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 to flip into flower?currently midway through my 9th week of veg and am wondering when I should send plants into flower, should I double check sex first? (Feminized seeds) or wait until my screen fills out more? Plants are in 3 gallons pots and I worry that they might get rootbound if I veg Longer.4 years ago

Small light/ big tentI just upgraded tents. It’s a 4x4x7 foot tent. I have a Mars Hydro TS1000. I know that’s not enough for that tent. But I have a plant in its 2nd week of flower that out grew the last tent. Is it ok to just keep that light above that one plant in that size tent? Thanks!!Setup. Lighting

Power and distanceOk so......
This is a Mars Hydro TSW2000 specific question.
1, When should i go 100% with the light as far as plant age is concerned?
2, I've seen various distance tables that all vary so i'm asking TSW2000 growers specifically what their distances are for Autos.
Many thanksWeek 5

Lights too close?While trying to figure out why my plant is so dwarf like I realized it might be the height of my lights. They’ve stayed that position ever since installed them. The problem is they’re basically at the ceiling of my box. Is my set up limiting its growth too?Setup. Lighting

I place her inside a barn in front of the glass door but she still hasnt there much light there. I ordered a 40 Watt full spectrum LED to add on the sunlight. Just read "used power 10 W" Will that be enough4 years ago

Efficient lightingKeeping both 200w VEG and 300w FLOWER lights 24h is too expensive for my alien wallet. So I left the veg light under 12h/12h and flower on.
Please share with me some of your past experiences and how can I save money and grow killer yields.
