No way these are going 60 days.
Will give em 50-55 and reassess but I doubt they go that long.
These were vegged 3-4weeks using 12:1 and then flowered under 8/16.
So to anyone saying 12:1, glr, or shortened flower cycles don't work...
Your wrong

As I understood it over the years MH's finish about a week or two faster then one under a HPS . I can't prove it personally as I have never finished under an MH but that's what I've read .I'm pulling a couple of mine at day 56 , by the looks of it , its hitting dead on day 56 !

Gas lantern timing caused my veg girls to basically stop growing. They didn't flip, but they weren't getting bigger. It may be that I didn't give them enough time to get used to the new schedule.

Ok so im not sure if anyone else had attempted to actually try this new lighting schedule or if anyone read the article.
Anyhow in skunks feb/march issue there was an article on alternative lighting schedules and i was very curious if their is any validity to it and figure the best way to find out is to try it myself.

Basically the article says that a flowering or fruiting plant only needs a 6 hr light schedule so 6/18 is supposed to give you tighter bigger fatter buds in less flowering time than 12:12

Very interesting! Thanks for putting that out there.

There's an interesting discussion going on in the 315W LEC lamp thread about photomorphic responses when changing spectra from veg to bloom.

In other words, it's not just the light in your bloomroom that affects the stretch, it's also the light in veg and how different it is.
