14 On, 10 Off Lighting

[dookieface]

I seen around about this.. what are the pros and cons of it? And it should be done during the later stages of budding. But when is ideal? If most of the leaves had turned yellow but there is a significant amount of white hairs left. About let's say, 60-75% of white hairs. You think it's good for the 14 On, 10 Off Lighting?

I personally have no experience; however, from the material and resources i've read its actually 10 on and 14 off. Your mimicing nature and what your doing is telling the plant winter is getting ever closer. My understanding is that under this lighting schedule, your forcing the plants to reach maturity quicker (but at a 25% weight decrease).

Again, this is only information I read from The Cannabis Grow Bible by Greg Green and I have no experience doing so myself.

I've never tried those hours either but from what i'vbe heard and read i agree with Bonghit.

Personnaly, I've found that a 12/12 light cycle brings on budding nicely while still giving the plants plenty of hours of light to continue their overall growth.

Good luck.

They accually do most of their flowering or ripening,during the dark period!The light period if for photosynthesis! So the 12/12 is the way to grow,I mean go!

Ga Grown!

it is 10-on and 14-off all this does is makes it mature faster and gives you less yeild:(
