DoctorGreenThumbanswered grow question 4y ago
They need to sleep. Plants stop photosynthesis at night . After snacking on sunlight all day long, plants dedicate their nighttime hours to metabolizing the energy they've absorbed. By the next morning, 95% of their starch reserves is converted into sugar, providing nutrition to the plant and enabling it to grow.

I second what Greenthumb said.
I would do 18/6 for autos. You can do 20/4 but I don’t think you’ll notice much of a difference.
Plants are like us. They need to sleep.
Cheers 🤙

Hi, can anyone tell me if it's normal, or why those lower branches are stretching so much? I have only one 50w cob light. Which apparently produces equivalent to 150watt... Is that enough? I have only one plant and a very small grow box. Thanks for any advise :)

Grow lightsDoes this look ok? I have 2 plants not growing as fast as my macchiato plant. The other two are different strains, Runtz & Zittles. I don’t want to over do it but I know light is key so I thought I’d ask. Both 1000 watt uv & the other is led. I’m on veg week 5 of all 3.

When will the plant be good?..Hi! I am a beginner grower. I converted a refrigerator for micro-growing. How long until my first plant is finished? It grew semi-open air. The box was ready a few weeks ago and I put it in. My lamp is viperspectra p600. I welcome any useful advice. Thanks.

Light timer ProblemHey Growers.
So I made a dumbass mistakes…..for the last 18 days I have had my light timer set for 12 hrs 15 mins on and 11 hrs 45 off. They are looking good and budding up. I’m wondering is that close enough to 12/12 to have my day 1 flower be true for accuracy sake.
Thanks

Light spectrum during veg and bloom periodsI have 2 1000w full spectrum lights. Each light has 2 switches-a veg button and a bloom button. This gives 3 settings for the lights-veg only, bloom only and both lights on at the same time. What settings should I use during Veg and during flower and how close should I hang them?Setup. Lighting

Brown spotsWhat is this? It's affecting newer growth, first or second set of fan leaves off thee top of the colas. Also, this drooping, is this stress from the light? This is the center of my tent, and would appear to only affect tallest colas of this plant.
