Short period grow
GBaalrstarted grow question 3 years ago
Hey fellow growers.
So I have an odd question,
Is it actually possible to start grow with 12/12 straight away?
And how will it affect my plants?
Let's say I have 3 autos and one photo.
Will I have anything worth the time if I start straight with 12/12 light schedule? Thanks you

Your autos need 18 hours of light until their finished. The photo period needs 18 as well through her veg stage, unless you want them to start budding as soon as possible. You get bigger and better bud with a bigger plant. Best to have a separate room once you want to switch your photo period plants to 12 12

Yes—- people do it all the time. You will have shorter plants—- basically just one stem—- not a lot of side branching. The autos might take a while.

Or you can move the photos to a dark place once they had their 12 hours.

When to lower light intensity?When is the right time to lower light intensity? I'm on 5th week of flowering, should I keep my lights on max or reduce the power/increase the distance to plants? I have around 1000W of Led's at 35-60cm distance from the tops. I see no burning/bleaching or anything like that.

Soil pH not adjusting even after watering pH water.So Far I've been 6.5-7 pH water, & organic ferts BioThrive Grow, Bloom & CalMag. The soil pH doesn't seen to go any below 6.5; even though I've been feeding 5 pH water to make it lower. Why is this happening? What to do? Does organics in the soil auto-adjust the pH all by itself

Hi
I'm looking for anyone who has first hand experience with the lifespan of the led grow lights. I'm not looking for the manufacturer guidelines. Just anyone who has noticed any difference in performance from the LEDs over time..

Best Light Schedule for Autoflowers?I'm wondering what light schedules my fellow growers like to use with their Autoflowers? I'm debating weather the additional cost of a 20/4 is worth it in terms of growth and increased Bud Quality/Size over a 18/6 schedule. I would love to hear your experiences.Setup. Lighting

New growth is light green? (1st grow)New growth is light green – seems like Nitrogen deficiency or maybe light-burn? It's been getting slowly worse. Water ph is 6.7, Fox Farms nutes, AC Infinity 4x2 w/ 200w lights @ 18" on 80% power.
