I'm curious... i have actually never heard of it. Would like to understand the reasoning or science behind it... I hate not know stuff lol.
Hey Aqua, I'll tell you you everything I know about it and to clear it up for everyone, your probably not going to find much science behind it, Its just one of those things that I know has been going on in the commercial cycle for a long time, and thats kinda where it stayed, I mentioned it a while back and just left it at that. people have heard of it and knew about like SSHZ said but its just not mainstream.
The only reason i brought it up again was because Rasta is the only commercial guy I heard talk about it openly, and he said it best the commercial guys just never talked about. out of all the guys I know that did it does it etc, none of them openly talked about it.
what i know is practical experience what I seen, remember these were big settings, hundreds, maybe thousands of plants, and to the contrary not all these guys are dumb, and their rooms are consistent, they know what their different strains are going to yield, so if you run a strain 3 or 4 times and your yield are very close, and then on the next time you do something different like change lighting and you notice , noticeable increased yield and quicker finishing, and then you can repeat that, I don't need anyone in a lab telling me whats happening. then other commercial guys hear of it, do it , get the same results that just reinforces what you all ready know. thats the very basic's Aqua if you want any more PM me
What i know is it worked for many guys in many rooms with all of different strains, but these were very consistent finely tuned rooms, will it work for everyone in their setup I don't know, are you going to see a big difference with a few plants probably not, I would think with 24 or so you would see noticeable difference. and not only do they do this with their lights for bud plants , but also do it for their seed plants as well. Some of you guys mentioned THC etc. I know when all this was going on , which wasn't yesterday, all the testing was still being done, and their was never a compromise with loss of THC terp, flavor etc. Me personally I liked to do a 24 hour dark period at the end and harvest from that.
Again I just put this out there for anyone, who maybe interested in, doesn't know of it and wants to look into it, if you want to argue, argue with yourself lol as I'm not interested in that. Sorry SSHZ I never should have started this in your thread.
