18/6 then 12/12.......there is no other. Sometimes if you have a plant with heavy Sativa genetics, you can go to 11/13 to help them finish more decisively and prevent continual re-flowering at the end (last 2-3 weeks).

Once your happy with the plant size in vegetation, you should just flip straight to 12/12. That’s the most common practice for flowering.

Review this model or help me create a DIY COB plus IR plus UVB grow light.
I've very limited variety of lights in this country so this is all I can find. Also there are no suppliers who provide spectrum charts or any temperature values for those lights. My goal is to make it with the best possible light spectrum. Having IR's also will help on cold days.

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, Mr.STM

Led on 18/6 grow/flower photoperiod
I have the idea to put a led in my second tent for pre growing photoperiod girls, I have some room left over for some autoflowers who also grow & flower on 18/6 light - leds can switch between grow/flower. If I switch the led to flower will that be OK for my photoperiod girls?

Luce rossa e blu insieme in vegetativa.
Secondo voi accendere led vegetativi luce blu, insieme alla luce rossa può fare male ai piantini. Oppure tenere tutte e due pulsanti della lampada accesi insieme non farà solo che bene alle piantine?

Light strips
Opinions on led strips down the poles of my tent for extra light or saving up for an upgrade.... I've been talking to a fellow grower and I know I need more light in order to have a better yield. I thought 4 light strips would give light from each side plus on top. Whatcha think?

UV LED slowing down growth? Sorry previous question without the question!
The plant has a rectangular area in the middle where it is not growing as quickly. The difference is almost 10cm. I suspect the lamp. Could it be that the centrally installed UV LEDs are causing this? They should grow more inside because of more light.

Help with issues ID
I have a photoperiod in a 5 gal using BAS light. It is currently day 3 of week 4 , and I'm getting some damage on the tops. Would this be light stress or another issue? The tips are starting to go light green. Using the 200 watt light for the 2x4x8 ac infinity tent.

How to grow Jack Herer and Power Plant strains
Hey growmies, I’ve started two Jack Herer fems and a Power Plant fem on my 3-D’s diary. I’ve read JH can be a mofo and should be grown on a 12/12 light cycle from seed. I read the same for PP also. Is this true???? I’m trying to maximize yield. Thoughts please… 🤯

Should I keep my light hours or take it back down?
I had 20/4 lightcycle on my autos but because of humidity problems, I had to raise the hours with light on. First to 22/2 and now I had to put it to 23/1. Tomorrow I will get another LED lamp and soon a dehumidifier. Can I then turn it down to 20/4 again without too much stress?

How do you use plant LED lights? I am using the BESTVA 3000, which has separate growth and bloom lights. After flowering begins, should I use both the growth and bloom lights together, or only the bloom lights?
