Hello, I heared about 16:8 12:12 etc.
Is it would be ok if I put the plant in growbox for ~12 hours at night and the rest of time it would stay in greenhouse in sunlight in day.

Ha, just don't trip or something when you're walking back and forth to the greenhouse with your plant. (Been there done that)

Thought you were just doing daylight in the greenhouse and the dark in the growbox?

If you're trying to flower this is a stupid question.

If you're asking if its okay that the plant is getting 24 hours of light. Thats just fine.

i and many others prefer 18/6 or even 20/4. 'most' people will tell you they prefer a dark period, but others do not, and ill leave that debate for another thread.

i believe you can get away with 16/8, but keep in mind that is only about a 3-4 hour buffer if something goes wrong with lights etc. i have heard of plants starting to flower at just under 14 hours of light.

I've always done 18/6, and it turns our great everytime. But different strains need different light patterns
