go for it YGF ...... I am every cinfidence and you have all my support....
He, who has learned to doubt and to ask questions where the norms forbid it, can never stop the habit. As such, every creative person is building bridges to those masses of people who are tied up helplessly by the pressures of peers and society. His is a step out and above the group. And however strong the creative person is enchained by conventions, he has unshackled himself on his way as a free and autonomous personality. As such, he may have cleared a new path for his group, his society and perhaps humankind in order to transform culture and
to create space for other free personalities who want to set new goals.
--Franz Oppenheimer (1864-1943)

Back in 1994, a friend of mine came to me and said, "you won't believe this!". His friend_a Brit. scientist in the antarctic, had discovered a really weird annomally. Seems a storm had knocked down a radio tower.
Remember this is 1994, computers were just becoming 'main stream'.
They had a 'record' of the event on the computer. Right before the antenna stuck the ground, the radio waves propagated in a fashion which had never been seen before. All, without exception, antenna's are orientated to be parallel with the broadcast tower, because that exposes the most amount of surface area for the collection and transmission of the radio waves. Think about that for a second
The Brit scientist (who we code named Dr. Frankenstein) gets to thinking about this_what else can you do down there_and designs a new kind of cell phone antenna (cell phones were the GPS/iPod) of the day. So now my friend comes to me with this outrageous statement and a fucking prototype! It was a piece of mylar with a sketched circuit connected to a piece of coax. Un-believable. It should have been a metal rod! Every antenna is a metal rod!
Cell phone reception was really terrible in those days. If everything was not perfect-goodbye. So, I got to testing this 'new antenna'. Put it behind the glovebox in the car_a place where cell phone would never work_and it worked. Hmmm, now I turned on the car's heater fan motor to high, in order to introduce unwanted RF into the close area behind the glove box....still worked. This obviously called for more testing. Eventually, every test I performed, this antenna the size of a matchbook cover worked, and worked really well.
Since I was in the electronic industry I was able to get appointments with the decision makers at the 'power house' antenna companies. Each and every one of them tested the prototype, and I got basically the same response from each of them. "We don't understand how it works, therefore, our engineering dept. turned the project down" I remember, telling the president of one company that "just because you are testing for banana's and I brought you an apple, doesn't mean it is not fruit.".
That prototype antenna evolved and today is inside of virtually every cell phone,cordless phone and virtually every device which broadcast or receives RF in the world. By using this technology, manufacturers were able to extend the life of the batter by such a quantum leap that cell phones were able to be made pocket size.
Next story will be the development and announcement of a product called "WalkMan"

cool stuff. couple of years ago i installed switch equipment in cell towers up the east coast. it is now what you call the at&t gsm network. we installed equipment every couple of miles throughout the boondocks everywhere to give the gsm coverage anywhere. i have very limited knowledge on it though. we craned in huge equipment and setup the sites as installers. the money was right but the boss was shady. paychecks never arrived on time. i am a jack of trades, master of none hehe.Back in 1994, a friend of mine came to me and said, "you won't believe this!".

We need to get this guy high. - Adjunct Assistant Professor in Cornell University’s Department of Plant Biology
Here is a portion of his research summary:
Arabidopsis uses two major classes of photoreceptors to mediate seedling de-etiolation. The cryptochromes (cry1 and cry2) absorb blue/ultraviolet-A (320-500 nm) light, whereas the phytochromes (phyA-phyE) predominantly regulate responses to red (600-700 nm) and far-red light (700-750 nm). PhyB to phyE predominantly regulate light responses under continuous red and white light, whereas phyA primarily regulates various far-red light responses, including inhibition of hypocotyl elongation, opening of the apical hook, expansion of cotyledons, and accumulation of anthocyanin.
My research group is interested in identifying genes (signaling intermediates) involved in the phyA signaling process, elucidating the biochemical and cellular mechanisms by which phyA relays perceived information to target genes, and understanding how light regulated gene expression leads to photomorphogenic development. The results of our research may provide guidance for genetic improvement of agronomically important, light-responsive traits such as sowing density, height, and flowering time, thus contributing to the development of more sustainable, environment-friendly agriculture.

Great find. It seems I might be right... at least it seems to have been proved that plants do prepare for sunlight by using chemicals.
In the case of cannabis, these are cbn, thcv...cbd, thc. tahoes thread on lights reaction with these chemicals is an excellent read.
I'm really tired tonight. Can hardly think straight. Thanks for the link YGF.

Yikes....took a hit off the bong and just had a thought.
What if plants don't do 24 hour periods? Could it be that 12/12 would produce acceptable veg growth? If so, then could 6/6 produce buds?, could we get 2 growth cycles into a 24 hour period?

Let's think about this. Who says that buds have to be 12/12. Know anyone who did 10/14 or similar?
If THC is produced as a preparation for the next lighting period. Well...... doh

Not sure on that one... light is not always as intense at specific times of day or year... take a lot more thought this one will. Thanks for the meal.

BTW, took a clipping from one of the stronger lower nodes and am attempting to clone it.
I figure 50/50. Maybe we know by weekend.

After watching weedman's THC,UVB and Me video on Youtube from Tahoe(YouTube - THC, UVB and Me) I think what you are saying makes sense. The way I see it (which is probably wrong) is that the resin that is being prouduced during the flowering stages is to capture more light due to the dwindling sunlight(Autumn and Winter). So in theory the less light that the plant gets during the flowering stage the more resin it will produce. But then again if the light is too little then the buds would turn out small but maybe full of resin. So what I am going to try with my current grow is carry on the 12/12 light until I have nice, juicy, fat buds, and then for the last 2 weeks I will give it 10/14 so the plant produces more resin to catch more light. Maybe even the last week try 8/16, but only once the buds are big and well formed. I know some peolpe even say leave it in the dark for a few days once you are ready to harvest but personally I think thats overboard, and not natural in any way.
