24-on 12-off light cycle

[Digipro]

I kind of captured the trichs. I dont remember how many weeks into flower it was.

yea i thik you thinking right as flowers in thw wild dont flower after 8 weeks they take longer and also stay longer in veg and i mentioned beforre about been on the precipis if your on the precipis like you ra too then it will veg and flower but not the same way iot does in 12/12 were it is on constant hurry to fnish off thinking the days are going to get shorter so yes i think if you can keep it on a cerrtain light period it wil still keep producing trichs till your switch it to 12/12 to finsh the lot off. the plant does not grow as high cause it not in a constant veg light cycle your switching between them .

and also for the light so you just keep the light at the top of the tent and just alter its power setting to get the right par and dli ? so when there first go in you would haveit at half power . o dont imagen my tent been able to be up in the tent that high and be abole to give seedlings enough light thats all .

and what are youusing to take pictures ? this trichs look great long and not bent over or anything like there reaching for the light lol

lol... maybe?
But if 2 to 4 weeks isn't what he meant, just the added cost per bud in electricity and food seems like it would be extremely prohibitive.

Shizz re reading it does look like he meant 24 weeks .....that's insane flower time like 6 months of flower .....that is nuts fr now I gotta know lol

Yes it's weird cuz these crystals look good and young ?? When where these pics taken what week of flower ?

How long did you say she flowered for ? And what week where these pics taken ?

Hey bro how the goes the grow ?

grows going fine havent taken any recent picks but the litle ones are happy after trasplant form single nuckets to the rwdc which is going from 1200EC to 2400EC lol recomended is highest 1800EC but there looking ok. also found this video about lights times thought i would post it here ,
its about lights times and the ebst light time for increased bud is to go from your seed lighting time say 18/6 to 12/12 then back up to 13/11 and then finish off going back to m12/12 or lower say going alway down to 10/14 or 9/15 he says shorter nights gives littler and fatter but denser buds but longer will elongate them slightly so mix both start them flowering get the buds to elongate and then shorten the nights to get them to go fatter . it recomenddd you go from each light cycle an hour a day so alter each day by an hour to gradully change the light time to each cycle so a mix of both short and long flowering days .

Lol I have watched ALL mr.growits videos !! Idc what y'all say Chris is absolutely one of the top 10 YouTube grow channel of all time!!! Lol his videos STILL better with more views than 95% of the grow bros on the tube lol

 

[Digipro]

yea i have watched a few of his videos and a few others . but think i might do t that way next time give 2 weeks of 13/11 then back to 12/12

Yea I remember way back when I used to watch those guys while I stood over a single male plant in my closet stressing cuz it doesn't look like it should n it's not healthy at all and I diddnt even know there was male,female cannabis lmao. Back when I first stumbled onto growing anything.......

 

[Digipro]

yea planst are plants lol but yea i had one in my kitchen cupbaord with a 100watt light bulb on it it stretched rally bad and dint really produce any shoots untill i get a 120 watt led for the next one in a bigger airing cupbaord with tinfoil on the walls .

Yea I remember when I realized how much work it was gonna be n I walked away for almost a year,but I was landscaping for rich people n diddnt like the idea of caring for their plants while I diddnt have any. I sowed but diddnt reap. I will never do that again

Hey all,

Has anyone heard of or tried the 24/12 light cycle during flowering?

I recently read an article about it and as interesting as it was, I am looking for results

mean 24hrs light - then 12 hr dark ? if that correct ; feel that is insane . It takes 13-13.5hrs to induce the plant to flower (ref; plant biology) Guess I will read the article - if referenced I have found that instead of using 12/12 for flower - use 11/13 cycle using this will reduce flower time by 1 week plants start to make bud site at week 2 of flower (that tells you something) in the end "do what works for you and alway have an open mind" must say this is the first time I have ever heard of this - must be "Bro Science" !!!!

 

[safeman]

I am with you on the hours of darkness. Everything I have read says that there is hormone production that takes place during the hours of darkness and low light that starts and maintains the growing of the flowers. If that period of hormone production gets interrupted for a long enough time then the plant stops producing the hormone and stops the flowering. End result is that the grower would have to give it another 12 hours of dark to start the process over again.

this will make small plants

Well the plant pics u see are grown under the 24/12 light cycle,they look surprisingly good,scroll the thread check it out,I thought the same thing too but I can't deny the pics they look damn good. I rethinking light cycles now lol

I have seen no good evidence in this thread that you should do that. Unless your light is massively underpowered, these extra hours of light will not do anything wonderful for the plant. They need X amt of light per day, if your light is weak, yes more hours are needed to deliver what is needed, but anything beyond that amount is superfluous - meaning the plant can't do anything with it, other than defend against it by curling leaves down or away.

The long and short of this is, as always, the better your light is, the better your results will be.

If he has grown the plant under a 24/12 cycle it is very interesting,I too was very surprised when I saw the plant it has a few aspects that if his claims are true are very important in terms of possibilities and grow techniques. I would think if this was tru then he could reproduce results an document the jem in a journal. I have no reason to consider him a liar n he a cool dude so I don't see any harm and believing him until I have a reason not too. I agree that changing all your known and proven methods for the evidence presented here would be crazy but no one is saying anything like that lol I am just trying intrigued and poking around and deciding how this new information( if verified later on down the road) can be implemented in any way. I am not saying anyone should do anything,I do want more eyes on this grow for their opinions but I'm not saying this changes everything either lol

Digi cool af why wouldn't I be curious and want to see more ?

have grown seeds at 12/12 to harvest : results good to excellent pot BUT plant size was smaller than the 18/6 cycle - another advantage is the electric bill !! + it does shorten total grow time

24/12 makes no sense (wish plants could talk - maybe they would say "cut the lights")

I have grown 12/12 and I have had the same results. Great flower quality. Lower electric bill. Shorter grow time. BUT,,,,,, yields aren’t worth it to me in the long run. Just my opinion.
