the only reason to do 18/6 would be to save electricity
Thanks. :anim_30: That info just saved me a lot of time in the library. :icon_spin:the only reason to do 18/6 would be to save electricity
Look forward to it and TXIA for the effort and time. I've inadvertently rooted clones in water and mostly dark due to short term space out. I took a half dozen cuts 3-4 weeks into flwr off of a specimen that I wanted to safeguard back-up on, (am returning to indoor action after a hectic and unplanned break), and rooted them outdoors in their mother's container approx 13/12 (and counting down) and they're established. Recieved a tray of cuts grown in sponge plugs from a breeder that had a fully rooted cut w/ an S-1 bean dangling from it. Lots of ways to skin the cat. I'm looking for the gold standard(s) or, at least, to have a better understanding of what those standards might be than the 'maybe, maybe's' that I have on the subject right now. (sound familiar to anyone else?) LOLPhotosynthesis requires water and thus roots, so cuts are putting all energy into rooting anyway. However i know people that root in the dark. I should have a rooting thread up by tomorrow.

i've got 2 strains in 1st stage pots and some purple autos i'm popping into 1 gals... autos being a one shot deal, of course. ;-)) one set under 18/6 the other 24/0. both sides going under 2' x 4' T-5 panels- > MH/HPS 2mix later. not going to make a big deal of it. will take a pic or 2 every couple of weeks or so if I see a worthy contrast above and/or below grade. will post them here only if u want. ciao.

Yep. It's an unusual configuration for me. I had to go dark for about 3 mos- moved to the joys of outdoors as it exists in my marine layered, cold crop producing, botritis, cabbage moth lovin', butterfly vacationland.Photo period means any light, not just the light hanging over the plant in question. Great side by side though, if you can get the 18/6 actual dark for the 6.
The same strain would help a lot as well.

so, I've got 2 sealed neg air rooms to veg in. Will have discreet pp's for awhile- don't know how long until i map the logistics out.
