Well the way I plant seeds....my 3x3 should be clear in about 20-30 years.
24 Hours On, Followed by 12 hours dark....

The data is available.
I CANNOT do this. So all this noise is from m'bum.
I put a plant outside and wait for it to begin flowering. I regard that date and reference my location against this website.

Are the buds popping in Humbolt County? This chart says they got 13.5 hrs of daylight today.
What about cooler nights? Or, perhaps, cooler days? There must be some effective, subtle manipulations in play.
However,
A photo period plant is just that. If you want it to flower tomorrow, it needs sleep tonight.
Couple days without sleep ?
Your vegging bro.
Been there.

Has anyone read the link I posted where a professor is and has already done?

I read it, but I just have a feeling this method would be far more popular if it didn’t have issues that aren’t mentioned in that article. The article doesn’t really mention how many plants they tried this with, how many times they’ve grown with this method, or any actual solid numbers with dates or data, so it’s hard for me to take it as any type of serious study.
Actually @TheSadBadGrower that is what makes this hobby so cool. The experimenting of different methods and techniques as you go . And there is certainly room for those types of thoughts because it seems like over half of what we have to reference anything is nothing more than bro science. I like experimenting off the main stream myself but not TO FAR
. I do think it is best to really have something down tight before you start to vary from the proven methods.

Oh I agree 110%....but something like this can be a game changer. To actually shave time off flowering....( hypothetically if it were true ). I have a small like 2.5x2.5 box I used to use for veg and clones but I can get away with a full grow in there if needed. I may give it a go just to see. When I do, I'll start a journal because I sure as shit know many will say not possible if it actually is possible. We are learning new things in cannabis almost daily....Actually @TheSadBadGrower that is what makes this hobby so cool. The experimenting of different methods and techniques as you go .

You bet ya! I just finished a harvest with a new drying machine ( Herbs Now dryer ) that had the product curing in jars 50 hours after harvesting. This alone will have a lot of folks shaking there head saying WTF from traditional methods. It is growers such as yourself that discover new methods. Just have to be willing to fail is all.

Definitely journal it, log as much data as possible, and take lots of pictures if you do try it. One of the reasons I have a hard time believe that article is because it is over 3 years old, was published in a weed magazine, and you would think it would be a popular method by now if it worked well.

Yea I want to make sure I have decent genetics but not too good just in case it goes south. Nothing better then junking a 25 dollar seed lol. I am doing a little more reading now to see about dark cycles in veg. Noting if I run 24/0 or like 24/2 or something. I gotta order a 7 day timer too.

Or an untested method that got kicked under the rug. I get what you are saying though.

he's onto something with this. I have five plants outside. the ones skirting my yard, and shaded from the fucking street light on the side of the apartments behind my house have been flowering for two weeks, at least. the one that gets hit by that goddamn bright MH light hasn't even started throwing pistils yet. And she's a 10wk+ strain. Probably gonna lose a good weight because of it. Fuckin knobs over there with their damn light.
I ran a plunt under 10/10 and fully belive you can utilize a longer daylight period to increase the yield of an individual plant. However the dark period should be equal or nearly equal imo. Photo initiators can sway your balance too. The yield of the plant may increase but will the cost per gram change? (I don't believe so)
You can do any combo of time with right digitial recycle timer, I used an arduino. The 20 hour day was psycological nightmare, tracking it required a seperate calendar, I was constantly opening during dark. No nanners, more compact bud anecdtodal evidence seems to indicate larger buds are possible with this method.

It's interesting to me too. The problem (I'm guessing) with that 24 hour daylight period is that it is bucking against a true solar day that has been in existence billions of years. I don't see how you would get the plants to change their stripes to accommodate that new light schedule. Evolution can take a minute..

What he said! ^^^^^Thats a good way to produce hermies lol
Theres established light times for a reason thats my 2 cents
