Change light schedule

GrowerLacey
GrowerLaceystarted grow question 3 years ago
My babies are now in 8wks, the light schedule is 17:7. I have scheduled the 8hrs sleep frm 5am-12pm (this is my sleep time) and now that I hve changed my sleep time, I would like to change their sleep time too, from 10pm to 5am. How will I change the light without stressing them?

If you are shifting to flower, simply extend the lights off period to 12 or 13 hours. Some argue that a gradual shift will put less stress on the plant, and simulate natural habitat. But again, if the plant from breader is coming from a artificial enviroment and they shift without gradual shift, this is what you should do. I've been doing research myself, as i just shifted to bloom And i found that gradual shift brings pros and cons. For me personally, the cons of having the extra attention changing the light schedule gradually And the cons on how long the shifts would take Did not do justice for the pros of a gradual shift. One of "Garden talks with Mr. Grow it" touches on this subject. Here the experts argues that through their research, they found no advantage of a gradual shift. But again, its trail and error. :)
