Which way were you trying to stretch it.
The thread was dug up and someone 9 years ago wondered if they could flower with 16/12. They thought that maybe it was the 12 hours of darkness that triggered the flower cycle. I have flowered with 13/11, so was curious.
What were your findings using 13/11?
It was on some strains I'd never ran before, so I can't say anything about yield. It worked though, and I didn't get any herm's. I did get foxtails on the indicas and not on the sativas, but don't know if it was the strains.
What is the perk to using more energy?
I would assume the opposite of using less energy? Like an 11/13?
What’s the opposite of less energy?
Not biting, Sorry.
No sir
In some parts on earth, the sun can keep rising for 3 months straight.
I had my latest run almost the whole veg under 24 an just the last few weeks switched to 18/6 an I noticed a difference after a couple days so I’ll be sticking to 18/6 from now on I mean it could have been a growth spurt but for all of them to look noticeably better kinda makes me think it’s the light
Placebo effect. Nothing noticeable happened in a couple days it's just your mind making you think it did. I've been growing for decades. I've grown 24/0 and 18/6 in veg switching between the two. There's no noticeable difference switching between the different hours that is going to happen in a couple days.
Is this a serious question ??
Is there any noticeable difference through the duration?
I was thinking it was all in my head I have tendency to think every change has an effect an really it’s just mind playing tricks on me lol
I’m into bro science too. It’s always better to trust what you feel instead of looking up easy to access info. Plants absorb light until the point of light saturation, time is irrelevant it’s like charging a battery. You can use a slow charger or a fast charger, you’ll get there at different speeds , but once you’re at 100% there’s no more capacity for charge. As a second note because we’re on another 18 vs 24 bro science opinion pot, despite popular belief...roots do not need darkness to grow....these two ideas usually come as a pair.
If you actuall compare root growth in the 24/0 light schedual and the 18/6 light schedual you will see that you have a MUCH larger root mass in the 18/6 light schedual. And everyone knows what more roots means right.....
I use to grow 24/0 in veg. Untill I campared the root growth of that plant to one of a plant of the same size and strain in 18/6. Just seeing the difference made up my mind for me... 18/6 ALWAYS!
You too. What you feel is not fact. The plants does all the same functions 18-24 for veg. Optimally you have enough light intensity to reach saturation in 18 hours. Almost no rooms have this kind of intensity, so when you run 24 hours you are more likely to get closer to giving the plant the max amount of light it is able photosynthesize in the time your lights are on.
