Can't see that being of benefit. Already reduced to 12 hrs of photosynthesis. Maybe 1-2hrs if you have enough light intensity.
Curious as to why you ask.
Just been trying to experiment and I had a buddy run this idea by me.
Apparently darkness is the reason behind the buds growth because darkness induces the production of Florigene and eventually helps the bud to mature. Just wondering what kind of effect this will have? Might just say F it try it and see
TheSay what? What is florigene?
I think your friend may be pulling your leg.

Ahhh ok. Yeah that happens from start to finish. The plant is always producing (don't think it's florigen but maybe) during the dark period... its then converted back to another compound and the name escapes me when the plant is photosynthesizing... so it's like a back and forth tug o war.The
Lol sorry my spelling sucks

When you hit around 13hrs of dark the balance shifs and the plant start to flower.... creating more is not necessary as the plant will stay in flower unless you shift the balance back by increase the lights on period... in which case it will reveg.
The plants make food by turning light energy into we will just call it food during photosynthesis. This food is then used to produce more growth... buds, stalks, leaves etc. The amount of light (photons) given to the plant daily (DLI) has a direct impact on the amount of growth it can produce including buds.
This is why we need high light in flower to get as many photons to the plants as we can in our limited 12hrs. It's a bit more complicated but your plan will greatly reduce your yields.
Nope and I never would. I don't have to in order to know both quality and quantity will suffer.Im looking for quality over quantity. Have you tried this before? Sounds like you have
I've done a run on 11/13, I won't do it again, smaller lighter buds & with the light off 13hrs it didn't help me go through the water in my pots, cooler through a longer night. I'm back to 12/12Im looking for quality over quantity. Have you tried this before? Sounds like you have
