24 hour light cycle?

August_Westerosstarted grow question 2 years ago

How advisable is it to run 24 hour light cycle? I’m interested because I live in the north and we’re getting to winter. The light divers provide some heat. They’re autoflower OG Kush.

20/4 is max. I do that in my autoflower room. The equipment needs a break. Plus plants need some rest. I run mine over night to battle cooler temps from outside.

18/6 works. Plants need a rest period just like we do. Anything beyond 18 hrs and your just wasting electricity and the lifecycle of your LEDs. If it's an Auto Flowering plant it's gonna flower based on time its been alive and photoperiod doesn't really matter.

There’s not much growth benefit from 24 hours. 18/6 will give the same production, But if you need it for heat and to keep the tent regulated, it won’t hurt the plants. If it’s easier to run 24 hours because of outside temps than run 24 hours.

LEDs lumens is there a method (which does not involve the purchase of a rather expensive device) to measure the lumens present in the growbox? I would like to make sure that the LEDs that I bought have the same performance declared on the package 😕

T5 vs. LED for veg?So I have a T5 light, and I’ve used it to veg quite a bit, and it does really well. My question is, should I use the T5 in just the seedling phase, then use LED for veg and flower? Or will the T5 give me good results throughout the veg cycle?

New Light? Find a way to raise light? More Fans? Combination? (Light: 44" above ground level | Tent Height: 63" Day avg: 78.6f) Should i worry?What do you guys recommend as far as lighting for this tent? I have a 300w led light but at the height it's currently at it is producing a large amount of heat with my exhaust and two oscillating fans? I also have other plants in with my seedling so could the humidity cause it?
