24/0 lighting not working for me

i have left my lights on 24/7 and in 2 weeks my lil babies are weak 5 leaves and only 2 inchens tall. im going to put them in 18/6 lighting, could that be bad for them? the transition i mean>?

are you starting with clones or seeds? ive heard clones are better under the 18/6. im still in the vegging stage on my babies and i use the 18/6, to me i cant see how 24hrs of intense light can help something grow. with my plants i have noticed that almost all growth happens when the lights are off. i know that sounds stupid but i swear its true and i have other people that witnesses it too. go 18/6 i think it will work out for you

yea i stared them from seeds, but i have em in an aerogarden and the ph was at 8.00 for the first week, lol my fault, i just turned of the light just now and will turn em on at 7:00 in the morning... 18/6

cool man best of luck to ya! let me know how it works out for yeah cuz i think alot of people go 24/0 an i cant imagine ever even trying that after seeing my plant grow like they are.

i think they only say 24/0 is good becase they are to lazy to buy a timer and to manually turn em off everytime. at least i was, just bought some timers though, IT WAS AN EXCUSE LOLs but i dont think that is what nature intended

I have been thinking of trying 18/6, but I have good results with 24/0. It's not a matter of not having a timer either. I always have at least 1 or 2 on the shelf as backups. What kind of light are you using?

yah man, just bag the 24 hr lighting and go 18/6 youll be fine

I did 24/0 with very good results using 6500K CFLs. I'm not going to link anything so if you care enough go look for yourself somewhere but I did read on this forum once that a MJ's root system is a certain type that does not need a dark stage to grow. That being said I run 19/5

It might be something other then the lights. The PH has a lot to do with that as well. If it's too high or low that will slow the growth process a lot. You said that your growing in an Arogarden you should get a bubbler or 2 and put them in their as well to help the roots get O2

lighting in the beging the very begining first week lighting isnt even needed its dark in the dirt where u put the seeds the second week however i used 5 ballasts thats 10 32w daylight flouro t8 bulbs and vegged 50 plants to a 6 inch height all in 16 oz plastic cups. with a 24hr cycle i ran 24 hr for 2 months b4 i changed anything
