err.. winter is long nights and short days.

As far as I understand it, sunlight breaks down the chemical that plants need to flower. So when you shorten the day and lengthen the night, the chemical that makes the plants flower builds up, making the plant bud. This is why some people do 48-72 hours darkness before switching to 12/12.


I don't think your idea is going to work, but it will be interesting to read other peoples opinions. I also fail to see what gain 24/24 would have.

Photoperiod Sooo been reading alot in photoperiod...without going into detail - long nights long days tell th plant winter is coming, forcing the plants to produce the buds and seeds I've been using 12/12 lighting and understand most do the same if I'm going 24 hour light for the veg, would it be possible to 24 on 24 off? I mean, were creating our own environment right? How is the plant to know? Anyways, has any one tried this? Or have any insight on how it would work? Rating: 5
