The new light cycle I am trying out for VEG state is 12/5.5/1/5.5. That's 12 hrs light, 5.5 hrs dark, 1 hr light, 5.5 hrs dark. This is not meant to increased the rate of growth, but to create a stronger plant, thus producing better buds.
Not exactly the same, but very similar to my buddy's schedule that he uses on his outdoor starts.
I don't notice anything too different about his plants, other than being a bit smaller than the clones I kept running at a "normal" 18-6 schedule. The plants were nice and healthy looking.
Good luck in your experiment. :thumbsup:

Trying a radical new approach - Veg Hey Guys, I've only grown once before which was not successful, not because of what I did, but what I wasn't able to do..which was to care for my plants. I was forced to be away on business for an extended period of time which resulted in dead plants. My second attempt I have implemented a new light cycle that was proposed on the weed scene website.
