18-6 or 24H Of light
Growerxm00started grow question 4 years ago
Hello growers, I’m growing an auto and I have it under 18-6 h and she already started to flower, my question is if I can change it to 24 h of light and if there’s any benefits with that, cause I already read that night time will help them recover a bit from stress and I use scrog

This is a highly debated topic. Many growers have no issues running their plants under 24 hr lights. The more light for an autoflower the better. But from personal experience this can mean more effort in care on the plant to keep it growing optimal. I prefer to keep mine 18/6 as with any living thing it needs a rest period. I've grown some lovely autoflower like this and it will continue to be my recommended light schedule. 🤘😤

Best to give it time to rest. For the punishment it puts on lights and other equipment the gain is not worth it. I been using 20 on 4 off. So there is a cool down and rest time for plant and equipment. Hope that helps and happy growing mate. 🌲🌲🌲

The seedlings are getting so top heavy growing fast. The stem can no longer support all the weight of 2 of the seedlings, and I have had a fan on them 24/7. Is this normal? It’s not stretching FYI. I try not to give them a crutch to lean on so they grow stronger. Any Ideas?Week 1

The main stem of one of the Gorilla's had to be bent down. I have noticed that the buds seem abit small for the age and that her main stem is really bendy. Is it abit early to tell if they will get bigger with time or is it because of the stress?Week 1

The water in my reservoir stinks awfully bad by the time it's ready to be changed. Its overwhelming really. I am using a bacillus innoculant (hydroguard) with every reservoir change. Is there something I can do to stop the stench without hurting my plants?Week 5

Which of the two options do you choose and why:
Option 1: 1440w over 40sqft giving 36w per sqft
Option 2: 1440w over 48sqft giving 30w per sqft.
The difference is an extra 2x4 of grow space. Do i go for more lumens or more plants? This is my first LED setupWeek 4
