Yeah I've seen plants droop a little. But this one is crazy. The first couple times I noticed it I was like wtf? Couldn't figure it out. Then I noticed it went with the light schedule.

Gonna switch my timers tonight too. If u guys say it's all good I trust u. Even though all I ever see any u posting pics of is that gross sticky dense herb. Maybe if I combine this tech with my skill and exp I'll be able to get some sweet airy nonsticky goodness!!!! Fingers crossed.

i dig solid experience.

on my way to the lab in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 to change all the timers to 11/13.

veg is 20/4 in my main tent as i'm finding some dark not only saves $ but the plants just look better imo.

my thinking is plants need dark time since they shift processes ...from daytime sugar making to night time transpiration.

yah, i have read ages ago that plants grown under 24 hours of light vs plants grown under 18 hours of light would grow 33% faster, so seeing this naturally i tried it.. i'm pretty sure it was jorge cerventes who said this..
then for some reason i don't remember, i switched to 18 / 6 and i think the plants look much better and have a somewhat faster growth rate as well..
just my $.02..

Yep I did the same thing. To me plants look much healthier and seem to grow better overall with a dark period. I didnt care for 24/0 at all.

I do 24h of light. It causes them to grow up more slowly but they get wider with longer arms. My plants get super wide bushy looking. The darkness allows theplant to stretch, but I rather let all the stretching happen in flower instead since I flower outdoor. 24h keeps the plants short and wide and if you top gives you better multiple tops imho. Of course when I put them out to flower they stretch like mofos, but no ceiling means no worries.

I've done 24/0, 18/6 and 20/4...I like 20/4 best....I've seen no benefit to running them 24 hours...and if I had higher wattage lights I'd go down to 18/6.

I'm in! I've read the debates back and forth on 18/6 vs 20/4 so my girls have been at 19/5 all along. This weekend, I'm making the switch to 11/13 for flowering. Although, I'm going to miss them... I have personally been on 19/5 pretty much all month myself. I've been there when the lights come on (or within a half hour after) and I'm usually staring at them when the lights go off.

I have yet to find a timer that can handle my lumitek 1000w digital ballast. Normally I try a timer and my fuse turns off.

That doesn't make sense. Electronic ballasts use about 9 amps. Most cheap timers are 15 amp. I just bought two cheap digital ones for $12 a piece from PLH. They are 15 amp. Sounds like something else is wrong to me

There.are plant functions that only occur at night.

I believe all living things need to sleep. They can go without sleep, but they'll be all strung out and seeing shadow ppl after a while lol

Girls don't have it worse than guys, they can have the world on a silver platter if they want, it just depends how slutty they wanna be.

Girls get treated way better imo. I don't believe there is any job that a woman can't get. Its not the 60s. Ladies run company's, judge court cases, and perform brain surgery.

But the power of the pussy is the most powerful of all.

No offense to anyone.

Yeah, it seems that way until you think about the fact that this power only works on men. Just watch women in the workplace compete with each other or a female boss with female workers. Meowroarscratchclawspit! That hire me 'cause I'm attractive shit doesn't work on chics, lol.
