I'm what's wrong with this site? You pull a study out of your ass and then you seem to argue with it even though you're agreeing with it "photosynthesis does need a rest period"? The winky emoticon should have been your first clue that it's not a published scientific study.
That second "study" agrees with the 20/4 light period that Uncle Ben recommends, so who is it that your disagreeing with exactly.
And a published scientific study has the authors name and name of his institute. Plus it lists any and all info that he references from other studies by listing those studies at the bottom. Those are not scientific studies, more like someone's observations. Learn the difference before you start quoting them as scientific studies.
It's obvious that I didn't do the scientific reseach before I started or I woulnd't be stuck on a 24/0 schedule right now (only 2.5 weeks till flower). The published studies I did research on are UVB & polyploidys. The light, I just took advice from someone like you who just likes to hear themselves talk. It was a newbie mistake that I wont make again.
And while we're at it, botonists and horticulturists (not to mention many respected growers here) have told me that when treating for spider mites you should change your methods/pesticides every time you treat becaue spider mites will become immune to anything quiet quickly. So stop telling people that a pest strip is the answer to their prayers and you don't have to use anything else with it. Or do you know more than horticulturists & botonists? (not to mention everyone else) - from a different thread where he was giving bad advice
BTW, is this Luda from the other site? Did you get kicked off the site for giving bad advice or something, and decided to follow me here? I only ask because he's not real good with the english language either. Trying to decipher what you meant in that last post gave me a head ache.
Anyway, to the author of this tread, I'm sorry about this. It's obvious that the only way you're gonna get your thread back is if I leave. This guy just isn't going to stop. Sorry for stepping on your thread, I did come here hoping to help.
And I really wouldn't recommend taking any of this guys advice. He seems more interested in being right than he does in helping.
