flower power with pics 36 0n 12 off

[sven deisel]

ok this is a flood and drain hydro with perlite as the med. sog style this is on a light cycle of 36 on 12 off the first 3 r at 5 weeks in a top shot side shot to give depth and a nug shot but the trichs dont come out good with the cam i am using. 4th pic is at 3 weeks and 5th at 1 week and a few days.

36 on/12 off? have you done this before?

 

[!!!!!sdpgrow!!!!!]

looken good what kind of
setup do u have for that flood and drain?

 

[sven deisel]

yeah for years

 

[sven deisel]

real easy setup just totes and perlite and a recycle timer for the pump and a few 1 inch drain holes with screen. aside from the timer about $30 to set up

 

[Cereall]

so for flowering... you do 36/12 the whole time? or just during select weeks

looks great... just a little hard to read your first post... lil confusing but everything looks amazing, nice and simple and obviously effective!

 

[sven deisel]

yeah 36/12 the whole flower. im also thinking this light cycle might come in handy for autoflowers to. we will see i just stated my first batch of purple jems and lr2's

i see it works, but you are duobleing your bill by running it for 36 hours and only 12 off. but if u got the cash to cover it than keep on keepin on

 

[sven deisel]

in there i have a 600 and a 400 and 2 more 400 in veg on 24/7 my bill stays under 300 a month

 

[mcpurple]

ya i couldnt afford that i can barely pay just one 600

 

[keepinabeat]

have you done a side by side comparison yet to see weight difference in light schedules this is awsome i have been lookin for someone who plays with light cycles what do u know about runnin 12/12 till 2-3 weeks towards the end switch to 13on/11off i heard this will dramatically increase your yields whats your opinion

ha i remember reading a week or two back about this "flower power" light schedule, in theory i believed in you but all it took was a few pics for me to trust your methods, a+++++ work my man and keep it up.... i bet u some ppl are jus sick to their stomachs seeing this guy break these know-it-all growers spirits... and im la la la loooooovin it. If you wouldn mind... please elaborate on your flood drain system id def like to make one.

 

[TrynaGroSumShyt]

never seen anybod do 36/12.. is it because the plant responds to the 12 hour dark period to flower?

i dont think any experienced grower will be sick att all they will probably laugh at how much energy is bein wasted on it. to creat the same shit and the same amount if not more or less i would figure a lil less. and also i think it might cause some unwanted stress. where in the world have u been that has 36 hours of light then nitght for 36

it is a good grow but just doesnt make sense to do so

Alaska lol Duh

 

[thelightison]

well does the light schedule change the length of time before you chop? is it shorter or is it the same. what is your justification for the extra 12hrs of electric usage? I could see where it could be stealthy from the electric company when a large increase in energy happens every day at the same time if you run 12/12 too... but it sounds like its an extra 12hrs you pay for that others don't if you still have to grow for the same amount of time and get the same yield.

im listening - lets give him a chance to sell the 36/12

That's it, mj is dark sensitive.

I want more info on the timer!

I've heard of 24/12 close to 30 years ago and its benefits, but the timer was always the drawback/expense.

The only timer I've heard about that could reliably do this was close to $600 and quickly killed my interest.

Alaska lol Duh

not even alaska does that smart one not every 36 ours anyway.
