Light cycles

[OrangeHairs INC]

I'm just wondering, if for some reason one was not able to have a 20/4 light cycle, and could only do 12/12 for the whole growth, how would that effect it? I'm just wondering because all plants could get outside is 12/12. So I'm thinking it couldnt hurt the plant, Does it just take longer for the plant to grow?

Sorry to let you know but I seriously doubt that would work at all. The 12/12 cycle stimulates the plant to start flowering. The plant is growing during vegitation growth druing the summer during the time of day the light is out the longest. They have more than 12/12. You should also prob do 18/6 and why could you not do that if you can do 12/12?

Well I dont know, I guess i could do it, but I dont like leaving the light on all the time on acount of my crappy light set up, I have decent lights butnot really decent fixtures to put them in. Also i get what you are saying about the summer having more sun light a day.
