Yh just round and round like thatOn that rotation?
I dint iv seen it somwhereHow did you come up with that idea? Would be interesting to see what happens. 6 1/2 / 3 1/4 might work too.
What a total load of BS. Everyone knows that more Cal-Mag is all anyone ever really needs to avoid deficiencies. But in a pinch:You could also try giving them whisky instead of water. Make sure to add a couple women's over-50 multivitamins to avoid any nutrient deficiencies.
I remember watching my dad change motor oil in his vehicles in the 70s. He’d pull rite up to the storm drain in the street in front of the house pull the drain plug and let her rip rite in the storm drain. Now we have no pollywogs or salamanders and I only have 3 toes on 1 foot!!What a total load of BS. Everyone knows that more Cal-Mag is all anyone ever really needs to avoid deficiencies.

I didn't mean to tease, that's just an odd ratio and idea relative to popular opinion. @Daikokuten said it well. Majority will say anything less than 24 in veg is lost time. I personally agree, the only exception imo is if you were in a uncontrolled very warm climate, it might be worth a 4 or 6 hour lights out in the warmest part of the day.I dint iv seen it somwhere
Always do things in priority. Different things affect plants to varying degrees, so fostering what you explained here is critical to success. And really, that's true for all of life. Temperature > additional light imo for certain.I didn't mean to tease, that's just an odd ratio and idea relative to popular opinion. @Daikokuten said it well.

Really? Plants have evolved for millions of years under a 24 day but their biology doesn't work well under that? They can only consume starches during darkness? If what you are saying were true, then 24/hr light schedules during veg should kill the plants. We don't see that.6/2 utilizes built up starches in the plant more effectively. Plants max out their starch banks over an 18 hour light cycle and only begin to access them in the 6 hrs of dark.
Secondly - 18+ hours of light builds up heat & overly intense light stresses our ladies out. Giving them a break a few times a day eliviates these stresses.
There are some pros to the 6/2 (9/3) cycles.
