Switching light schedule
Madmike88started grow question 4 years 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
Madmike88answered grow question 4 years ago
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.

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?

Sorry hat the question earlier before but I'm new here so I dont know how to undo the solved quesion status. The LED has about 300W and I want to dimm it. not simply turn it on/off. Preferably with some kind of integration in home automation systems like Home Assistant. Thanks :)

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Got a Mars Hydro TS600, will it do alright?My plan is to grow only 1 plant, in a 40x40x120 tent. I know the tent is pretty small but hopefully i can do some training on the plant to grow wide
Will the light do until the end? 100wats, but no light dim possibility. Currently growing seedling at 13 dli at 60 cm

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions
