In my experience the stretch staggers as you raise the light for example if you start off with MH at 2 ft distance the plant will stretch to get into the sweet spot then the nodes are close for six inches and then the lower branches stretch up to the conical node by that time I raise the light or LST which triggers another stretch until the dominate cola gets into that sweet spot. So yes GLR causes some stretch but plant does not stay in that stretch, it staggers for lack of better terms.

Yes... Whats up oldskoller???? How are ya brother..@Clamper3 are you the same clamper 3 i no from another site
Yes this helps with cutting the stretch down ...I was under the impression this method was great for limited space as it helped control stretch?
i like that setup friendI am gonna mainline 2 on my next run and FULLY implement the Gas Lantern Routine !
I am at 3 weeks of flower now and am using the diminishing light schedule.

Let him know we miss having him around.Caveman is my uncle and I'm one of the cavemen that use these ancient techniques. Keep in mynd that sufficcient lighting is crucial with this approach. I would not cut any corners, if your on the fence about if there is enough light in a corner or deep in the canopy, I would arrange your plants to be confident that enough light is hitting the plant. Flo's will work to interrupt the dark but I would use the same wattage as day not any less....IME this (glr, dls, tlo,)approach to growing is superior in unlocking plants full potential. Peace and cavemen grease!
Love the Avatar, I hope you don't mind my imposition? I been following that tree mason avatar for awhile now but was not never invited formerly, I figured I would just join myself into this treemason idea to find out if it's really a "thing"....by the way I want to grow soon using this Gas Lantern Routine and Diminishing light flower schedule @caveman4.20 hope you don't mind me posting up some contributions...peace and GLR greaseYes this helps with cutting the stretch down ...
well its a fact your plants grow more in the dark they use there energy to soak up light energy then in the dark they use that energy to grow plus it cuts down on your electric bill esp when your pushin 1000w hpsI am actually looking for someone qualified to enlighten me also...this is the limited amount that i know.
veg. 12 on 51/2off 1on 51/2 off =24hrs
Flower 11 on 13 off
id like to here experienced experimenters and those with an opinion...
I gotta do some research before jumping into this one, what got me interested is a Botany nerd friend mentioned it but i didnt want to reveal my interest. He claims this fills the plant with flowering hormones and that hour inturruption in the veg. keeps the plant from sexing. The flowering time removes that hour of interuption allowing the plant to sex and flourish with an overload of natural flowering hormones.
My main concern is how males grow in this environment i dont need no superfast growing male pollinating everything over night>?
Could you point us to a link about that fact? I'm highly interested in this subject!well its a fact your plants grow more in the dark they use there energy to soak up light energy then in the dark they use that energy to grow plus it cuts down on your electric bill esp when your pushin 1000w hps
Wow you know somethings you have to just keep secret for the sake of mastering first before revealing it as help and your getting warm to something else im trying and if it works towards my goal of getting more with less then ill share it... basically trying to not replicate but attempt to mimmick the night cycle etc...
