I posted this in advanced growing, but was looking for more input. Ok, so here is the deal. I've done a few crops and know my lighting and stuff, but one of my friends does and has a pretty decent grow only flowering for 8 hours a day. He does this to keep his energy bill down, because he runs a 1000 watt. not that smart of a plan, but I was thinking. I have been running a 250 watt for 11 1/2 flower cycle, I want to start running a 400 watt on a 8 1/2 cycle so the utility cost would stay about the same. but I'd get more lumens... idk. any input? I normally wouldn't consider this, but after thinking about it, maybe this could work, if you took a plant from 16/8 to 8/16 wouldn't it automatically think it was deeper into fall, or deeper into flowering?
