It's there for those that want to watch it. The light cycle discussion is only like the first 6 minutes or so.

no matter what the outcome, we here on RIU love watching these experiments take hold. they are too far and few. Thanks op for giving it a go.
that said. Dr. Who you are on point with most well really every aspect except the reduced veg time. I've be running the 12 on 5.5 off 1 on 5.5 off method for 7 years and I've honestly lost track of the strains. I'm a scrogger and yet it doesn't beat out 18 on 6 off in height, I can control the hormone transfer much better. the flip into flower is quick and brings "most" plants into a great structure that fills their 3'x3' screen not only as quick but as i said better structure then their 18/6 counter parts. So from a time basis i believe we have room for improvement in the MJ world. Just my 2 cents from my own experience. keep it up OP! lets see what your work can educate us with.

Yeah nice thinking bro
And wow that's a lot of pressure on my shoulders,
I recon two differnt methods of each, choose the weakest to follow your normal schedule (want to see it in person ) and the other top at 3rd or 4th and mainline then obvz lst flowering stretch into a scrog net? Or just a even canopy ?
I think we need a public vote tho?

Took the other one out this morning. Down to this one.

Canopy temps, first node growth tips, 3rd/4th node growth, and the whole plant. Day 10 I believe. Watered this morning before the lights came on.
