Do not switch back your lights to anything more than 12 hours or your photo period plants will respect that photo period and go back to vegging stage.
Keep on the great care!
Happy smokes!

Shifting outdoor plants from outdoor to indoorSo I was wondering if outdoor plants(week 2) getting regular sunlight (~12-13 hours) can be shifted indoors for faster growing (18/6 or 24/0 or 20/4)?
Anyone tried before? it is safe? Will it cause to make them hermaphrodite?Week 1

How much light for a stunned seedling?If my seedling is stunned, how much light in watts should I give to her? Does it make sense to give minimum light to help recover after over-feeding? (in my case 11w all spectrum bulb).
I mean to help her to focus on recovery, not on reserving energyPlant. Too short

Got a Mars Hydro TS600, will it do alright?My plan is to grow only 1 plant, in a 40x40x120 tent. I know the tent is pretty small but hopefully i can do some training on the plant to grow wide
Will the light do until the end? 100wats, but no light dim possibility. Currently growing seedling at 13 dli at 60 cmSetup. Lighting

Can rotating my 12 hour cycle back a few hours over the course of 3 nights harm my plant mid flower?If i were to manually flip my lights on and off an hour early for 3 nights to adjust my 12/12 from 9am-9pm to 6am-6pm would it be detrimental to the plants? They are in the 5th week of flower. Rotating back 1 hour each nightSetup. Lighting

Just ordered a 150W Quantum Board, can I swap my Blurple UFO mid grow to the new board? Is it possible to increase flower size this late into a grow?My Blurple apparently uses 230W actual draw but is advertised as 600W. If that 230W value is correct, does that suggest my new, much more expensive QB is not as good? Will it make a difference to the plants health? What are the benefits from the QB? Thanks!6y ago
