I'm amused and interested to read that everyone has lowered their photo periods for the purposes of growth. I did it just to save some cost on energy bills...and it worked. I saw a $40 drop in my bill, which I can't 100% attribute to my lowered MH use, but I do know they contributed.

I also read the thread on RC that a lot of you are referencing. I noticed towards the end, or whenever I stopped reading it, that a lot of people were returning to their old photo periods, or commenting that the growth bursts seem to be short lived. I understood it that people saw some great growth and colouration, and then again it would slow down, but in most cases was still faster growth then when they were running 10 or 12+ hours of lighting.
