SuperCycle is uncharted territory, full of possibilities to explore.

WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT WILL HAPPEN
AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT EXCITING,
THE CHALLENGE OF
DISCOVERING IT TOGETHER
The best way to collaborate
IS BY GROWING A SUPERCYCLE!
Try a cycle and report your results, you could be the first to find the best one.

Battle to discover the best light cycle ever created! 🌱🔥
To guide you, we've compiled a list of key questions to answer.
Could a SuperCycle 14/14, 16/13, 20/14, etc., be more efficient than 12/12?
Does the balance between light and dark hours affect the accumulation of cannabinoids and terpenes?
What impact does a longer cycle (e.g., 16/16) have on the total flowering time?
Does a cycle with more hours of darkness allow plants to accumulate more resources in storage tissues?
Could a longer cycle enhance trichome production due to a slower metabolism?
What genetic adaptations could result from prolonged use of SuperCycles over multiple generations?
Do SuperCycles affect flower structure?
How long do flowering hormonal signals remain active in meristems after a dark period?
Does light duration influence the sensitivity of phytochromes to flowering signals?
How long does it take for phytochrome to "re-sensitize" after an extended dark period in long cycles?
Could SuperCycles alter plant metabolism by shifting their natural circadian rhythms?
How does the balance between extended light and darkness affect the accumulation of secondary metabolites (e.g., alkaloids, flavonoids)?
Are there measurable differences in chloroplast activity during prolonged cycles?
Could the SuperCycle be applied to vegetable crops like tomatoes, lettuce, or peppers?
How would neutral-day plants (like corn) respond to longer or shorter light-dark cycles?
How would a SuperCycle impact the density and quality of fruits or vegetables produced in hydroponic systems?
How viable would it be to implement SuperCycles in large-scale commercial greenhouses?
Could SuperCycles be a solution for regions with extreme climates where access to natural light is limited?
Could longer cycles (e.g., 14/14) with low PPFD yield results equivalent to 12/12 cycles with high PPFD?
Is there a minimum PPFD threshold for SuperCycles to be effective in plant development?
What happens if high PPFD is maintained with long cycles? Could this induce stress or photoinhibition?
How does spectrum quality (e.g., red vs. blue light) affect SuperCycle performance?
