Why I use 12/1 lighting

[Cloud]

I'm doing it in part to save money. Legal medical grow amd state just legalized rec last year. I mostly do it because I like how my plants grow using it.

Interesting topic, never heard 12/1 lighting before. I'm intrigued. Anyone care to say what a transition schedule would look like going from 18/6 to 12/1?

Week or 2

Start of week 3 flower so thought I would give an update. Decided to only use the veg part of 12/1 this round.. Moved the plants out to my shed early. Getting 80f during the day. Still a bit cold at night so have to run several heaters. Had to take off the scrog net and didn't put it back. Kinda pleased how it spread out the plant with no lst but I did tie a few branches down after the move. Budlets developed quite a bit in 10 days.

Looks great bro. Gas Lantern method is what it is called. I use it as well because my grow is solar and I can save my battery bank. Tight node spacing as well. In flower I reduce 30min every 2 weeks

Man this is so interesting.

This is not gas lantern. Look up 12/1 through link above. Gas lantern is for stopping flower. 12/1 is designed to save money on electric and keeps plants in a semi state of veg and flower for faster growth. When plant is switched to flower it transitions faster as well.

Thank you! @CochiseClassic now my work begins on a couple months research before my next attempt. Lighting for plants Is a passionate subject but I've barely beginning. Great info, Welcpme to the Forum! Looking forward to a lot of exchange with you !
SoOrbudgal, I believe this guy is a valuable addition to the forum family, hey? New blood with knowledge! Very Ineresting indeed!

Not here to argue bit it is GLR gas lantern routine. Look up Reinhard Delp. Nothing new going on here. But it does look great.

Day 41 flower and things are looking good. One skunk plant ran into a bad calcium deficiency but got it under control. For some reason forgot to Amend with oyster shell when I Flipped to flower. Other skunk started showing small signs but got it before any major damage. Gelato went from worst looking to the best with nice spear colas.
