There is a thread at Effects of different photoperiods on flowering. - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums with an experienced grower, Blckbrd, using 24/7 and 7/12 photoperiods. He claims identical results with less power consumption and 25% lest time. "I really do it to just speed up the harvest time. I like genetics that take 70+ days to flower and the 7/12 cycle is about 24% less time ( over two weeks less ) of flowering time. The finished product is huge, dense, and true to the genetic expectation. I have not observed any detriment at all."
JewBilly Reviewed by JewBilly on . Light cycle cuts down Flowering Time? I was on a forum and reading an article that was stating that changing the light cycle you can cut back flowering time and increase Yields.. If this is true it would be fantastic. I've read up on the Alternating Light Pattern Theory. Which people are claiming to also receive better results then all light's on. The article discussed a growers experiments with 18 hour light cycles, based on the theory that plants were most efficient at gathering light during only a portion of the 'day' Rating: 5
