thanks zandor for setting the record straight, i was about to say..... Think of outside/mother nature...the sun cycle gets longer then shorter as the months wear on. In flower, I start flowering at 12/12, after a week move to 11/13, after 3 i go to 10/14 where i stay til the end. it just seems more natural to me, simulating what the sun really does.

also, doesnt the plant actually grow flowers during the dark cycle? isnt a longer dark cycle better for flower? This is what the consensus was at OG before it went down, so i consider it fact
narcoticrex Reviewed by narcoticrex on . extra hours of darkness - problem? hello everyone! :D so my plants are about three weeks into flowering and things are going as well as can be hoped (two happy healthy budding females :thumbsup: )... I do have one problem this weekend and was hoping to get some advice from more experienced growers... My plants are getting light from 8AM-8PM... but I will have houseguests this weekend and will need to go from stealth to superstealth... the result is that I will probably need to shut everything down at about 6PM, Rating: 5
