12-1 lighting schedule, has anyone actually tried this?
- Thread starter LILBSDAD
- Start date
all i can say is ... read up on it, its called the gas lantern schedule also called the 12-1 schedule which is used for veging and the diminishing light schedule which is used for flowering ... then maybe ill answer your questions if there reasonably intelligent
and yes i made a typo in the last message ..

You haven't answered my question.
I fully understand that you can trick a plant to staying in veg phase by breaking the dark cycle. You'll save about 5-10 hours of electricity a day.
Now answer my question.
Placate me and answer my unintelligent question, it should be easy right?
I thought a dumb question was one un-asked. There's no bad questions in the race to knowledge.
Now please, explain!
You seemed to be the expert according to your earlier post.

either you havent read any of this thread or speak a foriegn language?
its advantageous because over your entire grow you can save time and money,
during lights on hours the plant stores energy/sugars
during the dark it converts energy/sugars into growth.
you grow 18/6 flower 12/12 because a book tells you to, if you dont mind we'll experiment with our technique's.
well bro ...i dont think i said "i dont know why it advantageous or if it is or isnt detrimental" .. all i said was im not an expert , i just use it ... i already told you to read about it so you can be a little more informed before you comment .. cant help you if you dont know the basics sorry ....
its not worth trying to explain it to him azman lol he either can't read or doesnt want to .. i found people that comment like that arent worth the time lol
on another note great lookin plants ...
happy growin
All you're saving is pidly amounts of electricity.
NOW my question was WHY go under 12 hours down to 8 hours in flowering. A question completely unrelated to 12-5-1-5.
Dumbasses on troll-it-up doing things they dont understand, that others tell them to, while saying they refuse to do stuff they don't understand.
No one has said why going under a photoperiod that no natural cannabis plant ever EVER experienced, would be a good thing. Not 12-5-1-5, but things like 10-14, 8on-16off.

ok as stated in the article during the end of season when they day is getting shorter and daylight is getting less and less, thats being replicated here, also dark hours bring on thc production.
as for piddly amounts of electric as stated earlier on in the thread over my entire grow i will have saved over 500 hours of light usage, and you call it piddly?
pleae take the time to read the article again, slowly
as for doing s other tell them to, your entire knowledge on growing was taught read so wheres the difference?
sorry for editing, as for 8 on 16off no where it says to go to that it says dropping 30 mins every 2 weeks, would drop it to 9 for the final 2 weeks,
plus before i chop i put mine into 3 days complete darkness with no feed, also unnatural no?

well bro i grow the way i grow .. you grow the way you grow .. im not gonna explain it to someone who cant be bothered to find out more about something before he comments how unnatural it is .. not because i cant, but because you are just too lazy to read about it first ..
So you guys do things without any explanation as to why. Intelligent processes there.
You're growing a plant that's worth more than it's weight in fucking GOLD and you think your electricity savings matter? Lol.
Like I said, I understand you want to emulate nature, but dropping 30 minutes light a day happens nowhere. You lose 3 minutes a day from the solstice in Quebec, 6 minutes a day in Alaska. Nowhere on the planet where cannabis might have evolved, do the daylight hours drop that low.
Also, the 3 days in darkness thing, can you explain why you do that also? Or do you also just do it because it's one of those "cannabis things" you can't explain.

This is the stupid crap I'm talking about. Tellno1 is so off base in this discussion, lol.
