Don't let this monsterscrogger bother you, just another dude thinks hes some cannabis stud. I don't think the experiment failed. The plants did exactly what nature intended: produce seeds, really good looking seeds at that, I figured the bud size would diminish with such early pollination. Fuck the haters.

You didn't have to share with any of us so thank you for that. Some people only appreciate a nice scolding and an argument.

The only reason i come on this website is to learn and share my experiences both positive and negative.
Over the last 10plus years ive met alot of old school guys that use what they call foolproof methods and ive had my hands in on many a cash crop. But in all seriousness its not about that to me anymore.
Everyone claims to want quality over quantity anyway but yet everyones first comment is about the lower yield lol its maddening.
I share because if it helps someone or shines a light onto a new idea it makes the group better not just me.

Why am i a hater? because i ask a question as to what made him decide hell never do 12/12 again?
Sorry i must be a truly awful person for asking such a vile question.

Please share what you have learned, i for one would be most interested.
I have read the whole thread and learned nothing, except some people are way to sensitive

That is the ideal scenario.
With some more fine tuning who knows whats possible. I ran an entire flower cycle of 6/18 and yes my plants seemed to stop growing the second they were pollinated. However other peoole who have since tried the 6/18 are getting better results.
What i learned so far is contrary to popular belief going into this everyone told me that the plants would wilt up and die. They didnt die obviously and in fact preflowering seemed to happen sooner than usual.
In my little cabinet my experiment hit a serious hurdle and stunted but there is reason to experiment further with a new run.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions and i didnt beg anyone to read This thread or believe anything.
If you still think 12/12 is the only way to flower a plant thats fine enjoy it.

its quite possible that on a 6 hour photoperiod your plant received less heat damage and survived the battering a little better than it would of done under 12/12
even so with just the most basic knowledge of photosynthesis surely it is obvious that a 6 hour photoperiod will result in less photosynthesis occurring
if you were trying a 14 hour on 10 hour off photoperiod and claiming superior results at least you would have the laws of science on your side

16 pages of thread and no where does anyone claim superior results so not sure where that came from.
6 hrs definitely meant less heat tho thats common sense and its obviously less energy on the light too since were pointing out all the obvious.
Your photosynthisis assumption im not so sure about. The article that this light cycle came from claims that a plant or fruitting tree actually does its synthesisizing during the dark period so if thats true than a longer dark period may be benefitial.
I didnt start this thread to argue or try to get people to join the "dark side."
In your garden or growroom keep doing whatever it is you do and good luck to ya.

i hope to see another try it was a good try just had a few hiccups thats all more the reason to try again
i had and and still have high hopes of this working well if only with certain strains the positives are so many its worth trial and error to make it work
if u do decide to try again please start a thread so i can follow along all over again as i know there is more to come and to be learnt

I will be doing this whole thing over again as soon as the next set of girls are big enough.
Not sure i will start another thread or not. Im always on here anyway so i probably will but we shall see.
Just like the canadian patient section of this site it just seems that alot of people online joined this site to argue and flex their internet dicks. I never claimed to be the science guru or said i had it all figured out.

I feel like im in a different universe here, what exactly has offended you?
Its a forum its about discussions i dont know why you posted on here if you dont want people to ask questions
I havent seen any malicous or nasty comments towards you at all your acting like your being picked on its ridiculous

I dont consider myself being picked on..
I didnt write the article or say it would work.
In fact the first page is me saying im doubtful too.
I dont have any issues answering questions and ive done my best to answer them as best as i can. This is my first time trying this light schedule so its all new to me too.
My eyes work the same as yours i can clearly see that these buds stopped growing about 4 weeks ago. Stated it infact.
However i did see other plants under bigger lights in an open area thrive under 6/18.
So to answer your other question again. I do not claim that 6/18 is the optimal light schedule. However im positive that 12/12 may not be necessary for a similar yield and quality.
More test runs and better luck and perhaps my next thread will be full of sexier buds.

So i talked to my buddy last night apparently he chopped the six plants he had goin 6/18 on friday and they are in the drying basket. So i will post they dried weights of those by tues or wed.
We just did the same strains on 12/12 last run so that should give some more definitive numbers.
He did say they were done almost a week earlier than last time.
