Changing light schedule on an auto?
Toastdtoaststarted grow question 2 years ago
My plant sprouted 5 days ago, because of temps last night I left the light on and will for the next few days to maintain temp. Its an autoflower but I like having a dark period for my autos. Will it hurt anything if I go back to 20/4 or should I let it ride?

It will not hurt, 20/4 is a great light schedule. Honestly, don't worry about transitioning it or anything it is an auto and will not mind, especially at this early stage.

Totally ok to go back to 20/4 it won’t affect the auto at all for where it’s at.

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,

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

ViparSpectra XS 1000 (x2) vs. HLG 100 RSpec (x2)Thoughts on VS XS 1000 (x2) vs. me buying HLG 100 RSpec (x2)? They'd go to either side of my HLG 225 in a tent that's 2.75' deep and 5' wide to 'fill the wings' more evenly. Thoughts on build, safety, quality & heat?

My grow kit will arrive this week. is there anything I need to watch out for considering the fact that they only have stood by the window (mostly cloudy weather) for most of their lives? I don't want them to get overloaded with the rays of my growlight 😇

Yellowing leaves after first Mainline top. Light stress?Just checking in here, I am pretty sure this is light stress. it was at 18" (specs say 18-24" during veg) and she was likely pretty stressed after having her top cut off!!!
I have raised light to 23". Am I on the right track here?
