lol nice. I give friends $25 and hour plus all they can smoke while trimming.

I'm to giving of a person and usually give away too much.
Haven't needed help in a lil while now tho.
I actually like trimming and find it relaxing. Throw a hockey game on and I can sit for hours and I'm the only person that trims up to my expectations.

I used to work trimming full time, 12 hour days. Sucked ass. Money was good and I could smoke all day but it just got tedious. I out source my help now. My mom and brother are my first choice, then I will call friends. You got some nice beans there. popping all at once?

Should find out how many pop in a day or two

I'm asking about the 8 hour flowering instead of 12 hour, if it made any noticeable difference.. :rolleyes:

Yes
I noticed that my light is only on for 8 hours instead of 12
Using glr for veg then 8/16 the plants transition to flower is immediate. So is trichome production.
After dialling everything in and attempting a much larger plant count I'm hopeful that I will harvest 90% of a typical 18/6 12/12 grow using 35% less energy

I think I'm one of the only few on riu running anything less than 10/14

A lot of folks are using 12:1 or glr for veg but that's less risky to the average grower.

I'm running 6 on and 2 off three times a day in my prebloom veg and they sure seem to like it.

Thats awesome
I'm not surprised at all.
I think the first thing I've learnt is that there's still so much to learn and try.
I bet that schedule would sure help a lot of people dealing with heat issues. Plus it would make the narcs at the power company go wtf

Fortunately I live in Colorado and the local power company has made it clear they aren't interested in being an unpaid arm of law enforcement.

Your op is legal anyway but there's still a lot of underground guys risking their freedom.

And I used to be one of them, so I feel their pain.

The only reason this plant is still illegal is MONEY.

Changed timer in veg for 12:1. I gleaned that a couple folks designed flips for 8/16. where should I look for these? Again great read!

Here we are 24ish hours later.. my plants reacted by dancing in the dark. Leaves raised to the heavens in thanks.

I have a COB LED rack that acts like it's over powered. If I had a place to install it by itself I'd use that high intensity to try an 8/16 bloom cycle. I suspect the combination would produce some very interesting results.

I suspect you would be correct.
Interesting for sure
I haven't been lying or exaggerating anything sir. I gain nothing no matter
How another person chooses to grow.
