24h light to 18/6?
MrTasuristarted grow question 4y ago
Hello. I've been using 24h light while vegging so far. Can I change my light cycle to 18/6 without making plants to flower? Thank you in advance.

Yeah you should be fine. Its when you get down to 12/12 when they will flower. 👍

If your plants are photoperiods, you need to switch to 12/12 light schedule to get it to flower, so switching to 18/6 is fine for veg.

Sure can with no problems to worry about. The 18-6 schedule is what I use for veg along with most other people as well. Also FYI it's important that you allow your plants to sleep at least 4 hours. I say this because with every living thing requires some kind of rest and time to build necessary energy. Sure you can do 24 but IMO I find that I end up with a stronger and healthier plant when using 18-6. Hope this helps and good luck on your grow.
!! CHEERS!!!

Led on 18/6 grow/flower photoperiodI have the idea to put a led in my second tent for pre growing photoperiod girls, I have some room left over for some autoflowers who also grow & flower on 18/6 light - leds can switch between grow/flower.
If I switch the led to flower will that be OK for my photoperiod girls?Setup. Lighting

Seeds in 12/12Does keeping seedlings just the first week under a 12/12 light cycle can hurt them? I have some seeds that are not sprouting after 7 days, maybe it's because the outside temperature is too low so I decided to keep them in my growbox with my other flowering plants until they startSetup.

Lights for heat- 24/7 okay?I really need the heat of the lights to keep the inside of my tent warm. To warm the air around the tent 24/7 would be expensive- much more expensive than using the lights all the time. But will this work with 24 hour lights? Will that stress the plants?

Light set up.My only question i have is about my light set up. My plants are 7 days today and i noticed that my plants are all facing towards the light. I have my light at 60cm from the top of the plants and 75% on the dimmer. The light is also 1000 Watts. The tent size is 4x4.

LED Light SpacingSo my taller plants are starting to get bright green on top. My light is 25” from the tops. I measured today, and if I keep the lights that far away during flowering, I hardly have any space to grow them taller. It’s a 6’8” tent. The bloom light also isn’t on yet. What do I do?

Is it worth adding a LED 18w 2700k strip light for last few weeks of flower?Should I add this light for the last few weeks of flower? I have a Streetlight 18w LED strip see pics. I was thinking that if I added this strip designed for flower to my tent like a side light it may help my Viparspectra V300 in fattening those buds a little. Thoughts?

Light is about 30% Power, about 30 inches away. I previously had it about 26 inches and raised when I noticed this issue about 24 hrs ago. Pics are updated.

Swapping lights during floweringDo you guys think that swapping lights at the late flowering stage is going to harm my girls in any way? Been fortunate enough to be able to order myself a Viparspectra xs4000 to replace the v600. And as I understand it should be quite an upgrade.
Thanks for any advice!Week 7

Grow Light for 3x3 tentLooking for a good grow light for a 3x3 flower tent.
-Price is not an issue
-Low heat since I am venting into my living area.
-Even light distribution. I plan on doing a SCROG so having the same light intensity on the edges as the center would be best.Setup. Lighting

Light intensity for 2.5 week auto flowerCan anyone recommend how high and what percentage to run my light. The leaves have not been strongly perked up in a few days and I wonder if it's that the intensity of light is too high. I've been at 80% at around 14 inches. vipraspectra p600.
