Hello everyone I bought a hydro kit from cailgrowkits it came with 2 LED bulbs. Now my question is should I leave the lights on 24/7? I bought seeds without thinking about that. the lights are mad for all grow stages but should I have gotten auto flowering seeds? What should I do for hoe many hrs on and how many hrs off.
first time with hydro

I can tell you how I would do it...But there are many ways to skin a cat. I start off 18/6, Till they sprout up and get some new leaves. Then I goto 24/0...Is this first time growing? Or just w/Hydro...First time ever I always rec. auto. I was very impatient on my first grow, and wanted to switch 12/12 a week after they sprouted. Maybe you don't have this prob. Again this is all just my personal opinion...Let's see some pic's of the new setup!!!

Jesus. Just turn the damned things on and leave them on 24 until you flower them if photoperiods. Then switch to 12/12. If autos leave on 24 or 20/4 (to save some juice). Pot has no dark requirements during vegetation. Beginners - KISS!
Thankyou guys for the help. My shipment should be in today so when I set it up i'll take a picture. Also this is my first time growing I bought pinapple kush seeds but there not auto and I bought them before I knew about the lights. The 2 LED lights are made for all growing stages so if I leave them on 24/7 will they just flower?

No. Regular seeds are photoperiod. Run them 24 for a good month to veg them really well. Then switch to 12/12. I said at least a month, not to switch at a month. But you will because you'll be anxious and nobody would blame you.
