Light schedule

Ema26started grow question 5 years ago

My current light schedule is 18/6. Approx 11:45pm-5:45am I have a girl in flower in there and I’m starting another 3 plants but need to change the schedule to 11:45am-5:45pm What would be the best way to go about doing this? I also need some advice on hps light distances. Thanks!

The best way for you to achieve this would be to just leave the light on until 11 in the morning! From my experience it’s better to have to light on longer than go dark all that time! Good luck

Hps distance ... Download lux light meter app or something similar for your cell. 5-10k lux - seedlings 15-45k lux - veg 50k+ for flower. Then just good distance don't burn. Your questions confusing but figure your asking best way to drop your light hours. Can drop by 15 mins each day for no stress. Or just flip it to 12.

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?

Currently my lights are on a 18/6 schedule, from 6am, until 12am. I want to change their light cycle to start at 4pm and turn off at 10am, so the heat of the light balances the chill of the night. Whats the best way to do this, without triggering flowering, or stressing them.

Lights for heat- 24/7 okay?I really need the heat of the lights to keep the inside of my tent warm. To warm the air around the tent 24/7 would be expensive- much more expensive than using the lights all the time. But will this work with 24 hour lights? Will that stress the plants? Using auto flowers.
