18/6 and 24 hour on and off?

[Slevinkal]

Outdoors, the sunlight gradually fades in to full, the gradually fades out, takes about 1.5-2 hours, and the light cycle changes ever so slightly every day, taking me into 12-12,....

I dont remember where, but some cat in a forum said he supplements his HID light. A low watt CFL up high in the center of the area would come on 30 min before then go off when the HID came on. The light would come back on when the HID went off and stay on for 30 min longer. He flowered at 12/12 still though, so only 11 hours of HID a day.

I though about this option but said fukgettaboutit, dont want more wires and more timers...

Hey guys, im just curious if it would screw anything up or damage or whatever to my plant if i were to do 18/6 one day and then the next 2 days the 24 hour method and then after that back to 18/6 .....etc. and the reason i ask this is cause i want to do 24/7 but it would still be to much electricity for me to use even tho im using cool white t12 florescents, and want to get the most i can so i figured one day 18/6 and the 2 days 24.....thanx for reading and please get back to me soon fellow Rating: 5
