shit! i just wrote alot and then hit my home button and lost it. it was written well too! grr.
yeah, tor,
I am interested in the light cycles of these auto flowers in general,
from what i know, i am under the impression that you can't light poison these guys. this is because the light cycles don't stress the plant because the light does not control the hormones in the plant that control veg/flowering.
if you give these guys very little light, they will still flower tiny little buds. kinda makes me wonder what i could do with a variety like this under cfl in the wheel with like a way denser layout and way less light. if you could get 500 1g buds, that would be sweet. just line the whole inside with those 1.5 starter cubes. and flood up into the wheel)
anyways, light cycles:
what i want to know, is if changing the light cycle could benefit an auto. since it doesn't stress the plant's flower cycle at all, maybe the roots and leaves would thrive more under an augmented cycle (like us navy submariners, lol)
maybe long shifts like:
30 hours on / 6 hours off
or 36 on/ 4 off
or power naps like:
8 hours on / 1 off
or 4 hours on / (1/2) off
i think the plant will still perform different functions between night and day even though the flowering by light cycle gene has been bred out.
i will do some experimenting to find out, buti have to wait until my wheel is full of autos. right now i have all those regulars in there so 12/12 is a must.
this isn't what i wrote the first time. oh well.
