    There are stories of growers using 6 hours lights on & 12 off, or 6/40mins on & 12 off. It makes the plants think more time has passed & more darkness makes them flower faster but yield is significantly lower. The theory is that you can fit in more crops a year so the smaller yield add up. Some people also start flowering on 12/12 & either go to 10/14 for s faster finish or 14/10 for longer flowering & a slight increase in yield. Stick to either 18/6 veg & 12/12 flower or 20/4 veg & 12/12 flower. There are studies proving that during the seedling stage roots develop better on a certain light regime & i think it may be 16/8, can't recall of the top of my head & it's too bloody early to get technical

    Peace B

    I have done GLR for the vegative stage and found it worked very well. Much less electricity and as good or better growth.
