Low - how were the results, and how much do you think the lighting contributed?

Anyone here have enough space for two small grow areas to test this? Start with 2-4 girls in each with the EXACT same set up (lights/space/temp/humidity/ferts/water/air flow/co2/etc) but do one with the norm 24/0 or 18/6 then 7/12 on the one, with the other being the new suggested lighting. I'd like to see the difference in veg first, and then flower second. I can understand the flowering in many ways to be increased with the shorter light periods - most plants don't get concentrated light for THAT long each day anyways.

Hmmm - any studies that people are aware of for the ideal number of hours of direct sunlight the plants need outdoors? Roses prefer 6+ although some do very well with 4+ and then light or total shade the rest of the day. Some plants only like 2-4 hours direct at most. What about cannabis? What is this plant's preferred light intensity? That could signal how long they really need lights on at a time.

Also, does it matter that much to the veg time if it's 12/6 or 16/2 or 24/0? There are some people that do straight 12/12 for seedlings even, so... I don't really know. Anyone?
Buggy Reviewed by Buggy 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
