has anyone tried dimming the power to emulate the fall of the year comeing on with lowering the wattage to the plants when they put they put them to flower.
something like running the 1K watt mh bulbs at 100% durring the veg time of 2 months at 18/6. then cutting down the time to 15/9 at 100% for 3 days then going to 12/12 for a week or so. then staying on the 12/12 running 100% for say 10hrs and dimming down to 75% for 2 hrs for several days. then runnign at 1K for 9hrs and dimming down to 75% for 2hrs and then dimming down to 50% for the last hr.
I thought this might get the flowering stage really movein along since it would help the plant to feel the fall of the year is comeing along ? just wondering if anyone has tried something like this or is it just blast em with the 1K the whole 12 hrs best?
just thinking of something else to use these dimmable ballests for ?
