OimRauschanswered grow question 5y ago

Hey Rich, Did you had a look at the recommendations from the Breeder? Personally I'm not a big fan of 24/0, because I do think your damsel needs some time to rest. Also you should increase the temp in the box at least to 18°C during nights. And if you want to do something good to her, keep your RH around 70%. She'll love it. Keep the soil moist not wet. Best of luck. Cheerz, OimRausch

Light timer Problem Hey Growers. So I made a dumbass mistakes…..for the last 18 days I have had my light timer set for 12 hrs 15 mins on and 11 hrs 45 off. They are looking good and budding up. I’m wondering is that close enough to 12/12 to have my day 1 flower be true for accuracy sake. Thanks

Setting up air cooled refactor.I've got a new air cooled light refractor, a tube like one. I've set it up such as the pic, I'm thinking of putting the extractor where it shows on the pic with the air flow going the way of the arrow, would this be OK? I can't find anything online about setting this one up.

How to manage grow light height with plants of different sizes?My grow light is suspended (offset from plants) about 10” from the canapy of my two LST’ed plants but only about 6” from my control plant (no LST). Everyone seems happy, and I am not noticing any burns or lack of growth (unless too close can stunt?). Should I rethink the setup?

Back To 24 Hour Light - Auto Flowers My autos switched from 24 hour light to 16 about 2 weeks ago to see if it would help make them bloom faster. Can I turn them back onto 24 hours or could that mess things up? I would like the most amount of light time. They should have 2 more weeks left

T5 vs. LED for veg?So I have a T5 light, and I’ve used it to veg quite a bit, and it does really well. My question is, should I use the T5 in just the seedling phase, then use LED for veg and flower? Or will the T5 give me good results throughout the veg cycle?
