Hi growers! Should I change my light schedule for ...

Abavastarted grow question 6 years ago

Hi growers! Should I change my light schedule for my plants when they come to flowering period? Now I have grow-LEDs (300W) at 18 hr/day and daylight-LEDs (120W) at 24 hr/day. Plants start to get bushy and start dwarfling - i'm concerned I have too much light on them.

Wll you can let them run for 24 Hours, but in my opinion , everyone got have time to rest. Ive tried all different light schedules, and iam not rtecommending the 24 hours, plants get stressed easily. Vive them any schedule between 18 and 22 hours. I most Time pic 18 or 20 hours light. !8 is the minimum they should get. happy flowering

I just keep my auto's on 18/6 from seed to harvest. Especially in the end of flowering your plants need the darkness to have better terp production

You are growing autos so follow the instructions you can find everywhere around the world wide web : 18h of light from seed to harvest , 20h if you want, 24h will makes plants use more cal mag. If you want to grow under 12/12 the yield will be different from the other growers of this website . I am doing autos in 12/12 and my results are often lower than my grow mates who are under a classic 18/6 and when I finally have 70grams on a plant It can happens that I regret the fact I could not give her more light ( I am a outdoor grower , 12/12 is my outdoor natural schedule )

Trimming My plant is dense, all of the stems and flowers are close to the stalk. I was wondering if trimming all of the sun leaves to make room for sunlight would be a good idea, I don’t want to hurt my plant.

Defoliation before harvesting Hello, I hope some more experience grower would be able to give me a good advice. I’m in week 9 and planning to harvest at the end of week 11. Do you think that defoliating my girls would be a good idea? Should I take all big fan leaves? 🤔
