The way I looked at it was even at the peak of summer, plants outside in the wild never have over 14 , maybe 15 hrs of light … So it seems to make sense to me… Also less kilowatts used, bonus!

i’m gong to break down and get a scope for checking my herbs bob, any suggestions before i jump into this?
my little stamp looker is not getting it done…lol
Ok @Lia, just some clarification… If you growing an auto flowering, it can benefit from between 14/10 to 12/12 schedule if you have some lack of “sugar” leaves or maturation if you like…
But if it’s a regular or feminized plant, you can put it on a regime of 10/14 to force the pistils and trichomes to mature faster…
That’s what I personnaly do…

That makes sense @Zombo and the 18/6 is what I was taught to use ? Maybe I’ll start my next grow and do one 10/14 and the other 18/6 to see if there’s a difference? Thanks @Niala

@Countryboyjvd1971… Yeah that’s a great thing to try… I’d be real curious to see if it made a difference! I know majictoker suggested it so I went with it… I’m just so new so I couldn’t tell if it’s making any difference… Gonna have to buy another tent and try some experimenting…lol

I’m going to try to remember lol @Zombo maybe you’ll need to remind me in a month or so
But I’m going to be doing gold leaf in both tents so it would be a good test grow
Ok I’ll will do it for sure now I want to finish my grow and start my next lol thanks zombo 
@Countryboyjvd1971… Sounds awesome… I’m starting with these 2 NL, the I have ILGM seeds… I have ak-47, white widow and just received my Girl Scout cookies extreme… I need to catch up… Most likely but more equipment… I’m real interested in your Gold leaf grow…, almost went for that 20
Seed special a while back
That’s when I jumped on them @Zombo lol
Like I said if I forget remind me but I’m really into this right now it’s got me thinking
Will do @Countryboyjvd1971… I will try to not forget to remind you… Let us know when you germinate the gl
That was great deal on those gold leaf seeds, you made a good buy bro… I didn’t go for it because I have one tent, not sure if the grow large… Think they are sativa… Didn’t want to have so many seeds of one strain that I couldn’t grow correctly… Not sure if they are good for beginners either… They may need master grower level like you and Bob…
Yeah @BIGE they do a nice job. I’m really happy with mine. I use it plugged into my Android and I purchased it specifically to work with my phone. There are a bunch on Amazon but if you tell me what you are going to plug it into I could easily find one that will work. You could also get a USB extension cable to connect it to a nearby pc, but I’m thinking 4 feet or so on that.

How’s bob today
I’m good brother. @Hogmaster no complaints! I’m watching an interesting program on DIY where a guy rehabs old out buildings into first class little rental rooms and usable workshops and such. Lots of little tips and tricks that you wouldn’t know unless you were in the business.
The shows called backyard goldmines. I find it interesting because im moving my grow to an an old building for at least three seasons so I’m getting some cool ideas.
