Talking Photo Period plants here..
I know we all generally run veg either 24/day or some schedule where the lights are on more than 12 hours a day, say 16 on and 8 off. I run 24 hours...
Then when we switch to flower, we switch the lights to 12 on and 12 off (generally) to induce flowering...
In nature, the light schedule changes slowly from long days to short days, not suddenly.
Obviously switching suddenly works, otherwise we wouldn't do it.
Would there be any benefit to being able to schedule our lights in a way that would mimic nature, and gradually change the schedule? Maybe faster than nature would, or not, any thoughts?
