hey, i was wondering how big of a diffence would it be in growing in veg cycle in a 16/8 hr cycle, and a 18/6 cycle? due to heating problems i have to switch it to 16/8, and i was wondering if i would still get a pretty big yelid as i would ina 18/6? i have always just did 18/6 so i don`t know..Anyone who does, or has did a 16/8 cycle all the way though veg, please give me some insight here. any help would be greatly appriciated.

You should stick with 18/6 since it's the basic answer for all our light cycle needs. Also, I read somewhere than between 16/8, 18/6, 20/4, 24/0, 20/0 seemed to be the cycle of most beneifit. Read it a few months ago, sorry I can't get into more details with that!


Cheers :)

How does CFL light have a different affect than HID light on light cycle? To me that doesn't make sense.

On a side note, I also remember seeing a thread claiming 20/4 had the best yield, with 18/6 providing 88.5% of the results as 20/4. But not only can I not find it now, I also don't know how reliable their experiments were.

i've been thinking about taking mine to 16/8 because that's what my peppers require to grow. I also want a high temp sativa strain that can withstand 85 degrees all day long. I love my weed, but growing peppers is a fucking a art!

I know this thread is ancient...but, having just received a gifted Pulse One monitor, I noticed the Veg Template suggests 16 hour light cycle. Gonna try this out for a grow just to test the waters.
