The 13/11 light cycle is genius. I switched to 12/12 Jan 2nd and two weeks later I had no indication of sex although it is a new strain that I haven't grown before but I'm used to seeing pre-flowers in 7-10 days. Anyways, within two days of switching to 13/11 I had pre-flowers so in the future I will be using this modified light cycle. Thank you very much for the suggestion.

I don't know of it was the light cycle change if you were 2 weeks and a few days into 12/12. That sounds like right about when pre flowers should be showing with most strains. Unless you've vegged for like 3 months because at somepoint the pre flowers come out during veg. And will let you know.

I'm trying to keep things short so I only vegged for 4 weeks before flipping. I need to do a side by side with the same strain and the different light cycle because you may very well be right.

I'm doing three plants, Hash Plant Feminized, Dwarf Low Flyer Auto Flower which I had no other choice but to put it in the 13/11 as I only have one grow area and a bag seed that was getting huge and I was afraid it was a male and hallelujah it was a girl.

wrong, its the opposite, decreases both. But in contrast, it shortens the flowering time.

So your trying to tell me you can change a flowering cycle of a plant that is in it's genetic just by changing the light cycle? Really please don't give out advice if you don't know.



Ding ding no chicken dinner here, this dude don't know what he's talking about

As to the OP just keep them on 12/12 and watch your trics.

Please people stop giving advice if you don't know!

I've tried the 11/13 it had no improvement for me and didn't save me shit either as it's only running 1 less hr then 12/12.

I did notice more times then not I had plants hermie on me on that light regime. So I'll just stick to 12/12.

I was never trying to fight with this dude but he refuses to listen to anything I say and his only come backs were links, if you can grow this plant in a different way and be successful then great but this is the newbie section not the advanced techniques thread.

It just really bothers me that people that have no experience other then reading try giving other people advice. Just get tired of seeing people coming back asking wtf happened with there plant.

Dude, you shouldnt have typed anything after i said, i was making you look smart, you just undid my hard work.

You are truly a "special child"...

We are growing hydroponically indoors, dictating the envirmoment the plant is growing in. That makes the amount of light on the earth irrelevant, No its not even relevant. Not even slightly. dont argue, ill make you look stupider.

Since the dawn of the industrial age (commercial hydoponic research and development), we have discovered that plants have 2 stages, growth and flower. We also discovered that if a plant get more light then dark, its will veg, and if it gets more dark then light it will flower. So freaking simple. So now you will point out to me that, as i pointed out earlier, some places on the earth get more light then dark for 365 days a year. This is true, In the outdoors, mother nature has a few other tricks up her sleeve to induce flowering. But these are almost impossible to replicate, and alot harder to replicate then just adjusting your lighting shedule.

So to close, you keep posting stupidly irrelevant shit... This thread is regarding INDOOR lighting shedules, posting informoation about OUTDOOR lighting is stupid, unless you light your indoor cupboard with a sun roof or something?

Oh wait its you, nothing would surprise me....

I want a big green bar like everyone else, am i allowed to ask to be repped? Maybe some of the community think my informative posts deserve rep. I know my signature and avatar command respect... Roo orgy anyone?

The Biggest Issue With All Your math is this. We All buy Seeds from seed banks Who "DONT" Use anything bar 12/12 for flowering (unless stated otherwise-They WIll answer if asked). So Those strains have been trained for the optimal Time Period matching 12/12.

Also There is a big difference between first light and Sun rise (about 30mins) And To be honest have u seen the light 5 mins Before First light... Its Fucking dark, Meaning all your wonderful math goes out the window as Im Pretty sure that the plant doesnt just go Wow its First light im getting tons of light, NO. It most likely isnt Receiving enough light to bother it just yet and it may not even register that its FIRSt light for another 10 mins-.

Try it with a lux meter- go out at first light and take a reading in your garden- lets see what you get apposed to sunrise.
