I just need to know why this is important ?

It will vary with strains, so there is no one valid answer ?

Fast. For an experiment, wait until your timer shuts off the lights, and come back in a 1/2 hour and look (quickly) how your plants have drooped. Pretty cool

Heres what happened. My timer was going off early. But I didn't know how early so I waited to see when it went off so I can adjust the timer. So when I took a second look it was off already but 10 minutes prior to that it was on. So anyways I turned it back on and waited until the correct time and turned it off so that it'll be on the right time. I am asking this because i needed to know if I may have accidently sent them back to veg

They do relax, and on my plants, at least most of them, when the lights are on, the leaves are up, pointing towards the light. I have forgotten to close the door to my room sometimes, and in that dark area, even though not completely black, most, if not all leaves are down after an hour That's what I have found to be the case in my rooms

Thanks bro. I think they will be fine. I don't even think the lights were off for 10 minutes

i doubt they are back in veg mode. just try to give them at least 12hrs of uninterrupted darkness.

All that will happen is that you missed one day closer to finish. It will take a week of bringing it back to veg running at 18/6.

i haven't noticed that. i'll come in right before lights on sometimes and they are still perky.

Yea mostly it's the Indicia dominants that I have found that to be true. Sativa dominants don't seem to droop much. Maybe I just have a lot of deadbeat plants (lol)

Technically, Once exposed to the 730nm band light for the proper amount of time IN NATURE.....About 2 hrs to "sleep" as you might put it.
RM3 is correct as I found playing with supplemental 730nm lighting....It does differ between strains.....
Now then, If you use a supplemental 730nm for about 10 min at just before to just after lights out....THAT put them to "sleep" right there with that 10 min!

Dude, I'm retired. Have been for several years now.....I run the farms (co-op) still but that's nothing.....Will be "on tractor" later this week bro!

Hmm, I should go down county to the new dairy operation and see how the organic change over is going.....Got over a year yet to go for certification.
