My Lighting Style Is To Gradually Lower My Lighting Time By 2 Hours Each Week Until I Reach The 12 Hour light Schedule. I've Used This Schedule Very Successfully To Control Stretch. I'm Using This Light Schedule Cause A Couple Of Trusted Friends That Grow Are Having Awesome Success Using It.
Welcome Brother Buba Blend I'm Glad My Thread Has Inspired You To At least Test The Waters Of Led Growing
starting at 24?
No I start Counting Veg At 18/6. I Also Have What I Call 2 Weeks Of Preveg 1st Week 24/0 2nd Week 20/4. So In All honesty I Have Between 6 To 8 Weeks Of Actual Veg Time. What Can I Say I'm A Vegger from Way Back
Welcome Brother blueylol That's Not 1 But 4 Plants
The 11.5/12.5 Seems To Produce Bigger Buds Earlier. This Supports Brother @GroErr Claims Of A Earlier Finish. So I Await With Baited Breath For My Finishing Time Before I Make My Finial Comments. However I Will Inform Ya That The 11.5/12.5 Will Stretch 1 1/2 To 2 Times As Much As The 12/12 Light Schedule So Adjust Your Veg Time Accordingly
Looking good in there. Are you running initiators on either end of the cycle? The finish times dropped for me by about a week when I switched but I'm also running the 660nm at the beginning and 730nm at the end of the light cycle. Have yet to circle back and do a couple of runs without the initiators to see the difference, if any.The 11.5/12.5 Seems To Produce Bigger Buds Earlier.

No I Turn Off The Initiator When I Experience The Massive Stretch With The 5x5
Yeah I think both (11.5/12.5 & initiators) contribute to stretch. You could turn initiators off through the stretch but not sure how that would affect finish times. I'm typically running multiple cycles scattered at different times so I can't really try that.No I Turn Off The Initiator When I Experience The Massive Stretch With The 5x5
