Iv always ran 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flower but recently Iv changed to 18/6 veg... 15/9 for pre flower for a week before flower then 12/12 for the beginning of flower until week 3 then go 11/13 until week 7 or 8 depending on genetics and 10/14 tell harvest and Iv noticed a little boost in yeild but resin production is WAY better if your growing for extraction then use lower light levels/time just my experience.... DJ short says when you use a 11/13 light cycle your genetics will express more phenotypical expressions and Iv noticed each cultivar I have look way more distinctive and terp profiles become more complex but as for finish faster idk seems the same to meHas anyone tested the quality of 11 ON and 13 OFF buds? I think the 11 hours on makes them finish faster but I wonder about the quality and if the difference is noticeable. Also the yield difference.
I run 12/12 for about 6 weeks and then go 11/13 to simulate winter change, I also raise my lights some. As far as hard evidence, I take my lesson from DJ short and, if that man says it's good, I'm in. I get nice strong herbs at the end so maybe that's all I need. The whole subject of grow style is all personal preference. At the end of the day if the herb is good to you, it worked.
Then how does an auto flower on 24/7 light produce trichs?the more light the more buds! resin production is done in the dark
You wanna know a trichome trick, go an extra week of flowering so its past trichome clear stage, you want in between clear and cloudy, perfect balance of psychoactive head high and a numbing body buzz, works for all, takes some practice to get the color right and a trichome magnifying glass, if you're a pro grower I'm sure you'll nail with 2 grows, or better way do a 1 week start for plants a 3 week start for plants and a 5 week start for plants lots of practice finishing different times every 2 weeks, go by the first stuff I said about the 1 more week, it has to be right in the middle of the colorings , you'll get it(jewelry loop)i posted a thread related to this but put it in the wrong place,...i'm new to the e-farm thing.sorry logic.
in it i mentioned a variable light schedule for a 9 week strain i am running.
week 1-3 12hrs on
week 4-6 13hrs on
week 7-9 12hrs on:cool:
i have found that starting with 13 hours doesn't budset hard or quick enough for me.
and finishing with 13 seems to affects trichome development.i do enjoy the boost in
weight the x-tra light gives me.a total of 21 hours of light per run.
good luck.
