My advice is the same as most others, put your plants on 12/12 :P

You can slow down flowering time and increase yield in some strains with 13 hours of light and 11 hours of darkness, and speed up flowering while negatively effecting yield by switching to 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness.

However most people just stick with 12/12 because cannabis responds exceptionally well to it. It's in its genetics to respond to this photoperiod with the flowering response, and humans can't change that (quickly, and to the exception of auto flowers).

If your plant is turning down its leaves during lights on it's either over watered, under watered, shying away from excessive light, or lacking light, not because it is trying to rest. It's difficult to tell without any pictures at all.

What you need to realize about plants is their entire life is a race to the sun. There is no rest for plants, because all it takes in the wild for them to fail to reproduce is for one other plant to grow faster than it and block the sun.

it is on 12/12 & flowering an wouldn't flower till like u said 11/13. i was mearly asking why it limp an what if it was reversed with another grow. idont know why it goes limp. but i know its healthy & flowering, im a noob and just thought if it did this in the dark it would benefit frm what looks like to me it using more light

Then you've got nothing to worry about, like a lot of people have said from beginning.

i cannot find ur answer sorry or dont undrstand. as a noob i was only thinking hypathetically like i said its on 12/12 & flowering, i was just wondering why it done this, not over waterd nute burn to close light. it just does it. someone else on this forum has noticed it, he said he changed his pattern and as a noob maybe why wouldn't you think that, unresponsive oh it not using light, but i haven't ive followed the advice of many, and thankyou all, because its 2weeks into flower. sorry all who answerd this post who tryed to get me but thought by 3rd or 4th post would have understood, ppl cant watch ther grows properly to notice, it might not make any difference if it does this but its just what i observe & was curious, i checked your profile out fuck me a botanist, u know ur stuff then, thought with that u put me straight the first post instead of look at him,

ou of all these posts 1 or 2 have been slightly helpful, so i take it they do photosynthesize when limp or watever i think sum1 said, so now i know that its not worth it on my next grow to wait a few hours. as it makes no difference. still wud be on 12/12 just meant starting at different time of day,

RIU has been VERY helpful to me. Then again, I don't bite the hand that feeds. You got many answers that said what you described might be interesting, but in the best interest of the plant, it was best not to mess with it. You remind me of a.... well, my 4 year old that takes an answer and keeps saying yabbit (yeah.... but).

If you don't come back, is it a huge loss to the community? Personally I think you should stick around. You MIGHT learn something, if not about MJ, then perhaps some interpersonal skills. Whatever you choose, I wish you the best.

BTW, Cialis is like Viagara. It's a little pill that helps men with erectile dysfunction. Helps a man keep his weenie stiff..... figured if your plant was limp..... sorry, some don't get my humor.

You're getting your answers. What you wanted was for someone to tell you your hunch about the plant was right, which it wasn't. Sorry, that's your answer. Limp leaves are a sign of stress, and if that doesn't fly with you then you won't even become an "Apparent botanist", as you would put it.

Maybe if you had used google to find out how plants work before coming here this wouldn't have happened.

Oh and by the way, unless you figure out how to speak English properly nobody is going to take you seriously online. :mrgreen:

In case that wasn't already obvious by this thread.

i know i started it with a not so clear question i admit, but ppl like monkeybones a botanist in his profile dont answer instead just take piss, so wat if i cant be assed writing full letters its not a book and i pressed 4 time.some ppl on this post cant tell, what if from a i have. and if ppl dont want to answer coz i cant spell well fuck em. i got my answer from another forum. i wasnt right but what i was saying had some relavance. and as a result i now know something ppl on this post dont. if desch is reading this you are right but not this crop, watch in veg take note then @ start of flower put into action = +5%yield & thats from awell known grower on youtube. on this site the way i see it the noobs like me dont know & the pros either laugh or wont tell. if darkdestruction420 was as good as he and some1 made, out why has he not noticed this or able to help me. to many know it alls who know jack shit. my plants 2 weeks in2 flower on 12\12 but no one listened to that. was all hypathetical "what if"

First off, yes you have gotten answers. Might they have been the ones you were specifically looking for? Probably not seeing as how you have absolutely no sentence structure.

You've apparently got people interested in this thread, all you need to do is make it clear for them to read. Use punctuation, spacing, and just spell things right for christ sakes. I tutor kids grade 2-8 and they have better sentence structure than most of these grown ass people on the interwebz.

So, bottom line? USE GRAMMAR AND SENTENCE STRUCTURE. It makes things a TON easier to read.

Oh, and thanks for calling us yanks. It shows how salty the rest of the world at the states for no reason. Let the haters keep hatin, it doesn't keep me up at night, it actually puts a smile on my face.

Peace and Love

sorry i appoligize. when i wake in morning ilook in grow room, plant is semi limp then i turn lights on after 5 min its awake an sucking light up, come 1pm its gone limp like its been overwaterd although it aint an its in full light weather it sun or bulbs, and stays like that til tea time 5pm then it wakes up again and uses the light, but ithen have to turn my lights off 2 hours later. but ive read while its limp it doesnt use sunlight or do any chemical processing internally, so hyperthetically what would appen if the 12\12 was reversed

what are the temps, what are you feeding it, what's your ph, what kind of ventalation, what is your air movement, blah blah.

Sounds like your temps might slowly be rising after the lights come on and at 1pm it's pretty hot in there. The plants are about to pass the fuck out, or "sleep".

IMO we have the best air force, drone force, navy, soldiers, missiles, space exploration period. England is none for its lack of brushed teeth.
