Back To 24 Hour Light - Auto Flowers

ZombieGrowsstarted grow question 3 years ago

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

Personally I run 18/6 for autos from start to finish. I don't like 24hrs because the plant really needs time to rest. I'd put it to 18/6 until they are ready to harvest. Plant looks good man, happy growing.

20/4 at the very most. Plants DO need to sleep. 18/6 is probably optimum.

Why do you want the maximum light time? Give the plants the ability to rest. Dark periods are still good for autos. 18/6. Good luck

Lux Meter and Hydroponics Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.

Lights Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

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.

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, Mr.STM

Efficient lighting Keeping both 200w VEG and 300w FLOWER lights 24h is too expensive for my alien wallet. So I left the veg light under 12h/12h and flower on. Please share with me some of your past experiences and how can I save money and grow killer yields. 👋👽
