Good thought, that is the way nature does it. Too much is given to exactly 12/12, the sun doesn't just switch on and off. But I don't think you can veg and flower together. The dark periods need to be really dark, like 95% dark.

yes i AGREE in my first grow i used flouresttnt side lighting, always have it turn on 15-60mins be fore my mainlight turns on, that makes the light u c with your eyes be fore the sun comes up, plants grew great and have it stay on after inital light goes off 2 create the after noon period, besides i think i will be getting digital timers . and try 12/16 for bud maybe try 14/14 or 14/16 and c what that does why dont we just veg on 14/6 and then bud on 14/12?? this belongs in the catagorie on light manipulation:leaf: something about raising your lights 2 18/12 during the middle of your grow and then lowering then back in like a few weeks idk how thios works, im thinking about starting a journal on how much sun we get every day and date it so if dumb ass me started a journal at the begging of summer i could calculate the perfect summer by recording the hours of light from veg 2 bud,,,,o well maybe nexed summer

Why would it shock the hell out of it?
not like it knows the exact time and when it should be day and night right?
wouldnt it adapt to its surroundings and learn to manage with the lights on and off for a longer or shorter period?

why should any plant have to 'learn to manage' ? Indoor growing is a way of giving your girls the best of everything so as to reap the rewards.:wall:

hey man i wana know how this turns out sounds like a legit idea. that other guy said 10/14 to 14/10 is the time, makes sense 2 me,) but what i would like 2 ask is if u already put the lights on 12/12 where do u go from thier? raise the light higher? 12/12 and under watering triggers flowering right? so does that mean now that my rooms in full bloom i can start turning the light on longer? 14/12off? whats the magic budding scedule? hahaaha:clap:good thread people lets keep this going:leaf:

so the point is u need 2 get rid of the dumb plants that are hemie and get some chronic clone. all you want 2 do is build the budup and let it do its thing your growing the bud bigger so it needs full energy(from the sun/hid light.) does any one use 12/12 from start 2 finish.? shouldnt the light be lowerd and raised every now and then? would your light being 2 high cause your buds 2 stretch?
