Ok, well my older grower buddy has been doing this since the mid 80's late 80's and has been doing it ever since. Well according to him anyways lol.
Using this technique is pretty unique, according to him a lot of commercial growers are starting to revert back to this method aswell due to the rapid response in the plants and growth. It's also a "lost" technique too because so many people are sticking to the 24/0 20/4 or 18/6 veg cycle.
He's also claimed to never pull a hermie plant either.. I honestly believe him too, hes taught me a lot and he hasn't steered me in the wrong direction yet so I'm giving it a shot on my clones right now. I'll continue to watch the progress and document it aswell.
Ok so the veg cycle go like this....
12 hours on
5.5 hours off
1 hour on
5.5 hours off
This is a complete 24 hour cycle so after the 5.5 dark period you start the cycle over.
Then during flowering the first 2 weeks you keep your light cycle at 12/12
after that you decrease the amount of light each week by a half hour.
I know that this technique sounds alittle crazy but I walked into his garden yesterday and checked out the same blue dream as mine. Hes a week behind me aswell, but he's got buds the same size if not bigger. I'm alittle disappointed he didn't teach me earlier lol.

I guess it has a lot to do with the way plants are naturally grown? because I was reading another article on it, and they were talking about how it's not natural for clones, seedlings, etc to get 18 hours of light or more a day. Which makes sense to me, also they were claiming that 18/6 is better when you want to sex your clone and revert it back to veg. And the gas lantern technique helps promote more flowering hormones for the plant, so when you flip it you see sex pistoles and hairs within 48 hours of flipping your lights.

Yeah, there aren't very many people using this technique though. And some even try to push people away from this idea also. I'm not gonna bag on it untill I try it for myself. Which I'm in the process of doing. I just started my clones on this cycle. On my up and coming next batch I will be doing this technique. I've seen my buddy's plants jump from 4 inches to 14 inches in 1 week... It's insane..
