Roots want O2. Leaves want CO2 but only during daytime.650PAR looks like the sweet spot?
wonder if youd get a big boost by injecting CO2 to roots at night.
I will do an experiment on that,
By all means, experiment.

Hey there buddy! I was hoping I'd see you in this thread!I will be interested to see how it plays out
Best of luck with it
I started my experiment phase with 6/18 using a 400 mh imo it wasn’t enough light for such a short period of time and bud formation was severely less.Hey there buddy! I was hoping I'd see you in this thread!
Have you run a 6 on, 18 off cycle? If so, what were your results?
Unfortunately I think you will be sadly let down with this approach to glr.I was thinking also that the DLI approach can be used in veg times when using the gas lighting technique to show sex earlier but maintaing same growing ratio that a 18/6
We shouldn't be monocropping, but old habits are hard to break.I agreed with you - it should be O2 and I added Nitrogen
Clover and micros work. They are present in natural soil so adding them back into other mediums was logical to me. Look up azospirillum and azotobacter. They help keep everything in check and provide a good ph buffer by thriving in alkaline environments which would normally lock out nitrogen. Plus they have other goodies.
Maybe using a 12 on / 5 off/ 2on / 5 off instead of the classical 12 on/ 5.5 off/ 1 on/ 5.5 off would work in more strains...Unfortunately I think you will be sadly let down with this approach to glr.
I tried it again over a two year period and found that certain genetics would start to flower and it was a giant pita for a few hours of savings.
Using glr and then a reduced flower cycle will shave weeks off the total grow time but you would lose the growth equivalent so it’s a sideways step at best.
Or 24/0 with the right DLIOr even.. a 6on/6off/6on/6off with a DLI equal to a clasical 18/6 could be interesting...
Plants do not absorb CO2 at the roots.youd get a big boost by injecting CO2 to roots at night
That might be true for C4 class plants, but not a C3. Cannabis is a C3 plant.Roots uptake CO2, and leafs take in O2 at night

ok, didnt know that.That might be true for C4 class plants, but not a C3. Cannabis is a C3 plant.
I would think it would encourage anaerobic bacteria (pythium for example) while being detrimental to the beneficial aerobic bacteria that we want in the root zonePlus it would displace any O2, N2 down in the root zone potentially causing problems.
What kind of yields are you getting using those techniques?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.

On pages 2,3 of this thread. My last run with a sativa netted 1300-1600g/m2 with all 4 chambers, 120 days flower which is what it normally takes to finish using 12/12.What kind of yields are you getting using those techniques?
Apologies for not catching that. Yield results are on page 4, averaging 1100 g/m2 for the hybrids. Very nice. You are utilizing vertical growing methods for those chambers?On pages 2,3 of this thread.
