My edit was long and people posted, so I'm quoting myself.
edit: sorry for exploding your non-comprehensive brains. Your improvements are based on adding limiting factors. That's sound science there!
12-1 lighting schedule, has anyone actually tried this?

lol your apology is accepted good sir,
thc is roduced during dark hours and degraded during light hours,
the flowering hormone is best brought on by dark hours and postponed with extended light hours,
to me seems during flowering the darkness is a good thing.
the best quality highest yielding plants are grown out doors, and at the end of the season when the days are drawing in and daylight lessens,
is this de ja vu?
i can accept even understand your scepticism i was at first too but then i decided i had nothing to lose but to try it,
but thats the thing you wont even try it, because youre trained to do what youve read to do.

I think you misunderstood. Limiting factors are a bad thing.
I don't disagree with 12-1 as it's just a trick, but it's also adding a limiting factor.
No matter how much you improve EVERYTHING ELSE nutrients, substrate, temp, environment, the limiting factor (low light) is slowing you down and robbing you of your yield.
You may still wind up with some dank smoke, but you will have less of it and that's a FACT.
THC is not produced in the dark and while degraded in the light, it's also produced by light. The sphere is there for a reason, it redirects all available photons to the exact middle of the trichome, guess why, to be trigger to produce THC.
edit: What I said earlier is that: in good climatic conditions, cannabis will use every last second of light available. If you've induced a long enough darkness period to trigger flowering, then give her as MUCH LIGHT AS POSSIBLE, while maintaining a flowering state.

ok so im uk so bear with,
i use 3 lights,
so each light saves 5 hours per day in veg, so 3 lights save 15 hours per day,
over the weeks thats 105 hours saved, over the 4 weeks vag theats 420 hours saved,
now for flower,
each light for the first 2 weeks saves 14 hours ie 11hours instead of 12,
so 3 lights will save 42 hours.
then the next 2 weeks will save 63 hours of light, the next 2 weeks will save 84 hours,
thats a total of 609 hours of power now price the average unit of power for you per hour and times that by 609,

i lol'd hard at this! wanna rep you but must spread teh love first,
If that's 609 hours of 1kW lamps, that's like 40$. lol.
And just 'cause there's 3-4 idiots ganging up on the one guy bringing botanical fact to the table, doesen't make you guys more right, just makes you a gaggle of morons.
Obviously advanced cultivation on troll-it-up means doing wacky shit without rhyme nor reason, then having people emptily "back it up".
