hello,
i only have a 250w HID but 11/13 = (i think (?))
less yield, shorter flowering, *more phenotype expression
for indicas it is apparently not worth it from a yield perspective - (also northen india etc region (north of the equator) daylight length is different / more cultivated by man (?))
(less calyxs ("yield") = increased taste of "rope" if smoking floral clusters also here (vs. more yield, same potency on 12/12 i think (?))
for sativas though, i think they benefit from the extra hour of rest,
guessing because indoor environments like mine are so "poor" (vs equatiorial sun) they need more time to process things.
- like 12/12 i note wider leaves and and more robust stems (IIRC)
- but 11/13 - finer more elongated leaves (more natural looking for sativa, no ?)
SO:
genetics riddle - "why more sativa leaves - with less light ?!"
---------------
i have been doing 18/6 MH veg (i like to ""save" electricity" here although i read 20/4 is best for abundant vegetitive growth (?)) > 11/13 MH stretch (less stretch then HPS (?) > 11/13 HPS flower (more lumens / increased flower production (??)), then back to MH at the end (for terpenes *etc).
plants seem to much prefer MH for their own general growing purposes at least at wattages of 250 and under IMHE.
also UV (or as "violet" "blue" as you can get (hence using MH at the end of flowing) *psychoactivity
(**assuming that is why we are all trying to grow sativas right ?!)
hehe
