Now that my plants are 4 weeks old and doing well can I leave the lights on all the time for a week or so? I have been running 18 hours from day one.
You could… not sure why you want too…
Just like you or I , plants could use a rest…
I like to run 16 on and 8 off in vegg… plants seem to really like it and stay healthy…
Up to you tho…
Thanks. Just eager this is my first grow. I’m really excited at how quickly they are growing.
I dont know CAN you? lol j/k typically the 24hr light cycle is used for cloning and sprouting seeds but after x plant the photoperiod is reduced to 18/6. I use lowered photoperiods during veg like 14/10 if im trying to slow down growth to lengthen timelines if i’m waiting to move plants from veg room to flower room.
Dark period is the highest growth I’ve seen … It promotes root growth as well
yes a 6 hour dark period is typical anymore than that reduces potential yields IMO
Im doing 17 on rest off I think that gs ok to and it’s good to give them that rest bless
