Quick help please

As above said, it's fine.. I am still learning.. but the amount of times I have changed light cycles around and never seemed to hurt anything I've lost count.. Obviously better not to disrupt the light cycle to begin with, but you won't hurt anything in doing so.
 
You'll be ok. Some advise to gradually shorten the light cycle to go to flower rather than going straight to 12 / 12. They say it reduces stretch. No personal experience.

To save on electricity there was a method of running lights for a certain time, then turning them off for an amount of time. Then on for an hour before they go into "night cycle", then off for a bit, back on a bit then off for night. Can't remember the name of it. It reduces quantity I'm pretty sure but saves power.
 
"This light cycle is 13 hours on and 11 hours off each and every day. Simply set your digital timer to come on for 12 hours, off for 5.5 hours, on again for 1 hour, then off for 5.5 hours."

"By doing this you will give the marijuana plant enough light per day for it to continue growing in the vegetative stage, as well you are saving close to 50% in your electricity bill. "
 
Found the name

"I prefer whats called the Gas Lamp Routine...for veg... 12 hours on, 5.5 hours off, 1 hour on, 5.5 hours off...You save a ton of money in electricity as well as the growth is explosive, the plants receive less stress and seem to promote flowers quicker... Overall I'm sold on it at its all I use for veg."
 
I flowered with 10 or 11. Small grow, personal use, and I'm a light weight. So I could afford to lose quantity as I was gaining quality over what I could buy here.
 
better have gud timers to program - NICE but too complicated for me. i need to save on multi light flower, veg not as much

Gas Lamp..... v. cool

Hmm that's interesting
 
I woke up this morning and noticed my humidity level was in high 80s. Most of my plants were a little droopy. Did the high humid level cause my plants to do that? I'm having a problem where my ducting is sweating inside my tent overnight. I'm pulling air in from the outside. Maybe I need to switch it around?
 
When I'm concerned about oxygen levels dropping amongst the root system from a repotting or heavy watering, I'll take something like a chopstick and poke air-wells along the sides of the nu container. this will immediately elevate oxygen levels!
