Ok I guess it’s hard to pull out good information from some people.
But the main part is the chart right here.
He was stating from a very expensive book that he was reading that during the veg cycle you can run whatever hours you want basically as long as there’s not eight hours of consistent darkness!
8 hours of consistent darkness will cause the flower hormones to activate!
and as long as you have a break under eight hours 7 hours or 5.5 off 1hr on 5.5hrs off on the back half 12 hours of darkness.
Front half of 12 hours all lights on. Basically it’s a breakdown of a 24 hour cycle in a day.
So he say run 12hrs lights on, then 5.5hrs off then 1hr lights on then 5.5hrs off. That’s a 24hr period and this technique is taken from the 12 one lantern formula which is hundreds of years old. 12hrs on Daytime (1hr on during dark cycle) 5.5hrs off x2 =11hrs +1hr of light =12hrs of the dark cycle.
He also stated with the extra sleep time that the plants are getting that his plants did better than others that use 24 hours or 18 six light schedule, so there was no need to run the extra 5+ hours.
And how He broke up the 5.5 hours off one hour on and 5.5hrs off was to use that timer. He didn’t advertise selling any of his products he didn’t advertise selling that timer either. He was just explaining the method and the tools that he used to get the job done.
compared to what the industry has told us to do.
none have talked about this, When I came across this I thought I’d share this valuable information. He got this from the hundreds of years old 12-1 Lattern technique.
