running the same gas lamp program for the last 3 months with flower time being 10/14 it has amazed me how good it realey works the plants ars so much healthier looking with no sign of strss plus the harves time is down by a week so is my electric bills another plus useing this program you can cut back on the amount of nutes you use look forward to your next video
so if it does work out and they veg fine, what exactly are you trying to accomplish that makes it worth all the extra on/off cycling and wear on equipment?
@Aaronebtechno Well your question starts with the assumption that it causes *extra* wear and tear. First, lights are the only things cycled. Frankly, these 600watt bulbs have thousands of hours in them and I change them every year with only a few hundred hours. I am NEVER using this equipment until it's last leg. In fact the hippie in me feels bad that I can't give them to someone used. Second, there is 5.5 hours of down time, it simply *doesn't* hurt anything.
@Aaronebtechno As far as what I am accomplishing... Assuming what I have read is true, which I am not sure I buy yet, is that the plants are less stressed out and growth rates increase ~15%, and I save 5 hours of 1200watts/hr
will be watching to see how the light schedule works out for you, good luck. i hope you can still at some point go over a bit of the dimensions and how you ran the lines on the autopots
@trichedout popped in the room today and they seem to be doing better than normal, but it is REALLY early to claim something like that. we will see.....
