14 10 light schedual for germ

GoRealUhGro · Mar 10, 2016

So you guys think this is an okay light schedual for germ ...I know it will work because I have two popped but it took an ungodly long time for thsm to sprout....I have added extra lights since then but I have the same light schedual

Why not 18/6 or even full 24 hour light?

GoRealUhGro · Mar 13, 2016

B3 cause I'm going to put them outside soon and when I do I want the light schedual to be the same as the sun bro....

I don't want them to reveg at all...that shit stunts the hell out a ur plant and can be the difference in a lot of quality and smoke imo

what do you mean by reveg man if there not even popped yet and the two that are are seedlings if there going outside their going to veg all summer anyway so there is no revegging in this scenario

it would be fine to run them at 18/6 to promote growth faster the amount of time the sun is out during a day wont hurt them when they go out as long as you harden them off first

In that case get them on 24 hour light cycle and make sure you don't get them outside to early.

to answer your first question about if its an ok schedule as long as you keep your medium moist not soaked and area warm man you dont need any light to germ seeds

GoRealUhGro · Mar 13, 2016

Well since I posted this 8 have popped...and if they are one an 18 hr or 24 hr light schedual and u take them outside in april and have 14 hrs of light they will try to flower...then they realize the days are still getting longer and go back to veg...or am I just crazy....

Iv always been told...read..and seen for myself by leaving the lights on that long inside and taking them out in early April will stunt your plant ...I tried matching the suns hrs before but the plants were already sprouted and they done way better than the ones I left on for 24 hrs and 18\6...I'm a firm believer that the more u mimic nature the better results you will have....if I could I would have them outside now....I got a late start this year ...usually u plant on valentine's day but I couldn't get my supplies till last Tuesday

evergreengardener · Mar 13, 2016

naw man keep them in a little longer and youll have to harden them off outside put them out in sun 30min to a hour a day increasing time over 2week period untill their able to withstand the conditions outside and by then the hours in the day will have increased and youll be good to go

GoRealUhGro · Mar 13, 2016

See that's the problem...I can't keep them inside that long....and I always take my plants outside everytime I get a chance..it helps so much imo...getting that sunlight...wind..rain beating on them and that junk makes em strong. ..and when I do that I never have to harden my shit off when it's time to go outside for good which is a plus cause u don't have to keep em in the shade for two weeks...a plant can do a lot of growing in a 2 week period

i dont know what climate your in says east coast im also on east coast and if i put out in feb or even mid april theres still a chance for frost this year has been pretty mild but i still wouldnt risk putting my girls out untill around mothers day or later depending on the weather near Adirondacks here...............................just my 2 cents though many different thing work for diff ppl thats what makes this plant magical lol

GoRealUhGro · Mar 13, 2016

I am usually a pretty good judge of when the frost is over...and I keep them in pots I can move easily just incase it frosts or where I have steaks around my plants I will run down and cover them up with plastic or a sheet the night before...but that's only if I can't move em

that is basically the same as hardening them off imo....but to each his own man no disrespect brother

I see i havent planted outdoors in some time now but when i did i never liked to visit them over reasons like that so i just waited but thats just how i did it

GoRealUhGro · Mar 13, 2016

Oh ur exactly right...but most ppl never take them out till its time to permanently leave them and then they have to harden them off for awhile ...but by doing it the way we are speaking of there isn't any need for that...it helps in so many way to get the exposed early....I'll even let them stay out on cold ass days If they r big enough to help build a good immune system

evergreengardener · Mar 13, 2016

yea man it does help them to be exposed but i wouldnt leave them out if its to cold man as im sure you already know

I got a 50% shade cloth for the green house so the hardening off is easier.

that definitely helps lol but hardening off in a green house is usually easier since their not in the full conditions as they have some shelter to them
