Anyone running 10/14 light cycle?

I have done it before with some Blue Dream, seemed successful, this is the second grow with 10 on 14 off, just wonderin’ if anyone has any input as to speed, quality etc, oh i’m growing some Strawberry Amnesia in a box, scrog if it matters at all.

I start with 12/12 but end up close to 10on/14off by end of flower @yyz. I decrease my on time by 5 mins every other day starting around day 20. I do this to try and follow the natural fall light cycle. I think it speeds things up in getting my buds fatt and frosty! I’ve done straight 12/12 on my 1st 2 harvest in my current system. Now I’m on number 3 with the light decrease and I can say I like the results of running shorter on times, later in flower.
:v:

I stopped using traditional lighting times. I have permanently gone the Gas latern lighting technique.
Amazing speeds on growth, more yield, saves so much money! There is no way i have found thats better. IT WORKS!

Hey @PreyBird1, so you are using that exact lighting schedule. No modifications? I’m definitely interested in trying on my next grow. Maybe I should adjust my current flowering schedule. Would it stress it too much to switch to the 8 on 16 off?

I’ve read about this before and am very curious @PreyBird1. I’m going to try this with my upcoming flower run and see what happens. Thanks brother!

Not that i can tell i did it to like 40 plants all at once. But if there on a different light schedule they will flower for 2 weeks and then reveg to the light cycle. Always best to start the seedlings on this schedule and continue on.

During my peak runs i have 20 lights running, 1 turbo cloner, 10 fans, 3 ozone gens, and 1 heat mat. I like LED Quantum boards for the savings.

Hey just a sneak peak! New light build im working on.


These little lights are kicken ass.
I got 4 more before they sold out again. The price is killer and the light output is stellar! I have 3 more drivers. And more light builds coming! I will also have a trichrome booster light build. I have the parts in my garage. Soon when i have time.
