Cheers
do u really think the yield could be as good or was he just trying to sell the harvest master?
id think youd have to add a few "days" and/or lose some weight and density with half the light
Gotta spread some love before I hit you again, convex, thank you.
Sorry, don't mean to be a pain, I wasn't kidding when I have a hard time with this kind of thing. And, like I said, I've heard of staggering, but know little about it except for that which I have direct experience, and it's different from this, has a different purpose.
But when you start talking about electricity savings like you were outlining above..? THAT got my attention. That wasn't why I started using the staggered period, but it's a great benefit, and those are pretty decent savings if it works.
So, would you dedicate a run or two to this? I don't have the extra rooms, myself, so lighting experiments are taken with caution.
***I tried slogging through that TY to find the article in question and I couldn't find it easily. When do you begin the clock when calculating the change of light? I see that you said it's reduced by .5hrs every two weeks. You mentioned an average flowering time of 8-10 weeks and a lighting goal of... 9:ON/15:OFF, but not when the cycle is begun. Is there any mention of longer-flowering strains, OR, would this cycle speed up their flowering????
Ohh... think about that....
Which is very close to what I do with all my vegging ladies.i didnt know how else to say it but undergrounds got it light schedule for veg is almost like 12-12 but with a hour thrown in the middle of the dark period
When does the light reduction clock start was what I was asking, how long after the flip, but.. I guess there isn't a flip, per se. But! Someone else on another forum I belong to has started a thread on this Harvest Master controller thingy, and others who've used older and other versions have chimed in. They said there is a slight reduction in yield, though you get one more full harvest in per year. They couldn't answer about the power savings (yet).by seamaiden: When do you begin the clock when calculating the change of light? I see that you said it's reduced by .5hrs every two weeks.

i have no idea what you mean by: when do you begin the clock when calculating the change of light?
Sativa flowering can be manipulated by shortening daylight photoperiod, which can apparently be quite helpful with those girls who would spend two years flowering if you let them.as far as strains that take longer than 8-10 weeks to flower what i read did not directly state that the lighting schedule speeds up flowering times but it does imply that the extra darkness does promote excelled growth but not nessacarily maturity so i assume that if plants are not mature by the time you get down to 9on 15off youd continue that schedule until full maturity
get back at me on what exactly is meant by when the cycle is begun still confused about that
