Its good thinking. I know some growers are experimenting with flowering times. People do 6/6. I think it gives a faster yet less yield grow. Do not know much about it but if you do a google search you will get some stuff.
Never thought of something like 6/18 It sure would take a long time to finish. It grows in the wild with more than 12 dark.
demoreal Reviewed by demoreal on . Light cycles and budding hormones? I read somewhere that cannabis plants are always producing a hormone that induces budding. Also this hormone is destroyed by light and this is why the plant will not bud when the days are long. The light is destroying the hormone enough so that it has little, if any, effect. Then when the light period is reduced to 12 hours, the reduction in light allows the hormone level to get high enough to allow the plant to bud. I was wondering if having even less light would make much of a difference Rating: 5
