Light stress during the night time
Girl_Scoutstarted grow question 3y ago
Question to outdoor growers. The auto flowering plant is growing in the garden, and sometimes there is light on during night time, can it cause light stress? It's usual light bulb, 40w, in some distance

Las plantas auto florecientes NO se estresan por tener luces por la noche
Debido a que NO dependen del horario de luz para florecer, no presentan estrĂ©s ante la contaminaciĂłn lumĂnica
Esta es una de sus ventajas para los cultivadores caseros
Por ejemplo, en interior se pueden cultivar hasta con horas de luz de 24 horas ininterrumpidamente (aunque no es lo más recomendable)

Autoflowers are successfully grown under 24/7 lights indoors - it's not ideal (plants need SOME rest) but it can be done - so a little light during the night outdoors won't phase them at all. All my autoflowers grow indoors under 20/4 light/dark throughout their lives...
Relax - autoflowers are just going to do their thing! Good luck!

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.Setup. Lighting

Small light/ big tentI just upgraded tents. It’s a 4x4x7 foot tent. I have a Mars Hydro TS1000. I know that’s not enough for that tent. But I have a plant in its 2nd week of flower that out grew the last tent. Is it ok to just keep that light above that one plant in that size tent? Thanks!!Setup. Lighting

Yellowing Too Fast Or Natural?I'm roughly 2-3 weeks into flower. Over the last week, I've noticed more yellow leaves than normal. Majority are bigger, older fan leaves but some are moving up the plants. New growths are a nice green and buds look healthy. Am I under feeding or overreacting?5y ago
