Switching light schedule

Madmike88started grow question 5y ago

Can I turn my lights on 24hrs (currently 19 on 5 off) for the next week and then switch them back? (In week 4 of veg). Currently in a 3x3x5 tent with a light and heater and the vent open. The 5x5x7 I have is in my garage, no room in the house and 6 plants total

I mean you sure could.. I don’t think that it will cause considerable issue. If you’re gonna veg out for several weeks more maybe but if you’re gonna flip to 12/12 within a week or two i wouldn’t suggest it. That said, I’m in the camp of folks who think getting at least some dark at night is beneficial for the plants. Maybe switch to 22/2 or something

Ok, I'm not switching to them for a while, prolly another month or so. Only reason I'm considering the light change is due to cold weather. I'll prolly go ahead with the 22/2 so they do get some down time still.

Affordable but good growlight for small space I'm looking for a cheap light to grow one plant, the current one (90w) have just doesn't have enough juice so I'd like to upgrade. I know mars has some good and affordable lights. Any other brands or not so famous brands in Europe that are cheap but good? Tips are welcome!
