Mondays Crazy Idea - Light Schedules

[12345-54321]

Okay, we all know the different time schedules for flowering, but is there any information about a 6h on 6h off schedule or a 24h on 24h off having a pro or con effect on the growing.....Anyone out there tried this craziness?

Never tried it, myself... but one of the greatest things about growing your own is the fact that you're at liberty to experiment with new methods, ideas, tricks, etc. I think a lot of growers just prefer to stick with methods that replicate nature, or come close... which is probably why you're not getting a lot of feedback on the topic. I don't know if I'd try a 24 on/24 off schedule, as it might influence things like stem rot and mold with the lights being left off for such a long period of time. Anyway, be a pioneer, bro! And let us know how things work out for ya. :jointsmile:

Ive used up to 14 hrs on/off if I had to change my light period due to company or appointments or any other reason someone should be at my house. Noticed no ill effects either way, but cant say I saw any real gain either. ive also never done this for more than a few days (I think the longest I had to do it was 4 days b/c I had a house inspection in the smack dab middle of my lights on cycle). So I dunno. Itd probably be easier if I could find a timer that isnt on a set 24 hr schedual, haha. Its kind of a pain in the ass to remeber to set your timer ahead two hours at 6 am before yor first cup of coffee.
