Photoperiod
I understand the logic here but still, its irrelevant.
So maybe, just maybe the plant doesnt grow on an hourly cycle, so maybe it grows on a ratio cycle. No matter how many hours of light there is applied if the same ratio as 12/12 is applied the plant should flower, right? If 16 hours of light followed by 8 hours of darkness is 2:1 ratio then you could theoretically double veg production by applying light at a 32/16 schedule.
Following the same logic as you one could theorize that 96/96 would be what, 4 times more productive than your wimpy 24/24 schedule? Does that even sound feasible to you?
There has to be a cut-off limit on the cycle wether its hourly or ratio.
Maybe experimenting with a single plant in a 16/16 schedule would be a good start. I wouldnt waste a plant on it though because if merely changing to a 16/16 schedule was more productive than 12/12 then that is what we would be reading these days. Somebody somewhere would have found this to be fact by now.
