Phew! Enough to make one's head spin! Great stuff. I especially love how everyone has a different "best way". This is great stuff to be sharing, and perhaps some people will experiment, learn something new, and get fantastic results... all because someone shared their ideas. AMEN! I love it. The moral of THIS STORY is that everyone has the best way for them. No one is right, no one is wrong. What is golden to one man, is poision to another. Peace my brothers & sisters, this sharing has made me sentimental...

UPDATE:

Got my new reflector... installed it, have four separate chains that are 3' length so it is completely height adjustable... wondering if I'll have enough room for the ducting hose though... lemme know whatcha think...

Kush's and Kush Hybrids can full on flower in veg with Gas Lantern and this will seriously reduce your yield.

I am not a fan of Gas Lantern lighting although it can work with very specific strains.

Not trying to start anything, just that I have witnessed the exact opposite over the five years I've been using 12/1 in veg, with all different strains and breeders, kushes, sativas, indicas, hybrids, good genetics, shit genetics...I highly doubt the 12/1 veg schedule messed your run up that time, it was probably something else...

The light cycle i use is 12/12 from seed til I've sexed out my plants. From there I take cuttings from each seed plant and then once each cutting has rooted I switch my cycle on the clones to 14/12. My seed mothers cycle stay at 16/8

I have done all. 24/0 grows faster with closer nodes than if on 18/6 and 20/4. But 24/0, when its flower time. Plants get stressed. Produce seeds (few) , lagg on starting to flower depending on strain. 20/4 is a little faster than 18/6. I was doing 20/4 for a while. But when we changed the clocks. I accidentally set the timer for 21/3. I noticed after a couple of days later when I was there right when it turned on an hour early. They grew faster and lusher in soil than my buddies aero. No stress at all. I have been doing 21/3 ever since then....... Clones root in 5 - 7 days too.

Wow that was almost seven years since your reply brother.....wondering if with today's autoflower strains and with all the improvement all around, are you still suggesting 21/3 from seed to harvest? Much love

I don't grow autoflowers. Theyre still garbage. They"re crossed with ruderalis. This thread has nothing to do with autoflowers it's about veg schedules.


I've been vegging 16/8 for a while. Originally to save money on power and to mimic nature. That actually gets the fastest growth. But more stretch and earlier onset of flowering too If you have slow veggers like ogkb or dosidos then 16/8 will make them grow much faster.

Garbage in what way? And you go 21/3 full cycle with regular and or feminized seeds?

They're garbage because they're regular strains crossed with cannabis ruderalis.

Fems are garbage too. They don't have the traits from the male like stress recovery. They tend to hermie more often than not I only grow and breed regular photo seeds

I haven't ran 21/3 for veg in years. I run 16/8 like my last post said. READ! Plants do best when they have enough phytochrome sleep. I run 12/12 or 11/13 for flower
