So much to learn - 12/1 Veg

[DogtowN]

To be more specific:

12-1 lighting is as follows: 12 hours lights on, 5.5 lights off, 1-hour lights on, 5.5 lights off, and repeat schedule. The 1 hour on in between off period fools the plants that stay in growth state!

If you're really tight on money and are just trying to pinch pennies on power, give it a go.
Running cfls I don't think the savings will really be that much, and I'm sure growth will be slower.

I've never used a schedule like that indoors, have used light interruption to prevent flowering outdoors, so the schedule works. I don't think it's all that great an idea for vegging though.
