hey fellas,

as title asks... any experiments on that ?

i'd do one myself if i could but i really am can not.

The gas light routine...is not popular with many due to the high herming that may exist...with some strains, developed by a guy whose very famous for another thing but can't remember his name ....and I should

wait a sec,
so what you're saying is that this method (called gas light routine?) causes plants to go on hermis ?
i've just read a post that says that this method would triple your harvest.

what is that other thing he's famous for btw ?

I have been using this light schedule for about two years now in my veg room. I have not seen a decline or slow in the growth of the plants. I even clone in the same room. Wish I had pictures to post so I can show you what I mean. I also observed that when using this particular light schedule, my stretch has reduced. Since I'm scrogging now this has given me a problem. I have to fill the screen up almost 90% to get a ful 2x3 screen.

What I like about it is that I can use less power in my veg room and get th same results as someone using 24/0, 18/6, or whatever, my plants have never looked like they need more light and have never hermied on me.


Triple harvest? Hell no, but it sure saves power

alright cool thnx

edit
what about - this method is accelerating the growth pace times three ?
i think i got confused between that and triples the harvest.

gas lantern routine i believe.

i am currently trying out a 12.5 on / 11.5 off flowering cycle. also though i am also giving a 4200 k mh from start to finish test on the same tent as well.

they seem to be stretching longer at day 36 they seem to still be getting taller.

dont know if that helps but where i read about the gas lantern routine, i also read of the 12.5/11.5 flowering cycle.

continual stretch at day 36 but buds seem on par at least with a regular 12/12 hps routine.
