    Flower Better on Night Cycle

    what does ur plant see when ur lights are out for 12hrs? do u have white walls? mirrorlike mylar walls? or red walls? blue walls? ---theres got to be some kind of sparkly light reflecting to be like stars and the moon to be what a plant sees which is the suns reflected light anyway---i go red...iv put an infrared 150W lamp on and off every 2 hours during the dark cycle for flowering .It comes on along near the floor not aiming at the plant but enough of the red light reflcts and sparkleshines off the floerescents around and above her just like the moon and stars ...---and it works---so try it....;;;or try using some little sparkley christmas lights ,just like stars right?

    I wouldn't do that. Plus the intensity from the stars and moonlight (the sun's light) is too weak for cannabis or any plants to sense. They do not factor towards the growth in any away. There is however a exception to this rule.

    neither would I , those stars.. are millions of miles away.. the light we see takes seconds sometimes minutes to travel through deep space and meet our eye.. you want basically no light at all... any light being leaked into your grow area will be enough "star light" for your plant

    This is the only exception for moonlight. But don't try to simulate nature, because it is nearly impossible, if any at all.

    That light you see from stars has been traveling for far longer than that. From the sun, light takes about 8 minutes to get to earth, next closest stars are about 4 light years away, many of the stars we see have died out long ago and we're just seeing light that was emitted millions or billions of years ago.

    Bad idea about the red light. Cannabis photosensitivity is highest to red and far red. Get the red out and go with complete darkness.

    the 150W infrared lamp is shaded out mostly in the room and only a little bit leaks to the above reflectors for optimal growth like i have proven.

    It seems that your technique is providing optimal growth, but in reality, your plants are growing and maturing faster because you have given them 14 hours of light and 10 hours of darkness. This will however, reduce your yield.

    well i'l say it so far about a pound on the 1 plant and weeks to go its a better yield than ever to use infrared periods during dark cycle. ---proven awesome yield!
