well i dunno who that guy is, but unless ive seen it for myself or my growing teachers tell me so, i have no reason to believe 24/0 is better than 18/6. BC grows the best pot in the world, and no one uses 24/0, they all use 18/6. and i am also in no position to start experimenting.. so for now, 18/6 it is
He's the guy that taught your teachers. You need to stop being so stuck up your own ass right now, you seem to be playing a game, how to win friends and influence people.

i won't deny that it's a pretty tent you're working with, it has much more of a visual apeal than my basement. but, nug for nug.... i'm sure we are par.

now, LISTEN to some other posts. 18/6 works, 24/0 works, anything more than 14 hours of light will keep a plant in veg. just because YOU like your system doesn't mean it's for me, or anyone else for that matter.

i'll say this, what a waste! your bulbs are hanging the wrong way for optimum light, no reflectors.... you must love your power company, they sure love you!

sea of green, a technique based on many plants in a bed or table, just like you have in your tent. pm me if you'd like to chat, i feel bad having hijacked this thread for almost a page now....

kp..

In larger grows or in "tree" grows it isn't uncommon for folks to ditch their hoods and hang their lamps bare/vertical. If you've ever tipped a light up like this you''ll see how much light it radiates out to the sides rather than down... believe it or not..such lighting does have purpose. Ask "Krusty" (grew the largest buds I've ever seen with DWC/vert lamps) LOL.

I about spit out my coffeee on the "whos' Ed" comment. Geez...someone has been livin in a cave...

24/0 all the way here...have done so for over 15 years w/ great results. Anything less is wastin time.... like dropping your photoperiod an hour at a time rather than hammering down the 12/12. Yes..it will work...NO it isn't the fastest way or any BETTER and NO 18/6 doesn't "reset" the plant as some noobs believe. Man..where DOES this shit come from?

It's good for a laugh though...ya know?

of course i do!

but, in his pic, i notice those arent' trees, but smallish plants... i would think there would be a better, more efficient way of lighting them....

but i know what you mean, i'm using a 400w hps for side lighting right now ;)

sorry i dont use your lame american internet weed abbreviations and sayings lol
Its not an american saying and I'm not american, its a standard grow term used the world over. Anyone who has planted a seed should have heard of it if not, then they must be too newbie.

But its good that your sorry for something, next you could try a sorry for all the attitude you been giving.

Just because you learned it a certain way doesnt make other ways wrong, seriously though 24/0 does provide quicker growth than 18/6, the stuff about changing sex i dont believe for a second but for increasing the rate of growth 24 is better.

how much bud can you grow in a hr.. well with setup A 12/12 and setup B 22/12 being exactly the same conditions. it means that both setups would produce the same amount of bud every hr.
the only way i think this theory could work. would be if you can prove that certain weeks in the bloom cycle had a higher percentage of growth than the other weeks in the same exact conditions. if that were true than it would be worth it to extend that higher growth rate week of the cycle.

I'm not against 24/0 for veg all I'm trying to state is 24/24 isn't going to do any better then 12/12 and might not even work, you can't change millions of years bioengineering. Also I've read in high times that a reason for 18/6 is it per flowers faster then 24/0 due to the dark period.

the theory behind it is...increasing day length = more stored energy .... more energy = more growth, plants dont have weeks when they grow, they grow at nite using energy from that day, that is what I have observed from my personal experience, i'm just a stoner not a plant physiologist, and you guys take it easy on the poor canidiot, he is still dealing with losing lord stanleys cup.

lol, i'm sorry babe, but the curing on the line thing was funny :mrgreen:

i'd like to add that i watched a thread of someone who flowered on 6.75/12. 6 hours 45 mins on, 12 off. his yeild was hardly affected.

what would make someone only have the lights on for 6 hours 45min and 12 off, did he think it would finish up faster seen the days for the plant were speed up?:peace:
