24hour light double yield

[ninja1]

Anyone done this? I don't have room for a second tent due to odd shape and don't see tall tents with shelves built just to be a dark area. I'm gonna go for 18 plants 9 inside the tent at a time hoping I hit an oz per plant under a 600w inside 6.5l pots

double yield? i heard it was triple!

 

[dgp]

Not sure I understand the question. Are you talking about using a flip box for two separate rooms? Or are you asking is running lights for 24 hours,will double the yield. If so, the latter will revert them back to veg.
Nine ounces out of a tent Is easily doable depending on strain, method, and environmental factors.

I get 17.5oz's off 5 plants with a 600... You can do it... You can put autos on 24/7... But it's best at 20/4

 

[420 happends]

well it says in my jorge cervantes growers bible Who i am sure all know, he saying a 24/7 light cycle is useless and wastes electricity and bottom line pointless and i think you should just go with 18/6 cause going 24/7 lights on WONT double your yield i think you heard wrong,
Now TOPPING will increase your yield also depends on how many times you top after that, but yea even look it up going 24/7 with lights on WONT increase your bud/yield and you'll just be wasting electricity, other users "think" that by leaving the light on all night that the weed grows faster not true and even in the dark period the plant grows just an FYI.

for one why 9 plants, how big is the tent, go with 4 plants under your 600 and you can get 4 oz, off each plant, i veg under 24 hour light, NOT double yield or triple, it does a couple things, faster growth on some strains, not all, IMO faster transiion into flower as its more of a substantial light difference, youre cutting it in half, some will disagree, saying theres no benefit and its a waiste of light, but i do it cuz ive done 18/6 and 24, 24 seems to works better for me as i in a tent also 2 plantsunder 600 26 days flower now!!!!!!!!good luck but remember in a tent less plantsmore light is the KEY to a yield

im really hoping hes talking 24 hour veg!!!! or he shouldnt be growing thinkin 24 flower, and can i ask what the deal is with 20/4 whats the benefit of 4 dark hours in veg, plants want the light naturally, i can see the flower to 12/12 being somewhat stressful, but with a good strain, shouldnt effct it, and if 20, why not just 24,i would like to try if theres a benefit to it!!!!!!!!!

No I will have a seperate area for dark and light so rotate 9 plants at a time so I'm doing two grows at the same time with one set up hence double the yield.

Plants leaves and stems bushes and strengh grows in light. Their ROOTS grow in the dark. Bigger roots=bigger plant. Which is why when you turn the light back on your plant always looks like it took steroids in the dark period... I tend to not see any difference in light. I have to turn the light off and see it the next day, even if there is no difference. I still see a difference that's just how I am

 

[hydrocropper420]

k now jorges bible is the bible BUT its old, and hes not GOD, it will increase growth speed in veg without doubt, however, the plant IS feedng during darkess yes but WAY more in flower not so much in veg, lights lights lights, WHY do you think everyone says ''depends on how long yo veg'' this goes with light hours as well, take alaska for example where at some points of the year there 24 hours of light for days on end! ive done both, my plants have always grown FASTER is it, during veg, NOT more yield!!!!

You won't double the yield. This is called SOG. And there's no real difference then anyway else.
I would... VEG for a month... Put 2 big ass monsters under the 600 and SCROG it. THAT will give you the yield you want. And you won't have to worry about maintaining 18 plants... While the 2 are flowering, veg another 2.. Keep goin

In the North and South pole. There is no way any living thing can live their year round. Scientists go there to study and shut. But, to live there year round would result in death... BECAUSE of 24 hour light

 

[polyarcturus]

so you will be manually switching the plants (9 at a time) in and out of the light?

sounds like allota work. its not exactly double yeild(because youll still be using so many watt over a given time). you could get a flip box(or build one of your good with electronics)

your best bet would be to build another area with plastic and get another light bulbs and cordset and just switch the cords to the ballast. that way you only have to switch a cord 2x a day.

Corect, but the roots have absolutely no idea if its light or dark, its always dark, so the root are always feeding, the leave are NOT feeding during dark much at all thats why they stick up before lights on cuz theyre looking for light, once the lights are on , theyre solar panels feeding the rest of th plant in cluding MOST of the energy to the roots!!!!

I understand it'll be as if I'm using 1200w but I will get twice the amount within the same time period. I haven't got room for a second tent or I'd do that but I can build a dark area with shelves in order to fit the plants. I'm going for a 6 week flower strain so don't think it'll be too bad having to do it for 6weeks if I can pull an oz per a plant and have 9 inside under the 600w for each 12 hours then that'll be 18oz and worth it imo

Yes, and no. The roots know when it's dark because the leaves aren getting any light. When the plant is resting, the roots are growing. Because the energy the solar paneled leaves got from when the light was on, is now going to the roots when it's time to rest :smoke:

 

[hydrocropper420]

i know theres a north pole fairbanks alaska, but its 1700 miles south of the north pole, ever heard of that, or maybe ALASKAN THUNDERFUCK rings a bell, no more nosense please, nothing wrong with 24 hour light!!!!!!

Ill give ya that, its true!!!!!

Only one way to find out
You seem excited. Better to get a couple grows in and see if 9 is your magic number

P.S. We would all like a journal when you start it up. No Bo-Guarding

give it a go never heard of it being done but just set your alarms to be there and make the switches.
