ok something that I've been thinking about trying indoors one day is to use an increasing and decreasing light schedule for vegging, for example I would like to try increasing the daylength by 15 or 30 minutes a day until 24/0 is reached, then decrease the daylength by 15 or 30 minutes a day until 12/12 is reached

I'd need a good idea of how many days of veg a plant will need to get to the desired size, perhaps if the veg was going to be 6 weeks total I could start @ 15/9 then veg 18 days increasing 30 minutes a day until 24/0 is reached, then decrease 30 mins a day for 18 days which will bring us back to 15/9 when most plants will start flowering, I would keep decreasing light 30 mins a day for another 6 days which would bring us to 12/12...

I might also try decreasing light by 15 mins a day in the last week or so of flowering

I was thinking of a light schedule for late flower. Last three weeks of flower you decrease the light by 1/2 hr each day. The last few the plant spends a few days in complete darkness. See according to some theories the plant should produce more resin as the darkness increases. Just a thought. Peace GS
