As long as you dnt have over 10h of continious dark it will not flower. As for whats optimal everybody has dufferent ideas

Cheapest veg is 5.5dark 1h light 5.5 dark 6 light and that will save power and not flower

Old theory that power companies track you? What wpuld they say about my aquarium 300w lamp its allsoo runing 12/12
Just trying to stay low, we r upgraded to a smart electric meter at the moment..

so If I use 5.5 dark 1h light 5.5 dark 12 hrs of light schedule.. will my bud production/quality be the same?

They will probably be double small and stretched a little but lots of stuff works on a 12h timer

That’s so right

Bro science had many fooled years ago
They don’t care as long as you pay the bills
I’ve 3x 400w going if they was tracking my electricity use I know about it years ago especially when I used to use 1000w halides /hps lights ( 1000w isnt not a typo 😉 )
