Sometimes I give mine a field trip too. Be cautious of hitchhikers though. That night before I put them up for their nap I'll give a misting of Neem extract to be on the safe side. No problems so far. Keep inspecting for any pests.

switching lights from veg to flower.
Hi. Ive seen a lot of growers leave there lights on 24hrs or 18/6. Ive always switched mine to 12/12 when switching to Flowering. Has anybody noticed a difference when leaving lights on 24hr or 18/6 instead of 12/12. Thanks.

Plants Growing Taller Than Light
My plants are growing taller than the LED light! The hanging wires that came w/ the light are now too long; even after rigging the wires so the light will hang at a higher distance. I am using a 4 ft. tall grow tent. How/what can I use to adjust the height of the light?

If humans took weed to grow on another planet where the sun was up for 28 hours and down for 10 hours, how well would it grow? Would the plants adapt to the different light / dark times? Or maybe 24 of hours light, 6 hours of dark? Theories? Earthly Proof? Comments? 👽
