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 )

End of my 7th week of flower with this indica-dominant Green Crack. Breeder says 7 to 8 weeks. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, although a few are still clear. 1 or 2 amber ones. I want an energetic high. Just posted a new pic of plants. Harvest in 3 days or wait 1 week?

Using a 48x48x80 tent in my basement. Humidity is reading 30%. Have tried all the tricks to raise it and it does temporary then lowers quickly. Reading so much conflicting info. Would a humidifier work in my tent? If so, please point me towards one to purchase. Thanks!

How do you guys check your trichomes? What % of amber do you have? Do check for milky/amber on the leaves or the bud itself? I have a microscope but it’s very hard to use unless I trim a little piece of bud or leaf off and inspect it on a table with my microscope.

The latest photos show the growths in Bruce Banner that look like hermaphrodite eggs. Do you think this is eggs or am I wrong? Would you destroy the plant at this point or break off the eggs and continue to observe? For good, I must destroy the plant. But there is still weak hope

I’m a bit unsure, re: bubblicious, do you think i should fim or top or leave them at this point? as they are pretty squat also do you think putting the full spectrum lighting on now is ok as i have done? i figured as its auto it wouldn’t make a difference, more light more growth.

Why is this Power Plant seedlings growth slow? Is it due to watering or just the fluctuation in weather conditions even though the temperatures remained consistent. Grow along with me.... I'd love some autoflower tips as this is my first autoflower grow.

Defoliation - fan leaves Yay - to help with RH and focus plants energy on colas Nay - because plants need their leaves to photosynthasise and better to remove larfy bud sites instead A well known Phd in plant biology is firmly in the nay camp What do you think?

I flipped the lights to 12/12 seven days ago, 14 days in to the life of the CBD babies. Is this too soon? Yesterday I changed to 11hrs on 13hrs off, because I was expecting a lot more growth in the last seven days. Am I being too eager after not growing a Photoperiod in a while?
