light

now then crew, wots the differance in a 16 hour cycle and a 18 hour cycle, how does it effect the growth ov the plants, is it better starting with the 16 hour cycle 4 the first 3/4 weeks and then change it 2 the 18 hour cycle 4 another 3/4 weeks, or is it just the same. cheers fella's.

Hey there, I start all of my seedlings and starts with 24 hours of light (lights on means plant intakes energy), after two weeks I change my lighting to 18/6 because the plant can start putting that stored energy to use with a production (dark) cycle. The plant works harder expending it's energy when lights are off so growth is vigorous. After about 4 - 6 weeks of veg (2 weeks of 18/6 light) I change to the standard 12/12 flower light period. This growth schedule is very effective, the plant grows very similar to natural conditions with slow progressions of light change. Hope I could be of some help. Happy Growing

sounds like a pretty good schedule.

now then kush, M8 that sounds really good, this only my second grow so i av not had time 2 experiment, i am just in the 24 period now so i see how ur system works 4 me, thanks 4 ya very good info. cheers fella's

Brah, ya dont NEED to do 24 hrs. Ya only need 6 hours of sleep fer veg. Then 12 hours of sleep fer flower. Thats all ya NEED
I edit this remembering that there are too many 12/12 from seed grows, to believe ANYTHING!!! Those grows are lookin GR8!
