Interesting. I can't wait to watch this pan out
I support your choices, WelshPony
My experience is that veg under 16/8 followed by flower under 11/13 is much danker. Flowering times are also faster under 11/13.
The next couple of harvests will tell me if it also means less quantity of herb, but since I switched to 16/8 & 11/13 the quality is superb.

Radagast, could you hypothetically get more herb over the long run since you are shortening the total grow time? Perpetually?
I can't give an authoritative answer. I suck at early veg so my timing is all over the place. I have similar sized plants from November and February right now.
I have yet to assemble all the times in one place:
a typical time under 12/12 light was 77 days,
a typical time under 11/13 light was 68 days.
My only two harvests under 10.5/13.5 are:
58 days (new strain) and
46 days (previously 59 and 58 for this strain)
I'm willing to say I have shorter flowering times, but I can't say whether I had longer veg times before the shorter flowering times.
If the size or your flowering room is the limitation on your perpetual grow, then your harvests would be overall more frequent. Would one harvest more grams per day? I don't know.
I can't speculate on total yield because I run multiple strains and let individual plants chose when to move to the next stage of life. My job is to make a comfy space, light, soil and water available to them. Their job is to grow. Then my job is to harvest and offer the same comfy space, light, soil, and water to the next plants.

Thanks Radogast. I can understand your situation with having different strains and different variables. I suppose if one were only growing one or two strains, they could benefit from the shorter flowering times. This plant and the different ways to grow it are so fascinating to me.

After almost 48 hours of me being away, the girls had some peace and quiet to do their thing with out my watching them and they didn't disappoint 
Starting with the White Widow
She seems a little top heavy had the fan going hoping to strengthen her stem a bit but not to worried though will be transplanting to the big pot in a little while.
Next up is the EC
I cant wait to try this strain tbf, I dont know much about it I know its not going to be the real EC but lets wait and see.
And finally is my diesel auto, it looks more sativa then the WW and EC both of them deffo look indica. What you lot think?
So thats my little update, all the girls are looking healthy seem to have liked the early nutes they've had, im a happy easter bunny

Another 48 hours at work, god i hate these shifts some times.... Lucky I love my job though
All gone a bit quiet in here! Gonna get some more pics up tomorrow, had a look at the roots where I could on the plants and on the WW they are growing out of the bottom in to the big pots they are sat on so will probably repot them in to the big ones. It may be a bit early but the roots have exploded to be fair and I dont want to mess around with to many transplants so straight in to the big ones
Hope you all had a good easter weekend

Ok, well don't get attitude if I raid your fridge without asking, brother. And don't try hiding the extra beers in the drawer, because I'll look there too!

Update for anyone visiting, first things first though has everyone got a beer before I show you around the garden? Yea? Good lets go
Ive transplanted in to final homes and started some LST may as well shock them with both at the same time isnt it... Being in such large pots all ready ive come up with a way of watering that should help root growth, today the had 2 liters water each around the same space as the orignal pots so where their roots are, the next watering in going to water a bit further out to get the roots to stretch out and find the water, then the next one after that ill do around the plant, anyone think this will or wont work? Let me know what you think.
Anyway pictures first up we have WW
Ive given her a little bend
And now the EC same situation for her
Shes got a nice little bend there
And then theres the auto, ive decided to leave the auto and see what happens with it
And finally a group shot of all my fav girls, arent they sweet
Finally got round to rigging up the exhaust system properly to, it now vents out the door in to the room didnt have the time or energy when i bought the kit just left the door open a crack. Now with the door closed and venting the temps have gone up a bit, hovering around 28/29 a tad high I think but not really to bad.
Hope all your gardens are growing lush and green

I think you should water around the edges directly, rather than gradually leading them there. Roots have moisture-detection cells that will encourage them to grow where the water is.

Been playing with my girls today, some 'gentle' LST which got my thinking about what im going to use for LST'ing last grow I had some metal pipe bits that were just about long enough for some form of LST, I thought so hard my brain started hurting was searching amazon and ebay for stuff nothing looked suitable.
I gave up with a headache, made a brew, sat on sofa thinking about the up coming summer and camping trips and festivals ill be going to (for anyone in the UK I recommend shambala and green man) then out of no where it hit me like the bus that hit jesus while singing I Will Survive! Camping was the answer I was looking for!! Ive got 3 tents and about 100 tent pegs!!!
So tent pegs are currently being sterilised ready to be re purposed to plant holder downerers instead of tent holder in placers!
Im a happy pony now
