Hi All,

I’m looking to get some opinions on photo periods in Veg. I have always used 24/0 but it seems that it fairly uncommon. Just curious to get your all thinking on this topic.

Thanks

I start my plants on 24/0, but usually switch them to 18/6. There is not much to benefit from running longer than 18 hours in veg. Unless maybe your light is way small.

I run my veg at 14/10. That’s because I put plants outside and that isn’t such a shock to them when I do…

I only do 12/12 from start to finish. But I dropped $800 on HLG lights so I can get away with this schedule.

Also plants like humans need to have a rest period each day. I would never go over 18/6 for Veg and then switch to 12/12 when ready to flower.
