over op 18/6 ??
FlyHighhhstarted grow question 6y ago
Quick question. My plants are now 3 weeks old and I'm still keeping them under 24 hours of light. Is it better if I switch to 18/6 now? I have feminized seeds of Green Gelato.

You can do both. There are several debates for that. Truth is that the plants grow with light, so you can keep 24h, unless you see cupping or any form of heat stress ( 24 is a bit risky but worth trying.) If that happens, you need to go with 18/6. The most safe way in my experience.

Your green gelatos will love the 24 hour light until flowering if you so choose. Some current research fights this age old myth of roots needing the dark. Atleast cannabis grows shorter node distances and more robust in 24 hr vs 18 hr. Seedlings and clones seem to do better in 18/6. Debate is ongoing.

Plantulas deben estar bajo luz?I have a 240 watt 3500k quantum board LED. Does anyone know how long it's recommended to give them light with it? It has a dimmer, but I don't know if they need light in the seedling stage. This is my first time starting a grow with LED. Before, I would just put them in the sun for a few hours and that was it..Setup. Lighting
