18 or 28 hour day ???

[Winks]

I'm really thinking after we get the light cycle data back another good one will be to try and test the different ligths. Like LED vs HPS and a shit load of CFL's.

This is one that will take me a while longer since lights are expensive. I'm going to keep my eye out on craigs list and ebay.

There is alot of misinformation just about lights in general. I"m seeing peeps grow widow that I want to lick the screen with cfl's, but others telling me that harvest is way better with HPS.

So if you know any good sales let me know. This I think is going to be a long term project. But I'm getting excited everytime I think of getting it started.



Any other cracking ideas? I'm starting a book of experiments to list and get ready.

Well, i think it has something to do with the type of lighting as well. With HID lights, 18/6 is reportedly excellent. With fluorescents and CFL's, higher longer light exposure works well. It would make sense seeing as how there is a great diff. between the lumen outputs of the above mentioned.

I think the best way will be to use the data with the light cycle then use differnt light sources and see if we get any of the same results



I think. I might be confusing myself here.


Stoners make the best scientists I think!!

I realized that this has gotten way off track from the origional thread so I started another one dedicated to using experiments to bust growing myths.


Enjoy!
