Breaking light cycle during flowering

versace_growstarted grow question 4 years ago

Does breaking the dark cycle after half an hour of dark will stress the plant? I just opened the box 30 minutes after the light went down during the first week of flowering. Can this make my plants hermaphrodite?

You probably won't have any issues from one time, but don't make a habit of it. Def no pics once she is out, do that right immediately before/after lights if you need the flash or something. Be extra careful early in flower, you still have months to take care of the ladies. If you did stress her and throws nanners early it means more time for the seeds to fill your buds. I've bumped timers in week two and unknowingly grown buds that were totally seeded right in their core. Not the end of the world, but not ideal.

No, I advice you not to do that, but one time will not matter. Light leaks are what you need to worried about

I couldn’t tell you for definite as I’ve only ever grown two plants but neither hermied when I did it and I did it a bunch of times to take photos, however I’d wait for someone else to shine light😅✌️

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?

Lower RH or higher Co2 Lower RH or CO2 Hey what would the experienced growers prefer CO2 @1000ppm or reduce the RH from 62% to 55% (increase VPD from 1.2 to 1.3) during the last 3 weeks of flowering ? Good ventilation in the tent

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.

Bloom light on heat goes too high?When turning on the bloom setting the temps seem to be getting up to 84 on the very top of my tent and around 80-82 by the bud sites. Is this too high? Is there any problem turning the bloom high power switch off to let it cool down for a half hour once or 2 a day if too hot?
