so a plant takes CO2 and H2O, and using a process called "photosynthesis", which is powered by light, produces C6H12O6.
so if you remove the critical part of that equation, aka light, why would production go up?
answer: it doesn't, because this is anti-science whenever it is not pseudo-science.
So running 24/0 makes more bud than running 8/16 ?
Sativas make more thc than indicas ?
using black uv lights give you frosty buds but only if you grow widow ?
Dude its BS if RM3 turns his lights off and he gets better results are you saying he`s lying ?
Do something like what he does, if I`m using hids and leds I fire up the leds for 14 to 8 hours and use the hids for only 4 to 12, but I normally like to use led and induction lights less heat, so I can actually get my canopy under 40c for a change watering a lot is hard work I`m lazy so I like my canopy to be 30c and my rootzone under 22c
You seem to take one simple rule one small bit of science and the apply it to a huge dynamic situation and then without testing you know what`ll work best and why ?
Maybe RM3`s lights still emit heat during that hour, maybe the rest then light kick makes the plants grow more ?
I mean some people can Jog for 12 hours and some people can run for 5 take a break and run for another 5 and pass that jogging bitch with an hour to spare
Maybe a whole day of RM3`s lights is too much radiation for the plants and they need an hour to apply fresh sunblock ?
There`s a bunch of reasons why it could make more bud or better bud
I wouldn't knock the guy till I`d ran a plant in his set up his way and then I made my own adjustments and could compare A to B
and if its just about getting a certain high or taste then that`s even harder to compare as taste is personal and effect the high well personally I like a buzz, a low a couchlock but to each their own
