This is quite the adventure you're starting! Could you explain the benefits/reasoning behind 4 on/2 off light schedule? I've never heard of/seen that one before. What are the parent plants for your strain you bred?

Also the plants seem to like it, seems to be more efficient, and then 2 less hours from 18, seems easier to control heat build up and more Calvin cycles.

Seems to be a little efficient but I have no data to back it up

Are you gunna go straight 12/12 from seed or give em some grow time? Curious as hell to c how this show pans out for ya

Around 11 popped up.

4/2 for hopefully 1-2months then I’ll try 2/2 again - that doesn’t work then I’ll do 14on10off

So this shortened light schedule peaked my interest, did some research, and it makes a lot of sense to me. Have you tried a 6on/2off cycle? I'm curious if you have and the 4/2 is even better.

Unfortunately at this point it’s all bro science. In my opinion there isn’t any issues running it other than helping give your plants a rest and your equipment a rest in different intervals. Some may even argue that the less stress on the plants is a disadvantage. I cannot wait for scientific studies to be done on this light schedule debate to truly find out if it’s worth running this over the normal 18/6.

Yea I’ve done 6/2

6/4 sounds ideal-for the Calvin cycle

but then we run out of day hours

If you start a plant from the start with a longer cycle, it might adjust.

Eventually I’ll do side by side in a controlled experiment.

It’s all in theory for now

I like it more than 18 hours straight on for the environmental controls and DLI purposes/heat build up/ more “cycles” in the daily period.

They are definitely getting stressed in other ways, although

Haha thanks

It’s already a pain lol

Not too bad though, it’s gonna get worse

They peepin

Aligned the rows better, had room to add 8 more plants in the back left corner here

Doing DLI adjustments

Duuuuuuude I just caught up on this wolvy berzerk style throw down You took FKIN SENNNNND IT and YOLO to another level here. No offense but you've helped me immensely cause I now don't feel alone about how long it takes me to water this should be hella more enjoyable to watch than to do ourselves so thanks for takin 196 for the team I dig your thoughts on potential bottom feed. Just a thought and prolly stupid one but what if you got rockwool slabs, cut holes for the cups in the rockwool, put all of it in 1 piece flood tray, and stick blumats in the rockwool
