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.

My Girl's Gone Rogue with 10cm of Frosty Goodness!My lady decided to shatter the whole "week 10 harvest" and instead shoot 10cm, packing new flowers whiter than a yeti's behind in a blizzard!
This genetic curveball beats me.
Do I let her keep this frosty stretch, or do I harvest and let this mutant masterpiece become a solo act

Day 49 autoflower huge and not yet flowering. Help!Day 49 autoflower not flowering? She's huge and I'm running out of room in the tent (58" and my tent is only 6 ft). Should I flip the tent to 12/12? Do I then keep it 12/12 the rest of the grow? How will that affect the Day 30 plant? Should I add 2nd light for smaller plant?

2) Estres por movimiento (debido a tormentas y otras razones, muevo las plantas de ubicación varias veces por semana
3) Exceso de fertilizantes?

Why dont my plants grow towards the middle/light and instead concentrate near the walls?Looks like my plants are growing towards the wall and not towards the middle where the light should be the best.
Why do the plants behave like that and what should I do?
Raise the net, rotate some of the plants, then redo the net?
Remove the net completely?
leave it as it is?

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).
