So i just started my auto seed. I thought i had it on a 18/6 schedule but accidentally have had it 24/0. Im going to buy a new timer soon, is it too late to switch the seedings lighting schedule if its been about 8 days of 24/0?
No, You can switch it to 18/6 anytime you wish
It’ll never know the difference… no worries
No worries. With indoor you play the roll of the sun. 24/0 is alright for now. I would knock it down to 22/2 for two days —> 20/4 for two days —> 18/6 as you end result. I feel like with plants less stress is always best.
Really you could just go to 18/6 but hey, I do things a little different.
Happy farming…
Sweet. Good to know. Thanks all.
As natural as can be, You are become creation!
You could leave to veg on 24 hours light if you want, change to anything mentioned above, or even something like 12/12 if light intensity is high enough. Seedlings aren’t mature enough to flower, so even a flowering schedule would be fine to hold them in veg until maturity.
I only have room to run one tent, so i will often start my next grow 3-4 weeks from projected harvest date on a shelf or table in the corner of my basement. I use a weak 30 watt led panel to do this, so just leave it on 24/7 until my tent is clear. From there i will veg them longer or flip to flower as needed. Cannabis is c3 plant and doesn’t need any dark cycle to complete all required processing.
Appreciate the detailed responses. Thats a lot of good information. Its been a week now and i have my lights on 20%, should i kick it up to 40% yet? Keeping it 18’’ away.
What wattage is your light
100W 2x2x4 tent
With autos it doesn’t matter if u have them on 24 hours of light or 18/6
@TboneCapone you need to call HLG on Monday morning and but you a refurbished 200 Diablo for $125
Yes true, but i wanted to start on 18/6 but i must be an idiot or something because my controller 69 isnt working right. I just dont wanna run everything all day. Give her a little break. Shes been working hard.
Yah i can understand that bro i prefer to use a 18/6 cycle but at the start i put the on a 24 cycle to get them to grow faster and bigger then i change to a 18/6
T-bone go 6&2 for awhile so it can rest and not work so long
Ooooooo I see. Okay cool, thanks man. You switch to 18/6 when veg starts or after a few weeks?
It has been growing fast with light being on all the time, im busy with work 13 hrs a day and every time I come home, shes changed. So fun to watch lol
Haha it’s amazing how fast they can grow … that advice was given to me by an old school grower that is very active on these forums/journals… gl
