Yes respiration is constant. But during light out respiration rates increase by quite a significant amount. This allows the plant to convert the sugars produced by photosynthesis into we will just call it energy and move it throughout the plant to facilitate growth.
Now depending on light intensity under 24 hrs the plant may or may not be able to keep up. Under low light there is enough respiration and processing of the sugars into energy that the plant may keep up since production is slower.
Under high intensity the plant will not keep up and transition from photosynthesis to photorespiration as it becomes saturated so that it can process the sugars made. This results in a reduced amount of net photosynthesis and growth.
So depending on light intensity you may be able to run 24 hrs but I do not suggest it.
Yeah, me neither. Seems cruel. Cruelty doesn't produce good results (attack me all you want, authentic veal-and-foie-gras-lovers).
But the first part got to what I was curious about - thanks!
It comes down to the Mols per day. I cannot remember off the top of my head but Bruce B. mentions it in one of his You Tube Video's
Yes he did. I think it is something like 21 mols per day. I should go back and watch his video again. It might take a while because he is pretty detailed.He mentions that they really have not been able to reach the limit of light they can take. It is much higher than they originally thought.
Most indoor growers i have met in 30 years with big rooms that kept weed in supply all these years veg 24 hours.
And veal and foie-gras is for vaginas.
(I promised my Mom I would not use that other word)
Bigger grows, people I don't know used to be concerned with "spiking" the grid as well... 24hr veg, a day, and a night flower keeps consumption more constant.
That was my intended use, too.Bigger grows, people I don't know used to be concerned with "spiking" the grid as well... 24hr veg, a day, and a night flower keeps consumption more constant.
not sure what you mean?
Basically that power companies would track and monitor people with high kwh usage and determine at what intervals they used... if 18/6 or 12/12, they'd raise the red flagnot sure what you mean?
I try.Wow. Bizarre and appropriate.
That was my intended use, too.
Man, I used to get dumb about trying to match my 12/12 cycle with something else like a computer or whatnot.
Then I realized 400w is a whole lotta
You're not the first.
Just saying that if you're gonna pull say 50k watts total... Better to run it spread out. Like 10k 24hrs, 20k during the day flower, and 30k at night.
Basically that power companies would track and monitor people with high kwh usage and determine at what intervals they used... if 18/6 or 12/12, they'd raise the red flagand it'd be probable cause.
At least that's what my naive interpretation was as a kid with a 400w HPS.
Don't mean to speak for bud.
Oh, bud spoke in the time I wrote this... whatevs.
Everyone i knew just bribed the local power guys. Greed beats the law most all the time.
But i get it. The flipped rooms are so you can double production with the same wattage.
