Light stress during the night time

Girl_Scoutstarted grow question 2 years 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 estrés ante la contaminación lumínica 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!

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

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

Lights Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

Lux Meter and Hydroponics Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.

growing outdoor Hi growers, I'm planning to grow three plants this month. It's my second time growing outdoors. Temperatures currently range between 15 and 22 degrees, but they will likely be higher in a few weeks. Is it warm enough to start? Which strain (auto) would you advise me to grow?

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?
