Auto flower light schedule interrupted?

HeavyHeadstarted grow question 5y ago

I currently have my auto flower tent on 18hr but I’m wondering if I can just leave my tent open 24hr since it would help humidity and I like working on my plants on my days off but it is usually when the lights are off. Would the odd interruptions cause any problems?

A plant needs sleep my friend just like us. Yeah like Roberts said man. 4 hours at minimum they need to rest. I would look into a dehumidifier to combat your problem. Good luck 🤙

Just try and keep the room as dim as possible if you can. The beauty with autoflower is light leaks don't affect them in the way it effects photoperiod plants.

In a autoflower no. But it is healthier if they have a sleep time of 4 to 6 hours. Good luck and happy growing 🌱

Hi! I have just changed to 12/12 bloomtime for my girls. I have a wifi-cam installed so I can check in on them when I want. It has night vision so there are a few red dots(led) from the IR. Can they cause trouble nighttime?

Slow indoor seedling growth 4 days since sprout, issues with light timer, seedlings ended up getting 48 hrs of light after they sprouted, and this AM I found that the timer did not turn the light back on so it got 11 hours of dark last night instead of 6. Could this be detrimental to seedling?

MARS HYDRO TSL 2000 The problem has arisen now, every time it turns on only half of the panel lights up, if I change the position of the plug it fixes it until the next cycle when it has to turn on again, and the exact same thing happens.

Currently my lights are on a 18/6 schedule, from 6am, until 12am. I want to change their light cycle to start at 4pm and turn off at 10am, so the heat of the light balances the chill of the night. Whats the best way to do this, without triggering flowering, or stressing them.
