If you work 12 hours, why not leave the lights off while your at work so when you get home you can work on your plants...?

I experimented a lot with this. It kind of resembles a Bell curve. And it also is species dependent. With a pure indica, I found that 16/8 seems to work as well as 24/0. Reducing the light hours to 15/9 still kept in veg. To 14/10, this was unstable and the plants didn't like it. To 13/11, the plants went into flower but not as quickly as 12/12, it was a more gradual change.
You know, you don't have to have the lamps on in the day. I run mine mainly at night because it keeps the grow room warm.

you're saying 'longer' hours of lighting, promoted flowering sooner???? I find that improbable. Look into "what" makes the flowering process work. The 'flowering' hormone is produced during the dark period, and destroyed during light. The more that is detroyed in the light, the longer the entire process will take to initiate.

.. yea kas', it wasn't 'your' explanation that was "messed"... but "my" comprehension.... :confused2:however.... less thc is produced under a longer dar period. According to MJ Botany, studies reveal that nearlly twice as much thc is produced under 12 hours of light than under 10 hoours.
