It depends on the age of your plant Seedlings actually need very little light. The veg light is fine for the first couple of weeks. I switch my plants to full lighting so they have access to the full spectrum available throughout the grow at the end of week 2. While red lighting is especially important for bloom, it is still utilized during vegetative growth as well. After the seedlings are growing for a few weeks turn both the lights on and keep them both on for most of the grow. The first few weeks of flowering your plant will stretch and put on some massive vegetative growth before throwing pistils. The veg light switch is essential for this growth. I keep full lights on until harvest after the first two weeks.

Hi @ jacare111 depends on the power of your Led and depends on the state of the plant. with everything on ,your light has a better spectrum. the more light your plants receive the more they will grow both in vegetative and flowering. if it is a led with enough power growing autoflowering, you only need the vegetative light for the first 2/3 weeks and between 3/4 weeks you can turn on the two switches. good luck mate 👍

If I was you I would just run the veg side for the first couple weeks ! If your plants try to stretch to much too fast then that’s when I would give it the go ahead to both switches! But by the end of the 3 rd week! Flip both switches should be fine!! Good luck 👍🍀
