Gradual light change rather than abrupt 12/12?
Is there any benefit to doing a gradual change from 18/6 to 12/12? I have been wondering about these things lately. It seems like if you wanted to imitate nature a graded light switch would be more natural and possibly stress the plant less. Also maybe it would elongate flowering sites before flower set lending to larger buds overall? I know it would probably set harvest back but I wonder bout the overall potency and yield differences.
Has anyone tried this?
I was thinking about how a photoresistor mounted outside controlling an array of indoor lights would work. It would follow the natural seasonal day length change. Do you think there would there be any advantage to this sort of experiment or has anyone done any?jakester Reviewed by jakester on . Gradual light change rather than abrupt 12/12?

Personally, I want them tanned golden brown but not crispy....and no one likes cold raw dough in the middle of their cookie.
