Is 11 hours light during flower better than 12?

ill second that the shame is its now obvious yours stinks.
i finished my girls off in week 8 using 9 hours of light.
look in the advanced section for 12-1
So thats less light not more ffs :-s
looking nice though , fair shout!

theres a whole thread on it using the diminishing lighting schedule. starting flowering at 11 on 13 off and dropping 30 mins every 2 weks so weeks 1-2 is 11 on 13 off, weeks 3-4 is 10 1/2 on 13 1/2 off. and so on.
look up gas lantern technique

That regime would be impossible for me to maintain , due to work hours , multiple tents staggered to different times to keep each other warm in dark periods , reused hot air flow kinda thing , interesting though ....

yes im with you, if your setup depend on each other for differnt periods then would be hard to maintain.

what the fuck has that got to do with leaving your lights on longer for more resin production ?
That was not my whole comment , try and piece each line together , it makes a paragraph , why are you getting irrate ? relax ...

Hey im no scientist , and my reasoning is this , keeping it brief
Plants during light cycle are soaking up and storing the light etc,
Plants during dark cycle , put what they stored to use and grow/produce
12 hours storing / 12 hours building[/QOUTE]

What you said makes sense but wouldn't it be possible that
14 hours storing / 10 hours with extra energy to put into growth create a better yield?
Is it really based more on the amount of time of dark for growth or would it be based on the amount of energy to put into growth during dark, although shorter, that would create the better yield? Seems like after the plant got used to 14/10 it would know how much energy to burn before the lights come back on.

Since it's been awfully hostile so far let me state that i'm not looking for a fight and am just looking out for my yield. I see what both of you are saying and I'm unbias you just happened to be the one with a more educational opinion.
