Gromie! It's relative really! 24hrs is the best for the best result for yield BUT raises costs on energy! 20/4 gives you again great yields more cost on energy! 18/6 is perfect for growth and saving energy, so I went and did 19/5 just to be on the inside of what's best! So what's best!? 19/5 if anything jump onto fastbuds website and they show the outcomes of the light schedules! I also did 24 hours but had my light at 8-10" at 25% in the first 2 weeks then upped to 50% at 12" for 2 weeks then upped to 75% for 2 weeks at 12" then for the remainder I turned up my light to 100% until the end! Which gave me full growth and saved money on energy
Technically you can run 24/0 but then you should compensate with slightly less strong lights. However, I've tried all 3 and found 18/6 the best and most cost efficient. Keeping the lights on longer won't really make the yield bigger but will rack up your electricity bill.
Sour_diesel94 BAD WEEK! need some help here guys..
Brown / rust spots started to appear on the tips and slowly started yellowing leaves.
Im following the master advanced nutrients chart and watering 2 times a week.
Last week feed was
20 litres R/O water
80ml bloom A
80ml bloom B
40ml of every additive on the chart
20ml cal meg
30ml phup
PH adjusted 6.50
After i started noticing the brown spots / leaves curlin up and stunted growth i skipped a feed and flushed with plain R/O water used 30 litres for 4 auto plants.
Yesterday i watered again but cut the nutes in half.
20 litres R/O water
40ml bloom A
40ml bloom B
20ml of every additive on the chart
20ml cal meg
20ml phup
PH adjusted 6.50
I still don't know what the problem is, if it is a excess of something or a deficiency..Looks like a cal meg deficiency but ive beed using cal meg since the beginning. Maybe i have excess nutes in the soil and resulted in nutrients lockout of cal meg or something else?
since i water twice weekly should i water with nutes always ? The master advanced nutrients chart still sometimes confuses me.
Please any help will be appreciated

Sour_diesel94 Well im still dealing with problems.
Finally bought a EC meter this week, flushed them all twice this week with plain RO ph 6.5 water. Measured the EC of the first runoff beaing 4.0 with over 2000 ppm. So what i figured out was i was given too much nutrients with high EC ( followed exactly the advanced nutrients chart ) the plants were stunted due high EC in the soil and calcum and magnesium were locked out. ( all deficiency look like calcum and magnesium deficiency ) i will start again nutrients with half dose recommended.

Sour_diesel94 Still having issues with nute lockout sometimes. Currently using advanced nutrients and growing in soil, so i decided to give nutrients every other watering
