why would you? that's stressful and = 12/12...

Since there isn't twelve hours of uninterrupted darkness, they won't flower.
It isn't stress in the classic sense, it's merely creating two summer day cycles in the same time span as one normally occurs. The plant won't care and in fact I intend to use this schedule for the last few weeks of my veg cycle to get the plants fully ready for bloom- and to accelerate the Calvin cycle in the quest for better roots.

This is almost exactly the same as 'gas lantern' timing techniques from the plant's perspective. The only difference is that it's arranged differently;
Gaslight theory would have us run twelve on, five or six off, thirty minutes to an hour on, and the balance in darkness, some five hours give or take.
This just rearranges things so they progress like short days. I see little risk of herm or lighting stress, certainly nothing like light leaks.

Im not calling any body a liar or saying they are wrong I would just like to do it for my own personal experience ya know, assuming most people just have different views from what they have heard or read(why I asked in a thread to hear what they have heard). It's some thing I've thought about from time to time over the past 8 years an I wanna do it. I'm not gonna run an entire 1000w room to experiment that, I play on trying to make it a controlle. Seperated environments, t5s, one clone 12/12, one 6/6, and a seed(same plant) from 6/6. I check my plants daily so I hardly see a chance of some major contamination especially in there own little set ups. I'll do a journal when I do

Stupid is as stupid does. That's not advice

that would be fantastic. prove or disprove, good train of thought.

Thank you Cat, I wasn't calling the poster stupid, only the advice someone had given her. She has multiple posts tonight looking for additional answers to "tips" she has been given which are way out of line. Better to come here and get the truth than ruin a crop. Just sayin'. Find the ignore button.

i'm sorry mader, got the member/post mixed up. i was actually referring to vostok.
click on the member's avatar to the left, and you'll see working options, one of which is ignore. looks like he or someone else deleted that post, but, search his name, click the avatar, and click on ignore. you won't see any of his posts from then on unless you choose to deselect ignore in you user options (click your own name at the top of the screen)

that's true, and coming from me, it's going to sound crazy, but, ''you don't have to be a dick about it''...
unless it's deserved

i agree, it's like gas lantern. not ideal and unnecessary.

I'm not one to beat around the bush. You come looking for sound advice, sound advice is what you will get. If 6/6/6/6 was appropriate everyone would be doing it. No one is for a reason.that's true, and coming from me, it's going to sound crazy, but, ''you don't have to be a dick about it''...

This isn't logic, it's more like mob rule. Go where the science leads, and science has us try it and see what the results are.
My bet is that the plants won't flower, or if they express it won't go far. I'm thinking the plants will treat this just like gaslight.

Well said and dripping with irony. Stupid is as stupid does perfectly describes this nonsense. Please stop calling these crazy ideas that go against hundreds of thousands of years of plants evolution "science" because it is not. Run this silly "experiment"yourself and then publish your results, don't speculate wildly about biological processes you know nothing about and then cry when people who know better chastise you. If you think you are alone in your despair, check out any defoliation thread.

My goodness, but people get cranky when you challenge their fondly held notions! Try it and see what you get.
I'll use it for veg, just like gaslight. I'll do it so I can run another room just like it on the flip and keep them both in veg/preflower.
It works or it doesn't, no gnashing of teeth or beseeching the heavens for mercy/permission required.
