I always suggest a 18/6 light schedule. It saves on power usage and also gives your girls time to recover from their hard day. Some people have no issues With 24 hr light phase but it's all a personal preference! Cheers and happy growing!

Veg lighting approach? Switching from cfl to hps?I started my second grow a couple weeks ago with a 130w cfl in my 1m veg cupboard. I’m thinking I will make the switch to a 250w hps soon. I don’t want to overheat the space. Do you think this is a good strategy? I’ll flower the autos in my 1.4m tent with 600w hps.
