flower power with pics 36 0n 12 off

yes what is the benefit of this? Do you harvest earlier or later? When you say 5 weeks you mean earth weeks right?
if your not saving time with the bloom than your using 3x the amount of electricity so this would have to have rediculous yeilds to justify it. Looks really good though but a penny sdaved is a penny earned.

Ha no but months at a time I was jkizzle I'm not doing this light cycle 12/12 is fine for me

hiesman the system is as simple as it gets everything sept the timer i use is at lowes or home depot im not sure the quart size on mine but lets just say they have 20qt and 40qt rubermaid bins they r both the same size od 1 can sit in the other grab those go to garden section get subm pond or fountain pump it doesnt have to be big once again in not for sure on the gph of mine but i get the second from the biggest. then get some tubing that will fit the pump and a pvc elbow then get some screened garden hose washers its just a rubber washer with screen in it or the things that fit down in drains and some plummers goop glue. take the smaller bin drill hole at 1 end for ur hose going to the pump measure it so pump touches bottom drill 3 more holes at other end and glue the screen over them and glue the elbow on the pump hose faceing the side and glue a screen on it keep pertile from washing back into ur pump put in perlite rines well to wash the small stuff out never mix in vermiculite keeps it to wet and clogs drains = flood on floor i have made this mistake hook pump tp timer and bang there u have it plus in a power outage u can still hand water

opps sorry sencond from the smallest pump

wetdog the timer i use for the light also at lowes under $20 it is digital has 28 on off settings u can set it to run weekly or by the day u can set each day up at a time the package ready like it wont it also says the shortest on time is 15min but the package is wrong i bought it for a pump and could make it turn on for 1 min if i wanted i think they just have a standard set of direct for all there timers

nice set up, i was gonna say most digital timers should work for the light schedule...have to keep an eye on this 1...

so does the 36/12 shorten or lengthen your flowering time?

seeing as it is dark sensitive and gets the dark period 24 hours less frequently, i would assume that it is lengthened slightly but just looking for your input on this.

and any comparison on yields vs. straight 12/12
im sure there are a few of us wondering these things!

good job and way to keep it interesting lol +rep

no it does not finish the any sooner if it does its minimal. i give 2 of my friends clones and mine to theres is a way bigger dif more compact flowers more trich and the strech gets filled were theres dont they end up with 3 or 4 inches of bare stems

if you really do have a timer from lowes that cheap that does 1 min intervals you should share that. Everyone that runs aero setups with 1 min intervals have to spend $80 on a cap timer, please share this info.

your plants look fucking great. any updates?

I think he uses a programmable timer that remembers 30-40 diff preset times
Not a true recycling timer so can't actually set like 1 min off/2 min on or whatever
Would have to program that over and over for everyday of the week and would run out of memory for the whole week

At least that is how my digital timer from lowes is that was 21$
But I shouldn't speak for the OP, just saying that's how mine is

yeah hes right there isnt enough settings to run aero. i got all the stuff to do aero the nutramist fogger and all that good stuff and the recycle timer is needed for that but i didnt care for it much so its a dust catcher on the shelf plus with my setup if somethinghappens to the power u can still hand water plus i can cram alot more clones in my setup as u can see from the side pic everything is top buds everything below the tops will be used for bubble

gee i guess my grow must not be that nice out of 471 views only 1 rep/ im saddened lol

Does it yield more? O.O

I've come to the conclusion it doesn't help the flowering time from what i've read skimming. NEttO fer sure

well its almost a week later so heres some porn for ya all i think next time im going in right b4 the lights come on an take some pics. ok 1 thru 3 at almost week 6 next 2 1 of a side shot at week 4 and the other at week2 and a couple days i think

im thinking with the hid lights out it show the trichs better anyone out have tips at better pic taking

Those plants look amazing Sven, I've never heard of anyone using this light but you are proving it to be effective. I'm very impressed and would like to know more about the pros and cons of a light cycle like that.

ty fuck the pro's dender flowers more flowers more trich and res production and guess if its is con like eevryone seems to think it the electric which isnt a con to me i run 3 400w and 1 600 m bill stays way under 300

Hi Sven, Well it certainly works and if something isn't broken, no need to change it. I am still puzzled at the extra electricity cost against final yield. A plants genetics limit to what it can produce in respect of THC strenght for example. But as I say, looking great.

I think for your Q's abotu vert, I am not sure with your style of growing that it would be beneficial. The plants need to have height on a vert to take advantage of the light position (imo)

Keep up the good work, sub'd.

Peace, DST

oh, and come and share your stuff at Club 600 (n my sig)

If you want to take quality pictures, use the flash. It shows true colors.
As for the 36/12. It really does not make sense to me. Using more power and actually throwing off the CO2 intake. Dont take my word, I am on only my second grow. I am still trying to figure the plant nutrient max.
But I am on the understanding that when the lights go out CO2 will build up in the room and when the lights come on thats when the plants really go to town eating.
I am only on week 5. Using DWC hydro though and liquid Koolbloom and plan on using Dry Koolbloom the last 2 weeks. Here is a teaser of the Williams Wonder and Purple Kush mix.
