24 hour lighting?

jesus fucking christ if u dont know who al b fuct or heath robinson r u should not be giving any advice.

Where do they have a thread papercliped? Or what book have they written? How to videos maybe? lol

Like I said, you beleive who you want to beleive. I've learned a lot from those with paperclipped threads and who have written books, and others who just know what they're talking about, usually with high ratings. Not to mention published scientific studies on several matters. So don't go around trying to put people down because they haven't heard of these two guys. Do you know Cervante?

You can't even tell when someone's giving advice, so your advice is automatically suspect as far as I'm concerned.

go search them, they both have multiple threads in the advanced section. just search there user names here or u can google them. read page 2 of ur own link.

First off I think you should take your own advice and make your own thread if you want to argue instead of fucking up this poor guys thread.

Secondly, that's not my link, that's Uncle Bob's link. And I'm reading page 2, what am I supposed to be looking for?

Thirdly, I'm not about to stalk these 2 guys on your say so. If they're as good as you say, I'm sure I'll bump into them.

Now stop mucking up this guys thread, unless you actually have something to contribute.

ur exactly what is wrong with this site. and what exactly have those scientific papers said about 24/7 lighting. i bet u a little more scientific than this jewel

A very important part of photosynthesis is a rest period. Think of how sluggish, and from there quite unhealthy, we get when we don't have enough sleep. Just like us, plants need a rest period to recharge... to put it quite simply. I don't remember the botanical terms for this, but if we think of what we need to thrive (air to breathe, nutrients, sunlight, rest, etc.), common sense would dictate that any living being also needs these things.

just think how stupid that is and no real documentation or terms. number one photosynthesis does not need a dark rest period for the marijuana plant. look it up. number 2 he does not remember the botanical term because this does not relate to the marijuana plant

OR THIS SCIENTIFIC GEM

With what consequences. Plants need a rest and during darkness alot of root growth occurs. There are (natural and genetically scripted/fingerprinted) processes that can only occur during the dark cycle. I use a 20/4 because it is a compromise between 18/6 and 24/0. Look at the growth in this garden as an example. Any faster than this and it gets ridiculous. From popping a seed to flowering it is anywhere from 3 - 4 weeks for me resulting in large bushy plants.

there r natural and genetically scripted/fingerprinted processes. what r they.

GO DO SOME REAL RESEARCH.

I'm what's wrong with this site? You pull a study out of your ass and then you seem to argue with it even though you're agreeing with it "photosynthesis does need a rest period"? The winky emoticon should have been your first clue that it's not a published scientific study.

That second "study" agrees with the 20/4 light period that Uncle Ben recommends, so who is it that your disagreeing with exactly.

And a published scientific study has the authors name and name of his institute. Plus it lists any and all info that he references from other studies by listing those studies at the bottom. Those are not scientific studies, more like someone's observations. Learn the difference before you start quoting them as scientific studies.

It's obvious that I didn't do the scientific reseach before I started or I woulnd't be stuck on a 24/0 schedule right now (only 2.5 weeks till flower). The published studies I did research on are UVB & polyploidys. The light, I just took advice from someone like you who just likes to hear themselves talk. It was a newbie mistake that I wont make again.

And while we're at it, botonists and horticulturists (not to mention many respected growers here) have told me that when treating for spider mites you should change your methods/pesticides every time you treat becaue spider mites will become immune to anything quiet quickly. So stop telling people that a pest strip is the answer to their prayers and you don't have to use anything else with it. Or do you know more than horticulturists & botonists? (not to mention everyone else) - from a different thread where he was giving bad advice

BTW, is this Luda from the other site? Did you get kicked off the site for giving bad advice or something, and decided to follow me here? I only ask because he's not real good with the english language either. Trying to decipher what you meant in that last post gave me a head ache.

Anyway, to the author of this tread, I'm sorry about this. It's obvious that the only way you're gonna get your thread back is if I leave. This guy just isn't going to stop. Sorry for stepping on your thread, I did come here hoping to help.

And I really wouldn't recommend taking any of this guys advice. He seems more interested in being right than he does in helping.

i think u just proved my point. that made zero sense. anyone interested just do a little SCIENTIFIC research.

they argue all over the internet on this question. do not want to start one here but from the research i have done 24/7 is the best. marijuana is a type of plant that either does not need rest or rests when it needs it even with the lights on. i can not remember the exact details. people report different results from the tests they say they do. but the science says 24/7 is the best for marijuana.

however, 24/7 may be best if you want fast growth, it also states in the bible that 18 hours of light, and 6 hours of darkness can be a factor in promoting female development. not sure what the proof is or anything, just something to think about

heard that to. now ur opening up a whole new can of worms. i do not think so. heard very accomplished growers on both sides but mainly on the side of it not affecting. i think a lot of breeders have info about that on their sites.

personally I'm kinda hit and miss with veg..I try to unplug the lights for a few hours hour every night, but everynow and then i forgot. not with flowering though, on at nine off at nine lol. I actually need to have a male grow because i have yet have seen one! havent had a lot of grows, but out of the few no males..

my main issue was power. i did a lot of research, and i will try 20-4 or a 18-6 one day, but all the science said 24/7 was fastest. I didn't want to chance slow growth. Some people said there was a small difference some a big difference and some said no difference. but it bugged the shit out of me to hear people compare people to plants and make their conclusions that way. u do not have to be a scientist to grow pot but there is a science to what we do.

wow, no males what luck. u do not want to see a male. very depressing.

thnks i learned alot from these posts i love this site ??
