it will finish quickly, not much bud developement will happen though. as I am sure you know, the energy is stored for use during darkness.yep, tell i see any ill efects tats what it will be tell the end..
Not sure 12 hours of light will be enough enerygy stored
Be eagerto see result of your experiment.

Try 24/24 or somethin more equal or like he said above I think ur plants would be burnt out 24 hours into dark everynight then they would just stress.

i was thinking the same thing, so i was going to do 12/24 but then i would have to have a 2nd flowering light just for this one plant. thats why the 36 hours stretch, so i can put her back in the flowerroom when lights come back on...

I've had the same thought really, seeing the plant grow more after its 12 hours of dark.
What a friend of mine told me was to reduce the light by a further 15 mins every week, to further simulate the shifting seasons, this makes the plant grow faster as it is fooled to thinking the season is further in.
One thing he said though was that he found out that he ended up not giving it enough light, so personally I add 15 mins every 2 weeks. only on 11.45/12.15 atm though.
sound about right?

there's been a lot of debate about light cycles and their influence over the productivity and potency of the plants grown ..... I believe many of the oldtimers still hold true to the 18-6 vege and 12-12 flower. I played around with times in a couple of grows and only found it to be detrimental to time taken to finish and yield and potency were both off the non-fuked with schedules .... but a sample size of one or two is ... well a sample size of one or two .... my current grow was 18-6 and is 12-12 now ... Walking On !!!~~~~~~~
