6/6/6/6 or 9/3/9/3 light schedule??? Or something similar?

Or quality?

Not that I can back up with real facts but imo they are thriving so I never felt the need to switch back to 18/6. I was noticing big time droop after about 14 or 15 hours before which is gone with the 9/3 regimen

What do you do for flower?

12/12 always. Can't mess with the flower photo period.

And no differences with that?
I feel like changing the amount of time in a day might stress it a bit.

I'm not sure what you mean? If you mean the autos they stay at 9/3 their whole run.

You said you're running autos and vegging plants at 9/3, are there any problems when you switch the photoperiod on the vegging plants.

When I flip to 12/12? No, they flower. Cannabis "pays attention" to the dark not the light. I don't know if that makes any sense lol

Ya it does, thanks.

I posted a thread not too long ago about this with a time lapse vid of both etc. but not a lot of interest in discussing it around here. Too "fringe"? Idk. I'm always tinkering for the sake of experimenting and learning new things.

Can you link it or tell me the name please?

Unless I was desperate to take advantage of lower electricity rates at certain hours I wouldn't be bothered, and even then I probably still wouldn't

WARNING ...I make crappy time lapse vids LOL. Trying to do more but I've been shuffling plants around too much the last few weeks

Time Lapse Vid: Transition to 6/2 light cycle effect on plants

This was obviously not a very scientific undertaking. I was noticing my plants really quitting after 12 hours under the lights and I felt like I was wasting 6 hours a day. This alternative has been floating around a while and I figured why not let's see. 6 hours on 2 off 3x a day... Fist vid is...

What if 18 hours of straight light was too much heat for the space and breaking it up help keep the temperature regulated would you do it then?

I'm running 8hrs off 16hrs on for veg in the first week. About to stretch that to 10/14 starting tonight. Going to flip two weeks in. I don't mess with flower either 12/12.

Some plants grow faster at night than during the day.

Some plants grow faster at night because the photosynthesis process has stopped, allowing the plant to focus on respiration. However, the difference in rate of growth depends on the type of plant and in many plants there is no significant difference.

So, do plants grow at night? Plants do grow at night which contradicts the common myth that plants only grow in sunlight. In fact, some plants even grow

This was right on transplant a week ago. An animal got to it because I forgot to close the window at night.

This is one was taken just now. I topped them three days ago. Couldn't really get the same perspective too big but if you look closely you can see the old chewed up leaves are still there

In the other room which is beginning of week 7 in flower. I Flipped them a week into veg and the growth a week in should have been expected but I was still surprised. These are the shortest plants I've grown in a very long time at three feet. The second layer of netting I hung up expecting them to hit at least four. The cycle after next I should be back into minimum month long veg cycles.
