I typically run my flowering room ( only photoperiods ) on a 12/12 light cycle from 06:00 -18:00 but remembered that Hellraiser was running his at 13 /11. I would like to get the extra hour in to get more time in to work on the flowering plants before and after work say from 05:30 - 18:30
Is there anyone else on this forum running on 13 /11 ?

isn’t energy cheaper at night in your country?
I’m running 12/12 from 17.00 till 05.00 ON, plenty of time to tend the ladies after work…

Na same cost 24/7. I prefer running lights on during the day as it just works better for me, growing in two interleading rooms separated by a door, one for veg and other for flower. House traffic would be an issue during the dark cycle during the day because the washing machine is in the veg room lol. If I was growing in tents then it would work out well

I jad been running mine longer trying to be able to do chores before and after work. I thought about through the night but its better they sleep when I di lol. After reading and watching I’ve gone back to 12/12 I manage my chores in the am and try to get home in time but work days are a coming longer away. I turn a couple of my big fans off after dark then back in the morning. Sorry I got rambling

Haha me too. Get up at 5, then clamber through the flower room in pitch black darkness and quickly open the veg room door and close it behind me to sort the mothers, clones etc out. I have enough time to get it all done but another hour a day would free me up a bit more

Its amazing what we do.
I’m finishing up my 1st run of 13/11 on clones. Screwed up during the transplant so it set me back a couple of weeks. Chopping this eve. More clones rooting now. Thinking of trying 14/10

I run gas lantern (13/11) in veg @Hogbud . Been running it for 4 years. Cheaper on electric and I’ve noticed no noticeable drop in yields from my old 16/8 schedule.
The only weird thing is the plant on the right is a photo like the one one the left and I just switched to 12/12 on 3/15 and it decided to flower on its own 3 weeks ago when I was still 13/11.
