Not at the moment but possibly in the future. I’m using a Tuff Shed and one of my projects this summer is going to be building a partition to separate it into two rooms. Right now all the bambinas are one big happy family.

That's cool. It's my best guess, but I think is you would have the best results with a minimum of 8 hours skotoperiod. I would give them 13.5 DLI personally. That's 9.5 darkness. But it's still a guess. Keep them in vegetative growth but give it the darkness it needs. I have 2 spaces but very rarely use them to learn something and doing actual tests. I dont have the questions or time/space for more than what I have going on. Hell, even that is almost too much at times.

Who the hell has the time or space to go experimenting like you suggest?

Somebody does. We just need to send these questions to them. Because that is where the true answer is found. Theory, hypothesis, is still not the actual fact, the truth. It's more educated guesswork, imagination. Bro science. Real science involves doing the actual valid test. Not imagining results by thinking. See what I mean?

I think it's worth answering.

CAaI've noticed Autos seem to need a rest after 14/15 hours but as they go into flower they can take 18 hours and once you have buds say half way through you can 24 hour it without issue except more feedings, I don't know whether that might be the the R cannabis, I forgot the name, but could do with being at the latitude they grow in, it's possible that it doesn't go properly dark all summer.

I'm just guessing and I haven't read anything on the subject I've just been ruminating the past few weeks, that why now my F1 has actual big buds on I can leave it on 24 hour without it getting tired.

I believe they all need a rest though and will give it 18/6
