Ttrichomeanswered grow question 4 years ago
For growing autos I've had best success at 20 hours of light. 16 hours indoors doesnt even really meet indoor photoperiod veg standards. I found plants under 20 hour light cycles finished a touch faster with notable increase to yield. Plants on 24 light never got better than the 20 hour plants but suffered ailments at a higher frequency. They need lights off hours. I'd say ur best bet is change to 20 hours

16 is odd, we usually use 18/20 or 24... That is all

Could anybody please suggest which LED light they would recommend for a 4x4 grow.
Willing to spend around £500 maximum as I really want to invest however most videos on YouTube are marketing their own. Really appreciate your advice.
Many thanks!

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,
