What type of flowring?
PlanTingsstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi guys, Should I be doing 12-12 instead of 18-6 now? I am growing automatics, but they seem to be growing slow. Should I change to 12-12? At the moment I am using VEG+BLOOM LED light. Should I also just use the BLOOM red light? Also in the same tent i am growing other seeds, one

Since these are auto flowering plants, after 6 weeks, I would be expecting flowering to have commenced. Keeping them at 18/6 is best for all cannabis and going to 12/12 will severely limit growth and flower production.
I am not sure what sort of light you have, but after 6 weeks your plants aren't exactly booming and leaving both the veg and bloom lights on together is the recommended way of using LED lights with this ability. Just using the bloom light on its own won't have enough intensity or the right combination of light spectrums for best growth. You may have to rethink your lighting set up if you are seeking larger yields.
Hope this helps,.........

No stick to 18/6 or 20/4 with autos. Reducing light will slow growth more. You should be stretching now. Good luck and happy growing 👍

In flowering you can use just 12-12 light cycle , your plants are too small for so many weeks , check my diarys and see the autos , you should have a high humidity and a fan working. Plants like big humidity for veg. To flower you must have a lower humidity and a nice air flow on tent with new fresh air and extract air from tent to a good circulation. Hope it helps m8 and have a good grow ✌️

They look like they are flowering automatically because in some of your photos I can see pre-flower. In this case, you can leave the light 18-6 since autos do not require you to change light schedule, if you wanted you could grow them 24-0 for the entire grow and they would still flower. Your plants look healthy enough, but they look stunted to me, in your diary they are still small seedlings at 3 weeks, when they should be hitting veg growth and jumping up to 5 or 6 nodes and more at that point. What lighting have you had them under and how far away?

If they are autos, leave at 18/6. Keep both lights on unless you worried about the electric bill.

Sleepy plantsDo my plants know when they are about to go to sleep? I get that the RH rises at night. This is thing, iv noticed it spikes 15 mins before the lights go out. Is this when they have reached their VPD or do they just know it’s about to get dark?Week 8

can a plant be "frozen in time" (mid flowering) or is she just slow?These 2 are the same age, but one is more advanced than the other. The sad one used to be in a smaller pot and have a high pH (i just corrected), so i wonder if she's just slower or if she is stunt and will never recover because I replanted her during flowering (1,5 week ago).

Will this damage my plants?So, I figured out a solution to my ph prob. So, I refiltered the water twice and it was still hitting 7.8. So I added 3 drops of vinegar to 1l and brought it right down to 6.2. So I figure if I add even less, not enough to damage plants right. It's litteraly 2drops prob and 1ml??Plant. Other

The Edges aren't really crispy/dry. Is it maybe too much wind ( Windburn ) ? The Plant is receiving a slight breeze and the leaves are all shaking a bit.
