@Tenga I’m not even flowering yet, and if I were to go to a 12/12, I would do it then. But honestly I’ve seen guys on here post about getting pounds of great bud with 18/6 or 20/4
I think it also really depends on the plants as well as the grower and what they’re doing to take care of the plant. It’s my own personal opinion, but from I’ve seen. The better they’re taken care of ( watching your ph, ppms, great light, nice aerated medium, etc.) The quicker they want to flower. But it’s all just what it is, right? We all learn more all the time.
Thats funny u said that bec I came to the same conclusion. Use 18-6 in early veg, maybe the first 3 weeks, then flip.
We’re talking about autos guys.

I have to admit…
That’s a cute blue color…

Way to picky and they do whatever the hell they want…
Just my opinion…

We put taser internals in one of these, i don’t knownif it still works but it was BA before it was left outside, 100,000 volts of constant power. The flies would explode lol.

The carnage!
The recessive trait is carried forever in a plant, even it’s not “expressed”.
The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is named after [Reginald C. Punnett], who devised the approach. The diagram is used by [biologists] to determine the [probability] of an offspring having a particular [genotype]. The Punnett square is a tabular summary of possible combinations of maternal [alleles] with paternal alleles.[[1]]These tables can be used to examine the genotypical outcome probabilities of the offspring of a single trait (allele), or when crossing multiple traits from the parents. The Punnett square is a visual representation of [Mendelian inheritance]. It is important to understand the terms “heterozygous”, “homozygous”, “double heterozygote” (or homozygote), “dominant allele” and “recessive allele” when using the Punnett square method. For multiple traits, using the “forked-line method” is typically much easier than the Punnett square. Phenotypes may be predicted with at least better-than-chance accuracy using a Punnett square, but the phenotype that may appear in the presence of a given genotype can in some instances be influenced by many other factors, as when [polygenic inheritance] and/or [epigenetics] are at work.
This is basic biology that I’m remembering from high school. Not even sure if they teach this anymore. Basically even though dominant genes are supposed to be expressed, there will be a recessive gene that EVENTUALLY will/can be expressed. This is how you end up with both parents that have brown eyes (example) but BOTH carry the blue eyed trait. It may take a few “crosses” before the trait shows, but it can happen.
The punnet square only shows 1 out 4 possible cross outcomes. If you expand the punnet square beyond just 4, you end up with more recessive trait possibilities.

Yes ive used the punnet square. But doesn’t it show 4 outcomes, not 1?
Thats a punnet square of the 2 brown eyed parents, each carrying the blue gene but not expressong it.

Thanks you! That makes a lot of sense. So basically like @Tenga was saying, the genes are there, just not “active” or whatever you wanna say. Got it. Makes sense. It’s cool. I’m gonna stick yo my schedule. And if need be, I. can switch to 12/12. Not gonna really hurt a lot. Just might get my plants a little bigger cuz itll be in veg longer. Actually might work out well for my one stunted plant I’m playing with. Lol.

Yes it does show 4 outcomes, but as more and more of the parents reproduce there are more and more outcomes from the same parents.

When my kids were little we bred dwarf show rabbits so we had to learn about genetics.

That is an excellent way to learn those outcomes!
Rabbits reproduce every 30 days.

I remember how fascinating it was to see how many generations could go by and never show recessive, so just when u make up ur mind the rabbits must be BB and not Bb, youd get a litter and see recessive… Seriously! Im talking like 7 generations.
