Anybody tried alternative lighting schedule?

[Connoisseurus Rex]

I think in going to run the new genetics on this schedule too. I see no real differences yet. Looks just like any other week old plant. Allows me better temp control as well.

Yeah I agree with you on that, don't look stressed out at all either ATM, and that's a bonus suppose that cuts down on cost to run fans and ect

 

[Connoisseurus Rex]

I would guess it's the same cost as 18/6. Same hrs on and off, just spread 3 ways.

 

[Greedy-Green]

Yeah I figured that I meant cost of controlling temperature such as running fans and extractors

 

[Connoisseurus Rex]

I see what you mean now. I just run everything on one timer. Nothing extra.

 

[Greedy-Green]

Oh ok nice and simple, less to go wrong

The broke dick? Yea. Gave it a little epsom salt to boost it.

 

[Connoisseurus Rex]

Spray bottle only. Not a lot lol.

Still want it to stretch out its roots tho help it recover with a full watering of the pot I'm guessing your not of fan of transplanting either

The pot is good on water. Didn't want to overwater the soil. Just a little booster is all. The roots have to repair before they start stretching again.

I won't transplant these ones. They'll go to the finish in these pots. Unless they flower under this schedule by some miracle... Then I'll transplant lol.

What size pots? can't tell from the pics

Gallon pots. I was going to drill them for air pruning but I said fuck it haha. I wasn't in the mood that day.

 

[Connoisseurus Rex]

7 days old. Had to go back and check.

I'm talking like 6 on 2 off 3 times in a 24 hr period during veg. Anybody ever tried shorter alternating periods of light/dark?

I know I'll catch some shit about it and that's ok. I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried it. If not, I think I'll give it a shot on some of my clones just for shits and giggles.

Thanks in advance.

If you want to try something new then try the gas lantern method for veg. 12hrs on. 5.5hrs off. 1hr on. 5.5hrs off. Then repeat. Works great and saves on power.

 

[Connoisseurus Rex]

That's not really new then, is it haha. I haven't found anybody trying this. Figured I would give it a shot.

You have, you just didn't notice. The sun is more "white" during spring/summer and orange during fall/winter. It's not a crazy difference. That's what scientific research states anyway.

The sun burns as bright summer or winter. Its the angle in the sky that changes the spectrum of the light that reaches earth. Its all about how the atmosphere diffuses the light as it travels through it.
