at night, its reverse. Roots uptake CO2, and leafs take in O2 at night.no co2 to the roots, o2 is what you want

I already have a small seedling, about 12 days old, with air injection. So at night, Ill put the air pump in a box with CO2 from a DYI sugar/yeast generator. Just for shits and giggles..
http://www.co2science.org/subject/r/summaries/roots.phpPlants absorb CO2 through stomata in their leaves, not roots
As I explained, 20 inches down there's almost no light. As for side lighting, the plants are up against the walls. If I used side lighting I would need a bigger tent.
That's quite the claim. If I had tripled that I would have hit about 4 GPW. I'm not saying it's impossible but I'd need some proof.
Nitrogen too.no co2 to the roots, o2 is what you want
so, theoretically speaking, in flower, we can blast it with 2000PAR for 4 hours, Hit with 730nm at night, reduce night time to 10 hours, so, each day, is really ?.
If I could manage the heat better I would increase PPFD and go for 8/16 for sure... Just wonder myself why a mini air conditioner of about 150 watts for little or medium tents is not in the market... I would build myself a peltier cooler device..but they are so inefficient...Anything stopping you from having a light source below the canopy blasting up? Kind of like a spotlight.
Regarding maximizing your grow area you should think in space not area. The vertical space provides significantly more exposure to light than the horizontal area. Plant doesn't care if it is getting light from an angle. It will adjust.
Best proof you can have is doing it for yourself.
Nitrogen too.
Somewhat. I am running 6/18 with 1500-1700 umols. Nachoo is doing 10/14. Increasing the dark time rather than shortening it seems to work better.
I posted something similar recently when thinking about side lighting. I haven't seen any two dimensional plants, so why only think in terms of light over a given area?Regarding maximizing your grow area you should think in space not area.
To really test your theory or idea of a full 2 in 1 you might be better off trying 4/8,4/8 so every 24 hours is exactly 2 light cycle daysI use a sonoff, i could test the 2 days in 1 theory. 4 on, 10 off, 4 on, 10 off. But i can only get to 700-800 PAR, need to get bigger driver to run my luminus at 100watts atleast each. going to be adding QBs for side lighting. Not really side lighting but pitched like a roof over the grow area.
edit: I get 1000 par at 12inches at 1400ma,
but i can use my Perfect sun mini, hits 2000 par at 10inches, and 1700 at 12inches.
hummmm,
crap, i have a fusion board coming too, lol..

Yeah, they are all almost one ecosystem. It is a lot of work though.If I could manage the heat better I would increase PPFD and go for 8/16 for sure...

By the way...Slinging..I like a lot the rotating tents idea...also you benefit for the CO2 that plants in the dark are producing...
I try to run my leds at very low amps..but my problem are my home ambient temps in summer and late spring...It was imposible to grow under HID in summer , this was solved using leds..but anyway, without AC my summer crop has always more airy buds... Of course my lamps are on at night or early morning, when ambient temps are lower...but...still lot of heat in the sunny spanish summerCircadian rhythm is a 24hr cycle. Plants follow it so you won't be able to shorten the flowering phase to get the '2' days in '1' day I think.
The extra darkness is good. Remember the plants will still use stored energy in the dark.

While fun to figure out and try new things, without pressure to maximize production it is far easier to take it easy and let the plants run on auto sacrificing some yield. You get out what you put into it.
Don't go wasting resources on ac if you don't have to. It would be put to better use with more cobs to run the same power but much more efficiently. With Vero 29 C, they aren't even warm to the touch until you hit 30w when stuck to simple aluminum sheet. 30w for 3000k 80 cri hits the magic 3 umol/J.
In nature that is true yes, but they adjust their rhythm when you give/force them another rhythm.Circadian rhythm is a 24hr cycle. Plants follow it so you won't be able to shorten the flowering phase to get the '2' days in '1' day I think.
where we talking about macros? no, he said he wanted to inject co2 into his root system............Anything stopping you from having a light source below the canopy blasting up? Kind of like a spotlight.

I agreed with you - it should be O2 and I added Nitrogenwhere we talking about macros? no, he said he wanted to inject co2 into his root system............
