Salutations LegalCanada,
That’s why i linked to the source post but then i realize there were no other posts after that, so maybe i should do it here. Thanks for the opportunity!
This is a cultivation space segmented as 4 separate schedules synchonized in order to balance the overall electrical consumption. It won’t remove the steady “pedestal” resulting from this activity but at least the grower would no longer advertize what phase it’s in (veg vs flo), for example.
The 3 first cultivation spaces are on an hypothetical 12-4 schedule while each is time-shifted relatively to the other 2, in a way which creates a 4th continuous 12 hours slot which can be used to divert available electricity to that last cultivation space so there are no timing “holes” left anymore. Hence no externally visible transition events for all practical purposes - in theory…
Anyway that’s why the 4th row (in grey) below has it’s 12 h period under the 3 other “night” shifts, actually.
Maybe, just maybe (…), if a regular “photo” genetic can endure the Gas Lantern Routine then i’d be curious to see it put under some equivalent load-balancing scheme as well. But it might need to be combined with “AutoFems” anyway, or in complementary with some window-sill session, i wonder. Other members may manage to work it out, personally applying this to non “autos” is too much of a challenge for my swelling brain at this hour…
Good day, have fun!!
