Een tijdje geleden ben ik door Daniel Boughen een medicinaal kweker uit Amerika toegevoegd aan een groep op facebook.
Een groep waarin hij mensen informeert over een nieuw groeischema. Een schema waar je ontzettend veel stroomkosten mee bespaart en toch hetzelfde resultaat kan bereiken.
Aangezien ik hier er nog niemand over heb gehoord en de reacties over dit schema lyrisch zijn, wil ik dit toch graag met jullie delen en jullie meningen er overhoren.
Ik verwacht veel kritiek. Maar de vele reacties en kweekjes die ik met dit schema heb mogen volgen hebben mij overtuigd om dit schema ook eens te gaan proberen.
Deze meneer heeft een heel boek over dit schema geschreven:

Misschien toch een uitkomst om flink kosten te besparen of met hogere wattages te kweken, zonder dat het gaat opvallen op de stroomrekening...
Graag hoor ik jullie mening en mochten jullie facebook hebben! Zoek de groep even op en verdiep je er even in.
Het gaat om het volgende lichtschema:

Hier verder info omtrent dit schema:
Kilowatt hour comparison between Old- School growing and the 12-1 using identical lighting for both grows.
Oldschool 18/12 growing
Seedlings (18-6) 4 weeks
4 x 200w (42w) cfl’s (168w)
.168 x 18 = 3.024 kWh daily
3.024 x 30 = 90.72 kWh monthly
Vegetation (18-6) 4 weeks
(10 x 200w cfl’s) (42w)
.420 x 18 = 7.56 kWh daily
7.56 x 30 = 226.8 kWh monthly
Flowering (12-12) 8 weeks
1 x 400w High Pressure Sodium
.4 x 12 = 4.8 kWh daily
4.8 x 60 (2 months) = 288 kWh
Total Kilowatt Hours: 605.52
12-1 Army Growing
Seedlings (16-8) 4 weeks
4 x 200w (42w) cfl’s (168w)
.168 x 16 = 2.688 kWh daily
2.688 x 30 = 80.64 kWh monthly
Vegetation (12-1) 4 weeks
10 x 200w cfl’s (42w)
.420 x 13 = 5.46 kWh daily
5.46 x 30 = 163.8 kWh monthly
Flowering (10-14), 4 weeks
1 x 400w High Pressure Sodium
.4 x 10 = 4 kWh daily
4 x 30 = 120 kWh monthly
Finishing (9-15), 4 weeks
1 x 400w High Pressure Sodium
.4 x 9 = 3.6 kWh daily
3.6 x 30 = 108 kWh monthly
Total Kilowatt Hours: 472.44
133.08 Kilowatt Hours saved.
12 hour lighting for Cannabis is bad... mmmk?
Diminished lighting for Cannabis
Cannabis growers, this is important: We must properly identify twelve hours of lighting as intermediate lighting length and end its use for flowering Cannabis. Cannabis falls in to the category of Short-Day Plants, and is governed by the same flowering rules flowers such s the African Marigold, and Poinsettia, which are commercially grown in the industry, according to the guidelines set out for short-day plants. If you’ve already adopted Photoperiodic lighting, then you may not be getting the most out of your vegetation schedule if you still flower on twelve hours of light.
Short day plants must have a flowering period of less than eleven hours, or the plant remains partially in vegetation. Botanists have long since classified all plants including Cannabis according to their seasonal flowering behavior, and produced proven tables defining the length of seasons required for each genus to produce the optimum results. Their centuries of work archives results obtained from meticulously studying short day, long day and season neutral flowering plants.
As I have stated in my previously, plants that have been grown up using the 12-1 method or ‘Photoperiodic lighting’ have been kept on the edge of vegetation by interrupting the night period, and so have become very sensitive due to the delicate balance of floral hormones. This makes the plant vegetate vigorously and go into flower with the slightest provocation.
The one hour interruption in the middle of the twelve hour dark period has been neutralizing enough of the naturally building Phytochromes or ‘light sensitive hormones’ to keep the Cannabis plant from blooming and the longer dark periods stimulate intense vegetation. The well rested plant has plenty of stored nutrients and energy to finish its life cycle and flower.
Triggering the plants might be essentially just a matter of removing the interrupting light period, so the plants may now experience the full buildup of hormones that will trigger blooming on twelve hours of lighting, and so it has been for the last thirty years.
However, this is a fundamental mistake, and tends to negate all the accumulated benefits of a season of photoperiodic lighting as well as the breaking the well established rule for lighting short day flowering plants. The obvious good health of the plant shows that it is properly prepared to flower, but a dog-days schedule would waste those accumulated resources.
Being in a state of semi-flower/semi-vegetation under twelve hour lighting diverts energy throughout the plant in a confusing way. Recent evidence shows that twelve hour lighting is the cause of elongation of the branches and wider spacing of inter-node stems. Flowers and oils are under-produced, and vegetation continues, though at a decreased rate. The stored nutrients such as Nitrogen may not last long enough to sustain the flowering season, causing over or under-feeding complications. The finished weight of the medicine includes extra leaf produced by the semi vegetative state, which is naturally higher in carcinogens than the flowers, and requires extra labor to trim.
Using proper short-day lighting is essential to a properly grown and successful crop, and for Cannabis growers that means bypassing the twelve hour lighting of mid to late summer, and going straight to the full autumn bloom by dropping the hours in a single move to a mere ten hours of light. I will refer to this as ‘Diminished Lighting’ for the purpose of reference.
Strong flowering is induced within only a few days of switching to ‘Diminished Lighting’, and is very often finished a week sooner than the strain information. Eight week strains may be finished in seven, ten week strains in only eight or nine weeks and so on. ‘Diminished Lighting’ accelerates the flowering schedule considerably on all strains. Nutrients provided to the plants are used at a slower, steadier rate to more effectively produce oils, terpenes and medicinal compounds.
Bottom line: More higher potency medicine.
12 hour lighting is bad, mmmk?
So, if I may finally be direct, having sent some time beating around the burning bush? Twelve hour flowering for your Cannabis is harming your production, and making your plants underperform. It may have even given you a reputation as someone who can’t grow the easiest plant on earth, or it may just make your crops inconsistent; but you can change all that with a simple change to your light schedule.
Twelve hour lighting for flowering is as much an bogus farce as eighteen hour light was for vegetation, and was perpetrated by the exactly the same industry that packaged diluted molasses as bud booster and sold it for TEN TIMES the price.
I suggest you try ten hour lighting for flowering your Cannabis plants, and see what the results are for yourself. The entire ‘traditional stretch’ period is completely avoided, and your happy plants produce nothing but flowers instead of wasting energy and resources on stems and leaf. Once you prove this works to yourself, I promise you’ll never look at growing or the industry again the same way. Don’t take my word for it, when all you have to do is try it for yourself and discover the results.
Enjoy your crops!

Heel interessant, nieuw en eve wennen dit schema. Ben benieuwd wat jullie er van vinden!
