What I think you'll find is the ones in less light stretch more looking for light.
The ones in more light make more bud weight if you harvest at the same time.
It may be the 24 hour finishes faster than a 12/12 as well.
Need 2 at 24 if you are going to be fair about it.
Make sure to record plant sizes/height as well throughout grow.
How many phenos in the strain that can happen.
I think 2 at 24/0 and 3 at 12/12 would show something.
More light equal more use of nutrients etc...
What I have found is they do not like straight 24/7 strong ( 70k+ lux ) light because that's not what they get.
But yeah it'll be interesting to see this strain and what is has in it when you grow it out.
I don't have to think about it. I'm simply repeating an experiment I've already done. I know the answer and this time with seeds given to me TO do this, by the dealer (that's right - I get 5 beans, that's it - 5! I don't give a shit how you think I should do it or what you think is fair. If you don't like it - How about you go buy some and do it yourself. I want more grown on the less side then 24/0 side..24/0= control and the others are the samplers, group A, plants 1 and 2. Group B, plants 1 and 2 {This is party of why I didn't want to get involved. Don't matter what I prove, somebodies going to whine about how I did it and they would do it differently}). So then with 5 beans, It'll break down to what I have available to utilize. In just how I use them....I'm thinking you're right on the money
The whole thing is going to be done in water only organic soil I build. All from a single batch and very, very uniform!
MJ will increase in yield the more light it can get in bloom. Done experimenting with that too. The more light over 12/12 you increase. The more stress and slower the plant blooms. SOME indica strains (photo's) will begin to bloom at about 14/10 - 13.75/10.25 but they tend to show a slow and weak bloom. Tried the 730nm light band trick to put a plant to "sleep" so you could run the lights another 2 hrs. Guess what? The increase was so small that the cost to do it, was more then the increase in yield could pay for! ! ! !
This is EXACTLY the same for AUTO plants! THIS is what I'm telling you guys here!
This is not a "strain" thing!
There is NO new ability to grow more (yield) because you can bloom in longer lighting hrs!
This is an "Auto"thing!
The side by side I'm going to do -
It's to get you guys to understand that your "Logic" conclusion of higher yields from all 24/0, 18/5, 14/10 over the "normal" accepted 12/12 are going to be minor and that your simply wasting money doing it!
BEEN THERE,DONE THAT! Now it's show you time!
I simply want to show the actual results of this to all you Auto growers. Personally, I have NO USE FOR THEM! They're nice to have for some of you with needs to fill in your limitations....
Look to the vault's comparative skywalker OG grow thread.....for when I begin to post. I'll post from popping to harvest. We'll weigh in at dry and I'll then cure it....
