Hi everyone. I was going to save this but here it goes. My uncle has been flowering a clone under an old 250hps unit he has for the past three weeks and get this. He is using this light cycle..... Are You Ready!!!!!...... 6 hours on 6 hours off and 6 hours back on again then 6 hours off. LOL... This is his light cycle for 24 hours. To my surprise the clone is flowering normal as can be.. He also is doing another clone under some t5's on this silly schedule. 3 on 3 off 3 on 3 off for the first 12 hours and then this light schedule repeats itself. Talk about funny. This plant is also flowering but the leaves look kind of different. I think it's the light coming on and off so many times doing this to the plant (not sure though). This light schedule is not to economical for an HID light IMO... You think..lol

What this has told my uncle and I is that plants calculate light in a 24 time frame. It don't matter to the plants what time of the day they recive it's light source just as long as the light on time doesn't go over the time frame for flowering. Did that make sense.

Didn't make sense to me at first ether..LOL SAAALLLLLLL help..
