I always end up standing there staring at the timer for several minutes thinking really hard about the math involved. :eek:
or, wait are you all saying i should extend my Dark time?
It's important to maintain a minimum of 12hrs of darkness. So, IF you can maintain that number as a minimum and just move the timer forward during the dark phase, go for it. If you find that, by the numbers, your dark phase won't be long enough, then you'll have to wait a full cycle (letting it be dark) before you shift the timer. Or at least, that's how I do it.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who stands there staring at the timer!
Ok... I'm sitting here visualizing a timer, your timer. The way I would do it is unplug everything for one full daytime cycle, then turn it all back on at 11am-12pm, otherwise they'd only be getting a 4.5hr night. IF I'm visualizing/reading this correctly, that is. Fuck, this is so much easier using an analog clock with movable hands.
Damn near! LMAO!You'al making it to difficult, Its only one day...or less... with 4 1/2 hours of light they be like saying "ahhh sun"
then at midnight, lights off "ahhh time to sleep" for 12 hours...then at noon lights on...
Its not that radical of a change in a 24 hour period. as long as you have your 12 hour or so of dark your girls, even the ones on different schedules will be fine.
if you stretch it out for a longer period (to change lights) the plants will notice, if you do it once, they will be fine. A long dark period 20-24 is ok too. it wont hurt nothing, just takes longer to get the switch over is all.
And I don't think anybody said a shorter dark time....?
Seamaiden... You counting with your fingers and toes??? lol ;)
I always maintain that 12hrs of dark as a minimum dark period. So, if I want to shift a night-timed daylight photoperiod to daytime, I just wait til the dark period, then change the timer.
I hope to hell that makes sense, because I always end up standing there staring at the timer for several minutes thinking really hard about the math involved. :o
And that will work just fine? It's not something I've done.
Yet another reason why I REALLY prefer growing outdoors, LMAO! No math involved for the lighting.
I dont agree with this statement at all, I have had at least 4 times in the last 5 years where we lost power for over 24 hours and both veg and flower were fine.
When you say really screws them up, what happens to them? Maybe an extra half inch of stretch?
