Ofc different veg styles result in different results, that's no debate because i've tried different styles so much, but my current grow is in 5 gallon air pots filled with 30% coco / 70% soil (soil being BioBizz All Mix that has all kind of different stuff mixed in it, seriously it's the best soil i've ever had when you mix it with coco to get the mix lighter, and you don't need nutes for a long time when you have it, it's so nice to start new plants with, and then slowly start giving nutes when the soil can't support the plants)
If that study is right, and i know it is at least some way, that means giving photoperiods (did they use photos btw?) 18/6 instead of 24h is far superior because of the stretching. Why would anyone wanna grow slow stretching plants that can't be manipulated faster and easier? How about testing other cycles and how they behave, they could give superior info about lights.
Do you have the actual full source in hand?
And yeah btw i've grown about 10 years, much more than the average growers, so i've getting hang of the whole thing and i use multiple tactics to manipulate my plants so i get the biggest plants with more colas than i can even sometimes handle

. So don't treat me like a new grower please, i'm just trying to maximize my light cycles if that gives me even better results. The "standard" cycles hsve treated me very well with adjusting my quantum boards to give pretty much perfect amount light with the right distance, so it's easy to bend the plants, crop them etc. so they grow fast and easy without any problems. Don't even remember having any problems in a long time. One plant comes in to my mind because i wasn't giving it enough nutes but the plant recover pretty fast after that.
The whole idea of this thread was to maximize the "normal" growers light cycles to get the ultimate results. We aren't growing in labs aren't we? And if we get more data how the plants behave under different light cycles (assuming the testings places are identical and near perfect conditions).
I want to know how the plants behave under from the start to the finish, because flowrering is also a part of the results i wanna see. Mutiple growers use different cycles in flowering stage too, but there's no actual data behind it.
