First attempt at a 24-hour "Martian Method"

[Dogznova]

I speed the clock day and night for yield, for potency and thrills. I'm not trying to cram 24 perceptual hours into 24 virtual hours (anymore, been there done it, no need to keep doing it for flamboance sake, beautifull but expensive parlor trick). I'm just trying to sneak you 12 perceptual darkness hours into 24 virtual hours, because it's something everybody else can do to. (We put ourselves in the average growers shoes to figure out what they need from us. What we can do doesn't matter if others can't use it.

Ok, I think I understand, but we still want to know how to speed up the clock. It's one of the final pieces of the puzzel..LOL.. I know, I know, just like my uncle says (damm Kids). I seen your new 24/12 post on martin nights slowing down the plant.

I guess a good question now should be. Is that light above correct. IR and not FR for the plant clock?

But at least we still believe in Halloween, when you know people are putting you on..

Sal... We will all be waiting for sure. I will be glad to help you out in any way I can...

Separating things helps (you), fixing the spectrum(s) then dialling the timers one step at a time. +Interval halfing saves steps...

This will be my next question sooon.

So while we're stuck in the provisional utility progression, you might want to check 24/12's last post, consider that 24 hours is enough to park a long Artificial Darkness night with some daylight to spare (even for 660nm)....

Yes sal.... I went and checked your 24/12 page out. Thanks for the post:thumbsup:. I think I understand a little better now. More then likely I shouldn't need to fill all of the martin night with artifecial light. We should be able to have plenty of time to shift the spectrum and have natural darkness in the same 12 hour cycle... OH my, did I just give away a clue:jointsmile:

These are not Martian Method Timers, we have disgarded timers over 24 hours as being too hard for the general public to schedule their lives arround. (You can use the Martian Method with 48+ timers, but we leave certain things like this to the more advanced home experimentors.)

OMG that's crazy 48+ timers LOL. I though the 10 my uncle has now was insane. WOW 48

There was a link in one of the posts to a FAQ about extended days that relates nicely to this

Yes, I posted that link. "That's what this light is doing". Ok I see... That makes sense now.

First attempt at a 24-hour "Martian Method" In order to keep track of events, at the request of some online friends, and in order to share the love with the rest of the cannabis community, I'm starting my first grow log using the Martian Method, which I learned about from a very helpful Salmayo, here: http://www..com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=30203&highlight=Martian and it has also been discussed in another thread on this board, starting at post 1438: http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-lighting/150174-perfect-led-grow-light-58.html Rating: 5
