Change light schedule mid-flower

Centerwookstarted grow question 5 years ago

Has anyone ever changed their light schedule mid-flower? I want to change from 6a-6p on/off to 8p-8a to avoid high daytime temps. I’ve heard you can do 24hrs dark and then change to whatever you want.

Yep just make it so the plant gets 13 hours of darkness each day as you adjust up to the 8pm on / 8am off schedule... They'll be alright and you won't jack with the flowering routine.

Can I use 18 on 6 off during flower when growing autoflowers and using ViparSpectra KS5000 LED at 100% power?I have a tent with a ViparSpectra KS5000 LED lights. If I am growing autoflowers and they are in the flower stage do I have to change the light/dark schedule from 18 on/6 off to 12 on/12 off or will it be ok to keep the lights on a 18/6 schedule since they are autoflowers?

12.0v LED strip effectiveness Will this mini led strip help my other weak light out? Or is it wasted energy. I’m still putting the plant in the sun as soon as it gets onto my balcony but while it’s really cloudy and in the evening this is all I’ve got.

OK to switch from 12/12 to 18/6 for auto in flower?Is it OK to switch an auto from 12/12 to 18/6 when in flower (2 weeks)? I moved the plants from the attic which was way too hot and tried the 12/12 schedule to reduce the heat. Now that they are in an AC spare room wondering if it would be worth switching. Appreciate the support!

Light distance and power with a 205W Sanlight LED Sanlight told me I should use it dimmed at 80% and 45cm when in flowering. I was aiming to reach lower buds so I put it at 100% and 50cm from the upper buds. The tips of the leaves are slightly burned but no bud bleaching yet like my last run (at 100% 45cm). What's best ? Thx !

Short plants in flowering Flowering started but the plants still seem a bit short. Maybe too much or too close light? Or something else? Tried avoiding light off because its hard controlling the rise of humidity.

LED lights for veg-Viparspectra xs1000 I have the viparspectra xs1000 light. I turned up to 50% intensity and plant is about 30cm from canopy. Is that right for early vegetation stage?It looks healthy to me but could be wrong. Was going to turn up to 75% later, then 100% for flower. Do I need to move closer the light?

LUX meter grow question Can someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them. My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light already

Can you use a 450 watt white led light to start seedlings? If so what distance should the light be and when should I make it closer? The reason I am asking this is because I don’t like transplanting autos as they are fragile to transplanting from what I’ve looked up
