It wouldnt work in theory as the days turn to 12 hours of light at summers end.but in an artificial environment it might but I would go with 12-12 because it works so I dont see why you would want a 13 hour day.go 12-12 and then their guaranteed to flower.

I believe he wanted to know about 11 hours of day, and 13 hours of night. Yes that would for sure make them flower, but it may still take a while up to 2 weeks for anything to show. 12/12 will also make them flower though.

you can always do 13 hours on and 11 hours off....which is going to work 100%

not only is 12/12 tried and true, you would be starving your plants of 1 hour of light, and afterall lightis what makes them grow. The dark period only makes them build a chemical that induces budding, only need so much of that chemical to make/keep them budding. if anyway around 12/12 i would try to lean toward more light, as light is the king, although i use 12/12

How many times do you have to read the word off. to realize it refers to the light being well.. OFF.

It`s also strain dependant,indicas trigger at less darkness than sativas.You could read up on your strain or otherwise 12/12 is a trusted,well beaten path for everyone.Choosing a longer dark period is an option if you`ve got heat issues and want to reduce your build up of heat.
But to give a short answer...yes,it would.
