My buddy told me i shouldnt post the results and say fuk it let everyone keep paying for 12 hours but i genuinely get a kick out of "trying to help the cause."
I have seen with my own two eyes that even 6 hrs will put the plants to flower so i think its safe to say it looks like anything from 6-12/12 will cause flowering to start.
Now me being the cheap ass that i am i will continue to try to use a little electricity as possible lol.
If i can cut electrical usage by 50% and or only need 50% the batteries then giddy the fuk up.

Glad i could be of help...
When i first read the article my jaw dropped open and thought "holy fuck this could change everything"
And it seems as tho perhaps it really can change everything.
We will have to wait to see how long it takes to flower and if the yield is worthwhile but its looking too good to not get excited.
Im glad i dont listen to my firends advice and decided to share this with the group.

I cant wait to try it in hydro and see what I get as I have 2 in 12/12 that will finish up in the next 2weeks at over 20 zips. So I am very excited to attempt this which will begin flower in 2 weeks as soon as my flower room is clear! Not having room for plants is a real struggle!!!

Lol now that my friend is thinking ahead.
I would rather just run as short as possible myself.
I too was thinking in the begining that if the buds were lagging because they werent getting enough light period u could add a second light and keep your electricity usage the same but my goal isnt more quantity its same quantity just half priced lmfao.
Im kind of excited to try the whacky veg light cycle published in the mag too

That is a very clever idea! The extra flower rooms would very likely make up for any lost yield.

After tasting these strains grown out at my buddies i was super excited to get in the cab for an update.
I must say some of my optimism is waning.
While all the plants are definately flowering they dont seem to growing or packing on any weight.
Will give em another week and if i dont see any size increase in the buds i will add an hour to flower and see if that helps.
I also lowered the light by 5" hopefully the temp stays managable.

Did you get a chance to see the progress of your buddies plants at the same time in the flowering period? I've had a few just sputter till the final few weeks. I really like this experiment and want it to work, so may be my hopes talking.
