Grow QuestionsGradually prepare for the "SWITCH"

Gradually prepare for the "SWITCH"

Fayah_Burnstarted grow question 3 years ago

Hello all! What is your way to prepare plants for the switch in terms of light? Do you reduce hours of light slowly until the day of the "switch"? Do you gradually push up the power of the lamp? At this time i am giving my ladies 24 hours of light, lamp at about 25% of power.

Your are correct that some growers will match DLI or just increase DLI by moving the lights closer in flower and keep the dark period at 12. You could if you wanted to graduly chnage the light like the sun does naturely it will just take some time. Most plants are ok with a hard switch of 12/12 from whatever they where on. I would do the switch at lights off. so if it was 18/6 from 5am to 11pm lights on, I would move it to 5am to 5pm. Good Luck!

No. Don't do that, yes you can play with the power. But the switch is something you should do instantly espically with fems/regs autos are more forgiving and don't mind light changes and different times if u get me. But just switch from 18/6 straight to 12/12 Don't come down you'll only confuse the process of fem she won't know when to flower or veg.

Yes, you reduce the lights to 12/12 and you'll notice them starting to flower within the next 7 days.

Some growers match DLI (Daily Light Integral), for example: 450 μmol/m²/s during 12 hours (veg) 900 μmol/m²/s during 24 hours (flowering) Has someone tried that?

Kind LED XL600 series 2 heights?Hey, I’m running 2x Kind Led xL600 series 2 lights and seen people running much much lower hanging heights than recommended (18inch instead of 30inch) and wondered if anyone has any PPFD or PAR readings at anything lower than 30inch or any reasons why they run them lower. Thanks

Switching from led to hps for flower?Howdy, does anyone switch from a blurple led board for veg, to a hps or similar style light for flower? Why, why not? Is it worth the little extra hassle to buy and install? I like my led just fine, but wondering if there’s more to be gained in flavor, quality & yield. Thanks!

Back To 24 Hour Light - Auto Flowers My autos switched from 24 hour light to 16 about 2 weeks ago to see if it would help make them bloom faster. Can I turn them back onto 24 hours or could that mess things up? I would like the most amount of light time. They should have 2 more weeks left
