I wanna change light schedule for my babies.. for now they run from 07 to 24 hours and I want to run from 18 to 12 hours so I would have dark period during day.. should I just leave it to run for 30 hours and then introduce new "night" time?? Plants are 4 autos 7 and 8 weeks old

Hi ! Ik heb dit ook gedaan toen ik mijn licht wou omkeren omwille van de te lage temperatuur in de nacht. Bij mij waren het wel fotoperiode planten en stond ik op 12/12, maar ja dat maakt nu geen verschil. Ik heb dit gedaan door een duistere periode te geven tussendoor. (dit schaadt de planten niet, geeft ze een klein beetje stress) En dan kan je makkelijk omschakelen op het juiste uur. Als het vanavond uitgaat om 24u, laat het dan uit tot morgen 18u. En dan begin je je lichtschema vanaf 18u tot 12u. Beter zo, dan de lamp veel te lang aanlaten. Succes!🌱

Thanks all for help, I thought it was too much stress to extend "day" time.. temperatures were problem and now when its not that cold during day I want to switch, power bill is also a factor far as night electricity is cheaper.. thanks again for all help ✋👍

Probeer echter bij een volgende kweek meteen het juiste lichtschema te berekenen. Het is beter om zoveel mogelijk stress te vermijden👍🌱

If they are half way through flowering, I would not change a thing for fear of freaking them out. If they were in veg, I would say, no problem. Is there a real need to change the times or have you changed your mind for whatever reason? If it is essential, probably giving them a longer sleep would be better than giving them a longer day. A longer day might freak them out due to their metabolism running at full steam much longer than they are used to, but a longer night combined with a "dormant" metabolism would have far less stress involved. The extra dark for one night will not cause any shock, but an extra long day may shock them. Hope this helps,..... Organoman.
