Understood! I respect that too.
No, doesn't work that way.... Once you have what you need to grow properly (light energy delivery) you will have the saturation point.
Your absolutely right. That's how a lot of misinformation gets started. I don't know the precise numbers but have a grasp on what works and the principles behind it. I am by no means an expert but personally 1200ppm works for me and my light is about 1500ppfd. I don't seem to need more than that and maybe could use less but it works for me. I have done countless hours of research over the past year and tweaking and still find myself with lots to learn and some info to pass on to others just getting goingUnderstood! I respect that too.
But, I had to point out that "ability to" thing for the masses that don't understand it. Someone will read that 1800 is better then 1500 (which he shouldn't try either) go set his ppm to that...
How many here can actually do the math and know the real numbers behind pairing ppm's to light energy?
Just giving them "the rest of the story"....
Not really. It still balances out to pretty much the make up of lost growth vs. the saturation point..
Might not be "needed" in some ways..
Ok, yes it increases growth but, not the kind of growth that helps much! Your going to find increased node spacing and that does not go away in bloom! The stretch is a bitch that way!
Definitely not a fact but if it works for you thats awesome! I do both. Moms on 18/6, clones 24 hours for 3 weeks then 1 week of 18/6 than blast off.
Fair enough, not throwing pics or swinging dicks. Not a professor and self read on the topic. If you know something i don't i would appreciate the info just for knowledge. Why do i get the feeling this has more to do with debating whether the plant is C3 or C4. Science changes over the years and I'm good with that. I learned differently.
Not pushing anything just some very recent information on the subject you may be interested in. Good argument about the microbes. Your 24 hr then 18/6 not gonna lie kinda peeks my interest but still not convinced.
Never.
I ran 6 hours on in veg and 2 hours off continuously in veg and the plants dug it.
Yeah i have considered a similar method in the past. I wish i was allowed more plants so i could actually experiment more with side by sides. What i do works for me but that doesn't mean there is not more effective ways. My self educated feeling is plants have a sort of internal clock that can be manipulated from seed (much like people adapt to different sleep patterns etc.). Its not a 24 clock, its what you make it but changing it likely will stress the plant to a degree. With small changes having the least impact and large changes having more. It only makes sense to me that all living things have the ability to adapt relatively quickly to some degree. I always change 1 thing at a time for 2 reasons, avoid stressing the plant and so i can be sure what i changed is responsible for the reaction i see.
This was another advantage to the schedule I mentioned above; the temperature swings were far less extreme than 18/6. That might account for the results, there's no way I would know.
Yeah i thought about it before but did't want to ruin a small crop since that all i can do atm. My concern was the time frame it takes the plant to change processes and get back up to speed in those process. There just wasn't enough info that i could find on it so i ditched it. When i retire I think i'm going to go back to school. I can say I missed the boat having a career really peaked my interest in life. I have been growing shit and breeding shit of all sorts since i was a teen and still not bored with it. If i do i just switch to something else. Cannabis serves a duel purpose for me though its a recreation and a hobby
Not to mention Its a medicine for me... literally not just the fact it has medicinal purposes.
It's the kind of hobby that can easily pay for itself; fucking prescription prices are ridiculous these days!Yeah i thought about it before but did't want to ruin a small crop since that all i can do atm.

Im not sure what to say. I would rather take all the info off this site and do my own tests then some university study on marijuana. This site grows millions of marijuanas. Most people in this thread right now have posted many many pics with lab results on this site. Go to the quality bud thread on this site Ive got some sexy droppers on there. Not sure what will convince you that 24/7 veg works. I promise to god himself that it works. You must know this though. I feel funny even talking about it. It is even in every single grow bible.
