anyone interested in explaining this in English terms.

Maybe.. summerize this for everyone? Because I sure as hell can't.

I read it 11 times exactly. Still don't understand what it's trying to tell me.

I can't figure this shit out.. frustrating the shit out of me damn it. rofl.... :-?

Here it goes:


The only photoperiod manipulation from years of experiments that offered discernible improvements was this adjustment made for 1 or 2 calendar weeks at the point of maximum flowering rate: Daylength of 21 hours, 36 minutes with a dark period of 12 hours. To accomplish this, you need a 7 day, 24 hour digital timer. During a 7 day calendar week on Earth, the "sun" only cycles 5 times. This permits easily switching back to the regular 12/12 at your discretion. You may want to only alter during peak flower production to stimulate the plant's metabolism. Using this photoperiod throughout the flowering cycle will cause this:

A variety that takes 49 days of 12/12 to mature, won't see 49 - 12 hour dark periods under 21:36/12 until almost 10 calendar weeks have passed.

The total increase in light energy is almost 80%, which will produce larger yields, if all of your other enviromental conditions are kept optimal.

The total increase in flowering period is only 40%, half the potential room for improvement. This means you don't have to be perfect to win out.

Selective application of the 21:36/12 photperiod for only 1 or 2 weeks extends the wait only 2 to 4 Earth days, which makes up the missing 2 complete day and night cycles each week on Planet Ito. This permits the additional light energy to be provided without purchasing additional equipment or overloading existing circuits, which maximizes the existing system's capabilities. The main advantage is that matched with co2 and optimal nutrition, the plants metabolism will increase dramatically. I have only successfully tested this photoperiod for two weeks. The potential for a net increase of 40% over the entire cycle (80% increase in light energy vs. 40% longer wait) is worthwhile. Don't be afraid!

Day 1 - Sunday, 6:00am til Monday, 3:36am
Day 2 - Monday, 3:36pm til Tuesday, 1:12pm
Day 3 - Wednesday, 1:12am til Wednesday, 10:48pm
Day 4 - Thursday, 10:48am til Friday 8:24am
Day 5 - Friday, 8:24pm til Saturday 6:00pm


Now, anyone still interested in explaining this to everyone in english.. or just explain whats being said here?

Thanks in advance for any comments/advice good & bad.

Peace.:peace::blsmoke:

ok here is a shot in the dark. effectivley they are saying switch to 12/12 lighting but not 12 on. Ok

Day 1 - Sunday, 6:00am til Monday, 3:36am
Day 2 - Monday, 3:36pm til Tuesday, 1:12pm
Day 3 - Wednesday, 1:12am til Wednesday, 10:48pm
Day 4 - Thursday, 10:48am til Friday 8:24am
Day 5 - Friday, 8:24pm til Saturday 6:00pm


See in day 1. the lights come on sunday 06.00am and off monday 3.36am.
Day 2 the lights come on at 3.36pm. and off tuesday 1.12pm.
See you still get your 12 hours darkness but more light hours.
Not sure if this works though.
I would keep to tried and tested 12/12 personally.


Good luck

ahh.. I see it now. sheeesh.. i feel like a tard. lol... gahh.

Yea, I think i'll stick with the tried and true 12/12 method.

Although right now.. as of today. My girl thats been flowering for 10 days exactly...
I have her on a 10hr day; 14hr night.

I am pretty sure that since I have correspondingly extend the flowering period by 10 to 15%. There is an added bulk that makes up for the extended time but the buds may be a bit leafier.

Thanks again ppl.
peace.:peace:

no experience with 13+ hours of dark but I've read that the plant won't make use of any extra hours above 12

Hey man, where'd you dig this up? I thought plants needed 24 hour days... and if not, why 21:36/12 ?
Never heard of anything like that. but now that i think about it, they do the same for egg laying chickens. they alter the days with HIDs (usually MH) so that the chickens go through a few day cycles in just one day. therefor producing many more eggs. I guess if it works with animals it should work with plants.... right?

aahhhh.. here's a bit of FYI. hope this helps ya.

"If you extend the light period by an hour or two (13/11 to 14/10) you can correspondingly extend the flowering period by 10 to 15%. There is an added bulk that makes up for the extended time but the buds may be a bit leafier." -source came from RIU.org FAQ-

is this from a science fiction novel and you are taking it seriously?

same thing happened with the bible

where is this Planet Ito?

I've read this stuff before. For all the work involved tweaking timers (well PC based can make it easier) all for 1-3% increase *maybe*???

All the 'snake oil' ideas that come up, is amusing.

Stick to basics. Its easy, proven, works, etc.

(oh, and plants can't tell time, they just react to light periods given to them)
