gas lantern is a fancy term for 'flower'. hence the branching and stretching. go for it. reinvent the wheel. it's good to feel like you've accomplished something...

24 and 12. end of story. cut hours to save money on power bills. it REALLY is that simple.

my results . 18 vs 24. 18 hour bigger roots. 24 bigger plants . smaller roots . 18 plant supported It self . 24 the plant did not. I had to use bamboo poles. this side by side was done during 95 f temps. in cooler 80f and under I noticed the 24 grew very slightly faster same roots as 18. best way to veg is . 6 on metal halide . then it turns off then a t5 turns on . for 6 hours then repeat it self ever 6 hours . mh to t5. benefits are . saves a shit load of electric the plants tend to grow just as fast as 24/7 with the mh bulb .

Yeah seems spot on n n if you live in the uk 6 or 5 hours saved each week at 5 is 35h per week were I use 6pence a hour is a few quid .i ain't got a calculator but for you boys burnin 1000w fukas ( if ya paying it all adds up).K as far as roots go I think the root ball is so important .im using 10l air pots now as some clued up friends have told me it's a must,I'll tell ya at harvest? There no problem cos they come flat n you bung two big blue screw things Done! A child could do it easy,! Respect Smudge
