So we all know 12/12 for budding but, what happens if you did 10/14?

10 on 14 off through budding? Any difference than 12/12?

yep, you would have a smaller yeild. supposedly...

now, hypotheses come into play. others have tried this, i have not, so i can't offer my oppinion on this method. but...

supposedly you can flower with 12 hours of dark followed by 6 hours of light. this is done with a digital seven day timer, and is supposed to take a couple of weeks off the flower time. a day is only 18 hours instead of 24. you trick the plant into finishing earlier.

i watched a log where someone did this a couple years ago. they ended up with great results, but yeild was lower than that of his previous grows of the same strain.

so it would be best to just forget about it lol

yep, that's why 12/12 is so standard... stick with what works, you know?

tried and true. i am so against the 24 hour veggers though

10/14 or thereabouts is sometimes helpful to use on very long flowering sativas...especially in the last 1/2 of flower. A friend had a Haze for quite awhile that just wouldn't finish up completely if he didn't drop the light to 10 hours.

But in general..yeah..12/12 is the standard/way to go.

24/0 veg vs. 18/6 veg is a long-standing argument. IMO, such a decision is merely personal preference. Both work...that's all I know!

bt dt

thanks for your generic responce. no one like to create waves.

poor little plants never get 24 hour baths in nature

Yer right...poor little plants never get 24 hour "baths" in nature...

and nature doesn't flip the switch and drop the sunlight to 12/12 in an instant either...does
*she*?

so Im guessing *you're* dropping your flower times a minute a day from 18/6 to 12/12 to be in tune w/ nature and all...right?

c'mon man...c,mon....

I love this site you are all so helpful and friendly. Thanks for lettting me be a part of all this. It is so good to be able to share and listen . Because all day I am a mild manner normal person, but at night I qam this potsmoking, grower who loves his new hoby. lol. but anyway yeah 12-12 sounds the best from the peeps here in my circle that grow. good luck.

im blowing smoke here but only clone for 24/7 im a hard core 18/6 man

anyone would know how good it is to go 14/10 during flowering?(going slowly from 18/6 - 13/11) any help would be apreciated thanks=D

still no replies?
