Auto and regular plants in one box.
CaptGrowstarted grow question 5 years ago
I got an auto plant in a box, waiting for flowering to start very soon. Light schedule 20/4. Now I planted a new photoperiodic seed in a same box. What should I do, keep the 20/4 light schedule before the auto plant finishes and after change to 18/6? Or change it right now?

hi, I always grow the femenized and automatic in 18 hours of light until the end. I made them grow two times in 24 hours light and 20/4 and I didn't like the result. I think plants need some period of no light to develop and their buds are formed in this dark period of rest

Ahoi Captain✌️,
my suggestion would be to change your light cycle to 18/6. I have to say I'm no big fan of 20/4, or 24/0. I think the damsel would be always stressed If there's no, or less time to recover.
Depending what you wanna do with your photoperiodic Señorita. If you keep her in veg for 6-8 weeks you could finish your Automatic and then switch to bloom for the photo- damsel.
I did it exactly this way in my actual run. I had a Lowryder Auto in the Box and two photoperiodic plants. Harvested Lowryder beginning this week.
Hope this helps a bit, If you wanna talk further just throw me a PM!
Have a good one, cheerz...

Sorry hat the question earlier before but I'm new here so I dont know how to undo the solved quesion status. The LED has about 300W and I want to dimm it. not simply turn it on/off. Preferably with some kind of integration in home automation systems like Home Assistant. Thanks :)

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?

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?
