730nm nightly, 10 hours dark, 6 hours 1300 PAR, 10 hours dark, 6 hours 1300PAR, 10 hours dark, 6 hours 1300PAR, 48 hours, so for every 2 days, You get 3 days, so for every 2 realtime days. So, for a 70 day flower strain, you can really get it done in 48 days, thus knocking off, 22 days of total flower time.

50 day flower, gets it done in 32 days,

45days flower? 30 day done

Doing this with my next run, OG strain.

will post results,
how will you control the lights?

6 hrs won’t be enough imo
Use at least 8 or 9 and you will be shocked.
Yeah, i was thinking about that, but I think im going to still go the 6hr route, then, we can know about the 6 hrs, lol..

but i think i might veg them for 18 hours for 2 weeks after transplant and top. I really want to fill a scrogg with just tops, stripped to the net. no defoliation above the net. Need as much leaf as possible to take in the photons for this to work correctly Id presume. and Im going to use my FireOG cross seeds also for this, which is a 10week strain.

I’ve tried the 6 hr thing.
Mind you I was using a 400mh but the buds
Simply didn’t seem to get enough light to really stack.
Once I switched to 8 hrs of led things changed dramatically.
I believe everyone should just try things for themselves tho so good luck with it.
ooooooo, so YOU have done it, I see. Now, I have to really consider it,lol.

No sarcasm man,

Post a link to the thread when You start it @InTheValley
Starting tomorrow,

first 2 batches of seedlings didnt turn out. Just popped and stopped.

I have 4 seedling just popping off the shell now, so good to roll.

Will be running 6 on 10 off from start to finish, using my strain, FireOG/Bagseed cross

should be an interesting project. post link tomorrow

Hello :)
Did You started that grow journal yet ?
Hey T-Time, i did start the journal, but i dont like the journal section of this forum, so i was posting in the "custom light scheadule for flower" thread,

here is is day 30 from seed, real days, and on 12th day of 6/10.. I started them on the 12/12, and went to 6/10 last Sat. So, its on day 8 real day, and 12th day custom..

My thoughts: Its behind. It does flower under the light scheadule, but i can see it needs more light time. I cant really get them any more light via watts and lumens because the leafs start to show stress. So, Im going to continue to roll with it, but i think it will end up going the same time in regular time, and not the 3 weeks i expected it to finish. So it will either be small buds, and run the same as regular time, or maybe even longer then the 10 weeks its sopposed to go, but i dont think it will finish any sooner. BUT, not to bad growth for 6 hours of light, but then again, the pots im using might also be the problem, as i havent used them in my controlled grow with the same genetics.

These are all female, I had 1 male and pulled it aside because I transplanted it into another container to see how it reacts. day30-sun2.png
