Wait...what?
After much debate, I decided to give the grow a green light. There seems to be no solid evidence on the subject other then what we "think" we know. I recently came across an article that got me thinking. If a photo period plant needs 10-12 hours of continued darkness to flower....what about the light period? Will a photoperiod plant continue to flower with an extended light period while the plant still receives 12 hours of darkness. So....step back and forget everything you have learned about day and night. This goes out the window with this grow.
This grow will be started from seed to harvest. 2 plants...different strains. Nothing will change with watering and feeding schedules. The only thing I will change....is light times. I am going to order a 7 day timer from Amazon to assist with the lighting schedule and I will reset it once a week as I will have to so I can continue the current light schedule.
My plans....to start off, I am going to run my light 24 hours a day for the first few weeks. I then will start adding my dark period around week 3 or 4. ( 24/2 example ).
When I am ready to start flowering, I will then flip to 12/12 lighting for the first 2 weeks. Once pre-flower has ended and true flowers are starting to show....into 24/12 I go.
