Hi all, i got to thinking about a plant and how light affect it, now most indoor for arguments sake are 18-24 and 12/12.
My idea is to have a light on for 10 mins and off for 50 each hour for the duration of the grow, so if you were growing 24/0 , tricking the plant into thinking its had a full 24 hrs of light and do this for the duration of the growth stage
And do the same for the 12 hrs of flowering time.
Is it possible it would work??
Ive no doubt the plant willgrow, but would it streach? i dont know if the on off cycle would trick the light into thinking its had a day of bright light or weather it will think of it as weak light.
Anyone see any problems with this aproach
There are obvious draw backs, ie the starter in bulb giving up/beraking for some reason
and plantstreach was my other concern. any ideas ofr info wellcomed. go go
