First attempt at a 24-hour "Martian Method"
this was on that USDA webpage too, I got my weird alternating red/far red schedule idea from some of what i read on that page.It's in some sort of veg/flower limbo and I think they're starting to lean toward flowering
"On April 9, 1952, the loose-knit team of scientists came up with another magnificently simple find. Seed hit with red light germinated unless it was then hit with far-red; but if red again ensued, it would germinate. Incredibly, all that mattered was which color came last even if the seed was struck by 100 alternating cycles of red and far-red.
That summer, the researchers confirmed the same switchability in flowering. Test plants flowered only if far-red light ended the sequence." - "Tripping the Light Switch Fantastic" was published in the September 1991 issue of Agricultural Research magazine.
