Nope, don't even consider it

my priority is the faster finish and the extra harvest round each year. I breed so bein able to go thru more plants in a small area is priceless
Oh, so no valid reason at all then, since I don't believe that you get a faster finish from it, other than a maximum of 2 days, which could be avoided with a 6/2 cycle. You just harvest your plants early, as evidenced by your pics. 7 weeks indeed.

What you believe and what actually happens are 2 different things but like I already said each to their own

At least you're saving on power, though your weed must suck pretty bad. Mostly leaf by the look of it. And what's the point of an extra harvest round if it's less weight and lower quality? You would actually get more weed per year by going 10 weeks per round and having fewer rounds.

99% of them wouldn't know the difference between good weed and mediocre green leafy, stemmy crap, so it would be a waste of time asking them. But I think you SHOULD keep using your odd little system. You deserve no better. Quality weed is for the elites, like me. You couldn't handle quality weed anyway.

Sorry, RM3. You're not a bad dude really. I just don't agree with your theories, that's all. I was just screwing around in that last post.

Dude, I'm not sure what's got your panties in a twist here, but this just makes you look bad.

I don't agree with ALL of his theories, either. The other 99% of them work just fine though, and so does his weed. :bigjoint:

I do overstate things now and then.
I swear that there's something about @RM3's writing style or maybe it's his willingness to challenge convention that just rubs some people the wrong way.

It's not his fault at all; he's a humble guy with little pretense. But he does call bullshit on a lot of hydro store bro science and there's a very vocal faction that will shout that down anytime they hear it.

I've seen his setup and there's no magic fairy dust. Just a lot of trichomes.

You're absolutely right that he's leaving a lot of yield on the table, but what he gets is plenty for his purposes and I haven't found good reason to doubt his methods; he wants frost and he's willing to give up max yield to get it. Sure seems to be working!

I take mental notes every time we talk and his perspective broadens my own. I may not agree with everything he does but anytime someone gets me to see things in a new way I find it valuable. At my age, that doesn't happen a lot anymore, at least not about growing the plant.

That would be the constant UV. I don't believe the veg photoperiod has anything to do with it nor that it hastens ripening 7 weeks later. There's just no scientific basis for such a claim. Therefore I must find it very doubtful. Good for saving 5 hours of power a day though, and probably only losing a few days worth of growth in the process. RM3 is doing his part to reduce fossil fuel use, unless he gets hydro or nuclear power. Don't know why he doesn't just use a 13 hour day with 1 minute of red light in the middle of the night though. Or if you do get better growth with shorter dark periods, which is what his system results in, then why not a more regular cycle like 4.33/3.66 repeating? I only used those odd numbers to total 13 hours light per day, to equate to his total of 13 hours per day. In reality, I use 6/2 repeating for faster growth.

Wow, you're a punk!
I bet your weed is garbage. I've smoked his weed. Nothing airy there. Super good smoke too. You would probably turn down a second j, being used to bro science bud.
You must be extremely jealous to rip on @RM3 so hard.
Why not try things out for yourself, instead of looking like a complete moron?
@BobCajun you are a perfect example of why most peoples bud sucks. Closed minded, stuck on bro science. Enjoy your mids, I'll continue to add elements to my garden that make my weed so much better than yours.
