9 hours light, 12 hours dark.

[growinforthefuture]

i have heard that 12 dark, 9 hours light will speed up the budding process. anyone know if this is true? I want to at least adjust the timing of my cycle due to day light savings time i am annoyed by that shit.

[invision]

so what happen to the other 3hrs of the day?

[MOBABN]

hahahaha seriously???

[Markass]

lol, sounds to me like you broadly misinterpreted daylight savings time..if you're down to 21 hour days now..

[Tomthehippie]

lol. Classic :D un lucky man better luck next thread! :D

You'll speed up the budding process, sure, but you'll also greatly reduce your yield. Don't do it.

no you tards.. you simulate more days in a shorter span of actual time... there are actually already like 10 threads about it in the advanced technique section. well at least like 3.

[mafia819]

i think those kind of plants ripes by amount of days receiving lights regardless of how many hours the lights are on..... you should seriously check this out.

l8r :cool:

[kindprincess]

if i'm not mistaken, this can be done with a digital timer;

slightly less yeild, but faster finish, as the days are shorter than that of reality.

it's like chickens; the light goes out and it's naptime, regardless of what time of day...

[mafia819]

after a few days they won't sleep even if lights are off trust me :)

[JackdaWack]

what do u mean they wont sleep if the lights are off.... no light... no photosythesis...meaning they are in a dark period.

[Weedhound]

Sleep?!

[mafia819]

i was quoting something kindprincess says about chickens... ;p

[Tomthehippie]

Keeping thermal heat images down at night when eventually time adjusts to the light being on at night would be a bitch.

[Weedhound]

Oh. K:)

unless you expect that; and grow in a reverse scedule... ;)

the 9/12 cycle is not fixed to a schedule of "earth days" and therefore the hours of the light period will be staggered, and fall during dark hours sometimes and during light hours at other times. is there really any risk of this? i grow somewhere that this sig would be obvious (like one board between the outside and 1400 watts of HIDs) i live in an urban area, near a buncha street lights and such. sorry to jack the thread, but wait its my thgreaqd in the first place

[Laredo]

gftf, i see no probs with your idea. if you're worried about a heat sig, then line your room with board insulation. then you wont have to worry.

to give you an idea, we are running over 2000w, no heat probs, inside temps are in the 70's, and the rooms are insulated.

THEN IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED.
