Vegetation Lights On Time

How long are you leaving the lights on during vegetation 18/6, or 24/0? A month ago my timer broke in the vegetation room, and my flowering timer was in use so I just left my vegetation at 24 hours a day with a simple 2 bulb T5. I picked up a couple of clones, all of which are different, and 2/3 are doing perfect, showing new roots, growth and staying entirely perky. The other clone is slowly growing new roots, though to be fair it appeared to have less roots out of the three from the start. However, this clone is starting to droop on a set of leaves, and it's in the same reservoir as the other two clones.. so I know it's not the ph or nutrients. Do you guys think it's possible that some strains are impacted adversely from 24/0 of vegetation light?

20/4, possibly equatorial strain where they get 12/12 almost year round.

Quere: are they all the same strain??

Light may be a little to intense for the droopy clone. If that's the case it should come good once it acclimatizes.

No, all three are different strains.

I didn't figure the 2bulb T5 fixture would be too intense for it.. I had been debating throwing the clones under the 315w for slightly higher temps and hopefully better growth.

Today is like day 5-6 for the clones, and the 2/3 are doing great.. it's just that one clone that doesn't seem to enjoy the setup too much. I don't know what it matters, but the strain is Chemdog '91.

I think sleep is good for them


That said my veg light has been on 24/7 to help up in the veg room

If temps were not a prob id do 20/4 or 18/6

Your right it shouldn't be. In either case if it was it should be fine by now.
