so they can start vegging into the trellis as the ones in room B did for the first few weeks of this month.

Which room harvested the most when you got your 54 lbs. Room A or B? I am still reading through the thread and I gotta say wow. Lots of good info. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge Renfro.
