i had a buddy of mine suggest something to me before that i had never heard of and his reaction was of disgust to the extent he didnt really elaborate on the matter and i recently bumped into some material on the subject and was wondering if anyone else has ever heard of this practice and if so what were the results because it sounds like it could be very beneficial
its a photoperiod cycle described or known as 12-1, exactly when my buddy suggested that i consider 12-1 cylce i didnt know what the hell he was talking about he laughed at me and walked of mumbling something to the effect that i read all those damn books and still dont know shit but never explained so a new year has come around and i found some info that states that 12-1 during the veg state lights can be operated for 12hrs on 5 1/2 hours off then 1hr on and the 5 1/2 hours off for every 24 hr day supply of light and and rest and continuosly run those setting for entirety of veg the claims are that the extra hrs of light are definitely not nessacary for established seedlings and clones with established and sufficient root zones and may even aid in the reduction of environmental stresses to plants caused by heat and/or excess humidity by providing a more natrual distrubution of light hours pr 24hr day in addition to the obvious benefit of cutting 5hrs of electrical usage for light and ballast during veg compared to the standard or popular method of vegging for 18-6 or similar after the establishment of sufficient root mass is not needed
12-1 for the flowering stage is intended to begin on a scale starting at 11hrs on 13hrs off and for the average flower cycle lasting approx 8-10 weeks hours of light on should gradualy decrease an 1/2hr every two weeks until the last two weeks or so of flowering being lights on 9hrs and 15hrs off this practice or theory claims to be very beneficial and stimulative for plant growth and exceleration seeing as though most significant development and healing from the effects of cloning and transplanting are done during lights out and the theory of it being more like the proper balance of light consumption to rest by tricking the plant with the staggered on off effect during veg and the gradual decrease in light like in outdoor setting as the seasons change as in most outdoor setting even more equtorial regions nowhere in the world i can think of gets 18 hrs of sunlight a day exept maybe alaska and parts of canada for 6 mos but its brick ass cold there so it still wouldnt apply for growing and the once again were cutting electrical cost startin at an hour a day at the begining of flowering increasing to 3hrs pr day at the end of flowering. shit i cant bullshit cha the overall electrical savings seem worthy of futher examination alone thats not even taking in consideration the other claims and boast of excellerated growth and better off overall well being by using this practice as long as if doesnt cost the plant or growing envirnment to suffer the electrical savings and less frequent replacement of equipment do to less use sem s like enough for me ill kindly step down off my soapbox now and hopefully i can get alot of feedback and insight into this matter
