It's interesting to note that I usually see light burn on my plants after 6 weeks of flowering. The first six weeks they seem to prefer high levels of light, and then as things start winding down I have to raise and dim the light. It took me a few grows to see this pattern, but I think next time after about 5 weeks of flowering I will raise my light in preparation of the plant needing less.
This generation of LED technology is capable of giving plants all they need and more at very low wattages. I built this light to only pull 90 watts from the wall and it can absolutely hit the max amount of photons a plant needs on a 12 hour period in a 2x2 foot space.
@Animatey,
Cant wait to see how that goes, I've heard co2 is the next pinch point after light so I got into it. I'd rather not honestly, it's a pain to keep level up and you have to recirc your room or tent if it's big enough🤷♂️
@MaxGrowCanada, I have heard that can help, and it could def be part of it. Even at normal levels though I should be able to go higher on the lux so I'm not sure... I'm going to try to go back to 6 inch cubes this next run and see if that helps. Currently I am watering these 4 inch cubes an awful lot and I'm not sure if the root zone is happy...
Hey, plants look great👍
If those plants are autos I would raise the light schedule to 186.
I don't mean to intrude, but autos flower on their own, no matter how much light.
Some people run their lights 20 hours a day, but I like to give my plants a 6 hour rest, seems to work for me, I've gotten great results.
Hope this helps a little👊
Grow Big!!
@northernMike, hey bud, thanks for stopping by!
These are photoperiods that I switched to 12/12 after only a few weeks.
I usually only veg my plants 3 weeks because I put 1 plant per square foot.
Thanks for checking!
