Best to let your plants get that 6 hours rest, every living thing on this planet performs better with some rest. Doesn't hit the light bill as hard either.
I used to... honestly im always in a rush now cause i dont have space for a veg tent rn.. and it seems they go faster in 24/0 to me... i always wondered where the # 6 came from. Just trial and error or an idea. Ive done 2 hrs off. And 4. And honestly i dont remember noticing a diff. Except speed.

When I run new genetics i tape black&white reflective mylar to the 3 sides of tent & clip one to the front. (All my pinholes are in the sides) 18mx2m of the mylar cost £18. Note: the room is semi dark (blinds) so not fully lit in daytime

I wonder if a plant would flower if you only reduced your lights down to say 90%.. After a week maybe it'll think that the reduced light is the darkest it gets and start to flower? .. Man I'm high..

I think 18/6 is common because it's a nice round number. Smack in the middle between 12/12 & 24/0.

It might, if you continued to gradually decrease light hours, it definitely would.

GE air purifier carbon pre filters
Thanks
So u think if i was at 24/0, switched to 23/1 and then 22/2 and so on over a month stopping at 18/6 they wld flower?
It's possible, but I'm not sure that's still a lot of light hours. How stable the strain is would come in to play. I would think you would have a better chance at that with a northern Indica than an equatorial sativa.

I just got a Vivosun tent for my veg and it actually came with some mylar tape. lol, thought that was kinda funny.

I've never had a tent that didn't have pin holes in it. And I can t afford a tent that doesn't.

I use a dust shroom for my input. It claims you'll have no cfm lose.
