The only difference can be the schedule right?

Maybe I am reading this wrong, but in order for an experiment to work you have to control ALL variables other than the one you are testing.

Sorry, if I am being redundant or this is not helpful at all... :smokin:

This is why this type of accurate experimentation will take several gens unless one has physical/legal room to have a large grow. As with conducting most studies you cannot control all things at once. Sometimes yo have to systematically eliminate certain variables and then proceed to the next step. The need for an identical/parallel study, in concertion with what I am doing, is not something that can have adequate quality control.

Having been a Research & Development chemist for several years, I have a proficient understanding of method development and experimentaion setup. Since we are diecting this towards photo interuption and floral reversion I do not feel we need to control things such as exact same pots, same water etc. I say this because we know that they are not the known stimuli for floral reversion. Keep in mind though that in the controlled enviroment that I provide these things will be constant. I just do not feel that it woould be a prerequisite if a comparable study is conducted at another time by someone else.

I think the best info outside contributors could provide would be the light sampling that I ask for. Other than that, the actual stimuli's will be provided by myself and I will ask for feedback prior to each one being conducted for constructive feedback.

PS KingJustin - I am not sure I will be able to use your data for my purposes at this time, but it could prove usefull at a later time once we have established a good set point:thumbsup: . Please send all corespondance to: [email protected] Please do not email me till you have an accumulation of info since I will be saving these and tons of little emails could prove more problematic in regards to organizing.
Methyl3 Reviewed by Methyl3 on . An experiment in regards to stray light and light cycle interuption... I am going to be conducting a little experiment over the next few months. The basis for my experiment will be how much light is needed in order to interupt, stress and revert the flowering plants back into veg growth. The reason I am doing this is because I always see posters asking about absolute darkness and flowering. i have also seen it stated in various books that grow area MUST be kept completely dark. Is COMPLETE darkness needed or is it just another optimization factor that is Rating: 5
