No the basic argument of the article is that anything more than 6 hrs is too much light for the plants to process. 6 is supposedly the realistic amount of light actually needed by a fruiting or flowering plant.I'm excited to see the results as well but I do struggle with the logic a little. Just about everywhere cannabis originates gets around 12 hours sun 12 hours night save an hour or two variance.
Are you saying cannabis has evolved to not efficiently use the resources it naturally has access too?
This would save me $350 a month if it works... DAYUM.
CHEERING FOR YOU @torontoke!
so, if this light schedule does speed up flowering response, I would say you should see flowers any day.right?No the basic argument of the article is that anything more than 6 hrs is too much light for the plants to process. 6 is supposedly the realistic amount of light actually needed by a fruiting or flowering plant.
Because the cycle is so short it is suppose to kickstart the plant into flowering faster because it only has those few hours to work with.
Again not my article but im the try it first type so we shall see
even if it doesn't speed it up, but they still start flowering as usual, you still win.Ya thats sort of my understanding aswell.
Im not really sure what my expectations were.
Most people i asked avout this before trying it said the plants would probably wilt shivel and die and they arent. So thats step one lol
showing flowers after 1 week is awesome. so far so good then.I just had to go check now to see and ya i would say the flowers are forming and the little hairs are starting to shoot out. Now i wouldnt say it looks like its further along than usually since it is only a week in.
Thanks man i appreciate it.Just wanted to say again that I appreciate you doing this experiment and sharing with us.
If you're afraid to fail then you won't take risks and you will never achieve anything great. Safe is boring.Thanks man i appreciate it.
The way i see it im just taking one for the team.
I tend to be a pessimist and expect negative but the hope of the possibilities in my mind out weigh the risk.
does the article say to start 6/18 or 12/12 for first 2 weeks and then step it down?Well after leaving everything alone for two days i was surprised today to find that the solo stash phantom cookies had balls bigger than mine.
So one down. The rest are all looking 100 female and are preflowering up.
I wouldnt say the flowering is sped up at all but things are alive and healthy looking.
Half a dozen shoots are now sticking out above the screen.
You and me both man lol.did the article have any pics of a side by side with 12/12 vs 8/16? or was this just this guys theory? wish you had a time machine to fast forward 7 weeks. good luck!
