theres no free ride...just a lot of mis information...yeehaw..switching on and off your lights excessively will shorten bulb and ballast life too
this guy Joseph Pietri and his followers swear by it...

Joe Pietri 12-1 advance growing... a closed group on facebook... from Oregon and has his own seed company Gold Crown seeds...He and all his followers swear by these light schedules.
Edit: to me it"s so hard for me to believe...and I've in the game since the OG days.

i would do that with males in a tent set to catch pollen for sure.
never considered much less than 11 on even to help long flowering land race girls to finish.
very interesting.
certainly wouldn't use a hid in 'vegetable' stage with all the extra on/off's. that would be to hard on a ballast and bulb to be worth it.
i wonder if most strains respond well to this, or will some, or maybe even most strains, hermi or have piss poor bud structure with low yield and quality as a result.

Sure with an autoflower strain it will work. I've tried all types of light cycles. One day on one day off, etc. You know what does work well?

That "vegetable" cycle is good for flowering.
Except the other way around of course; 12 hours off, 5.5 hours on, 1 hour off, 5.5 hours on.
The one hour off is the rubisco break against midday depression.
Extra advantages are your plants won't burn as fast and are less likely to get toprot or other diseases and you get more females.

i have played around with the 12/1 method for some time.. it works well..
just as good maybe even.. but i have modified it.. i run flip flops for 2 rooms and when i veg a room i would either just leave T5 on 24hrs or have one hps on a timer for the time when the light is on in the other room... to interupt the dark period so they dont flower, a flash of light for 10 min would be sufficiant.. so if you want to safe elect. 12/1 is perfect.. i have found the internod spacing to be just right if i leave a bit of light on... very healthy growth and seed plants show sex very quickly

not that i can say... i had some once but that was cause of a light leak and not the 1hr interuption

From my understanding your drawing the most current and power during the ballast firing, and start up. So shutting down and powering back up multiple times a day you'd think would run your bill even higher. Not to mention the wear and tear on your ballast and bulbs.

If read about this on another site and I thought how interesting. I'm toally into new ways, cheaper production costs and high yields!!!
What lighting was used on those plants in photos?
