Another question about my light schedule. For now it's on 24h. I plan to change it to 18/6 but I wonder when should I do this exactly. Around day 15? Thanks

Hey eliott, So ive always been a bit on the fence with 24 hour light schedules. Personally i think all living things benefit from rest or sleep, and some of my younger plants did the most noticeable growth during lights out. Plus it will help keep the heat down slightly. I'd bring the light hours down to at least 20/4, or to the 18/6 now. Happy growing. ✌️

If you intend to run them at 18/6, i'd do it now. Plants will form a rhythm, like you... keep it as consistent as possible and they generally are happier. Not something to lose sleep over if it gets interrupted occasionally in vege. like a timer going out one morning etc. or, oy need to keep light on longer as you work on something in vege area etc etc..

I'd do it now as in my opinion 24 hrs with no rest just is alot for a little plant. 18/6 is so much nicer on them I say do it asap!! Happy growing!

Hi there! Some studies say the lights 24hts on the whole veg should provide bigger and sturdier plants but most growers say that its just not worth it tho. You can change the lights whenever you feel like it and there should be no problems whats so ever 👌
