8/8/8???

8 hour intervals? that's a terrible idea.. pot needs at least 13 hours of light for the vegg cycle.. and at most 13 for flowering.. personally i stay with 18/6 until i go into 12/12...

you're simulating the change of the season.. spring and summer the days are longer.. as you get into late summer and fall the days get shorter.. telling the plant it's time to flower...

once you change a light cycle to decrease the amount of light it gets don't increase it.. unless you intend to reveg the plant.. this will cause male flowers to grow...

some say the lighting cycle isn't important.. but when you're growing indoor, it can make or break a good crop.
