I found that site on the assigned time but found nothing. I'll have to check again when I have time; I don't, at the moment.

realizing that the search engine on this forum is totally worthless (I can't even find my own postings) perhaps you can post something new on that site so that it reappears.

I'd really like to know what was expressed.

nope search the word "lantern" in 420 search box, it is similar to your method that you mentioned, i think red lantern

green lantern routine?

 

[Dusty Kiefers]

Never tryed 14/10 going to when I get enough smoke stocked up im thinking it will prolong flower with more natural light schedule

 

[CronicHempHog]

I'm still a 24 hour guy, but I'm seeing some benefits of darkness. thank you

 

[Farang]

I hope that summarizes the discussion I missed.

[Farang]

if you're keeping your dark period, then I agree, though I'd have loved to read the discussion on this point.

 

[trichomes]

I have yet to give a plant any darkness when vegging.

I am considering it in the near future, a little proof of reason will make me switch to the other (dark) side.

What are your proven thoughts on this subject?

I am vastly outnumbered in my 24 stance, old school I guess, thanks for jumping in Farang!

 

[Farang]

this discussion has been in other threads and on different forums, usually because people are complaining that their plants aren't growing fast enough while using 24/0; and the suggestion is to give the plants some dark time, on the order of 20/4 or the more common 18/6.

I'm not any sort of expert. I'm still in learning mode. I'd like to hear more arguments from both sides based on some sort of plant biology.

 

[trichomes]

I'm old school and I read all Ed Rosenthals books, he teaches Botany/Cannabis at a large University. He says that vegging should never be dark, plants/weeds, do not need rest, dark makes them stretch in search of the bright light they crave.

Give me your thoughts, thanks.

Let me see if I can find the article(don't get your hopes up) but from what I remember the point of the darkness was for the benefit of the roots.

[Farang]

those two posts are contradicting each other and I'm going to have to go back and re-read what I've stored on line yet again. I'm more than willing to change my light schedule, if I can find a consensus.

i believe simulating a proper summer is ideal, i start with the 24 when shes a baby. keep that cycle for 2-4 weeks, switch to 20-4 for another 2-4 weeks (depends on growth) then 18-6 untill flower. My plants seem to really produce pollen this way (white crystals) and a stiff deep root system. I believe the 24 makes the plant stronger and possibly increase the potency. I could be wrong but it works for me so i like it
