24 on 24 off flowering

[invincipal]

has anyone tried 24 on 24 off? for flowering? would that work? and if anyone has tried it, has it made anything different?

I've never tried that before but I have tried 6 on and 6 off. It shorten my flowering cycle by half but the buds were way smaller so I think it would make your flowering cycle longer but bigger buds??? I'm not sure? Try it and keep us informed.

i dont think it would work.
if you trying to cut down flower time..
do 6on n 18off.

 

[invincipal]

wouldn't 6 on 18 off just put it back into veg?

 

[mane2008]

no 18on 6off is for veg
the other way around would be faster flowering

 

[invincipal]

buds good size on that or seem smaller, larger? i'm more looking on more yeild...

 

[MrHowardMarks]

Or you could do 6on 12off, I'd stick with 12/12, there's nothing better, that I know of. Never seen someone do 24/24.

I say try it and let us know what happens.let it be an experiment if you can take that chance!

It won't work. If the plant sees more than 14 hours of light in a 24 hour period the flowering hormones cease activity. 24 hours of dark is only enough to let them build up, only to be knocked back down. IMO it would just stress the plant out. Go 12/12, its proven.

so then....what about 12 on 24 off 12 on...?

 

[BudMakeMeWiser]

12 on 24 off sounds interesting. Anyone willing to test?

 

[invincipal]

i will, with next one but i'm just looking to see what anyone has to say

 

[desertrat]

this GROWFAQ describes an exotic lighting schedule that is supposed to boost yields

"If the plant sees more than 14 hours of light in a 24 hour period the flowering hormones cease activity"

that schedule says...
9.5 on/12 off
9.5 on/12 off
21.5 on/12 off
21.5 on/ 12 off
21.5 on/ 12 off

dude said plant will stop growing flowers if it see's more than 14 hours of light

 

[desertrat]

if the author in growfaq is right, the plants need at least 10 hours of continuous dark, not no more than 14 of light. they are different things as the schedule shows.

 

[kvndlpz]

so then....what about 12 on 24 off 12 on...?

Some one answer this please
