Is bad if my auto outdoor seed receive less than 8hrs of light?
Loelol33started grow question 2 years ago
Hi,
Currently I’m in the week 2 with a seedling Tangie auto from BSF and in the week 1 with a Al auto from fastbuds, both outdoor
I’m in the end of summer and I notice that I have 6hrs of direct sun light per day? Is this bad for my plants or they can live with this sun light?

roughly a minimum of 21-22DLI is considered the threshold for growing decent buds... with that info you could guesstimate how much it got that day referencing a regional DLI map... ~35-40 dli is about as much as they can use in a 24 hour period given atmospheric co2. (co2 is the limiting factor in the chemical equation.. you can bank on this with common sense -- variables involved make it a ballpark idea not a precise value.)

That's fine. There's so much indirect light outside, the plant won't die due to lack of direct sunlight. I have friends that grow under forest canopies and their plants get 1-2 hours of direct sunlight a day. Their plants still produce nice buds and make it through the whole cycle.
Is it optimized? No.
Will it provide sustenance for the plant and decent smoke for you? Definitely.

it's not great, but it won't hurt it.
it got less energy that day... a very cloudy day might be similar.
it depends on region too... the sun is much stronger in some regions... you can reference a regional DLI may for the time of year -- any good source will have 12 months of maps for your area as it changes with seasons too... the world revolves on a tilted axis relative to the sun.
if in a high dli area, it may have gotten a good amount even with 8 hours, but most likely was a bit short that day.

Tranquilamente puede terminar su ciclo de vida. Cuanta mas horas de luz directa tenga va a favorecer el crecimiento de la planta. No te preocupes tu planta va a vivir.

Stretchy seedlings...worried!Hi, I have 5 seedlings on day 7. 2 of them are going fine but the three from ditch passion were very stretchy though. Likely due to having the light to far away. Take a look, any advise would be great. Cheers all!

Cover seedling for increased humidity?1. Does it make sense to cover the seedling with a cover (bottom of a plastic bottle) to increase humidity or should i remove it (e.g. for better air circulation)?
2. Should i switch on a fan that moves the air a little bit (pointing it above the plant)?Setup. Seedling

Amber and still many clear trichomesApproaching harvest time and im confused with still seeing a lot of clear trichomes.
I identify already about 40%+ amber trichomes at the top of the main cola fading to 20% amber in the middle of it.
Lower buds/colas have 20% amber.
Am i just overreacting over nothing?

Why are my seedlings so leggy when they get enough light?I added pictures from 4 days after germ and wonder why my seedlings are so leggy (~5cm). I already filled it up with soil and they would be 10cm by now if I didn't. First 2 days was 12-14 DLI and since yesterday am giving them more light than many guides say: 250-270 PPFD, 18 DLI

Bract/calyx turning brownHey fellow growmies,
i noticed brown bract/calyxes on one of my plants. (week 12, auto, 20 % amber)
Iwasnt't worried until I found them inside of some buds while checking for budrot.
Should I be concernend (cut the buds), or is this just the circle of the plant life or genetics?
