Verry useful video thanks! Deserves more views.
Ive grown weed with the lights on 24 7 for weeks it grows fast and big speacily in veg but im not sure if that is good for the plants or healthy for the plant may be less root mass when lights are on 24/7 but its probably better to have both rest period and a light periods time schedule . I heard night darkness and rest helps for developing roots . So when i would leave my plants on 24/7 for about 3 weeks then i would go back to normal schedule day and night schedule for 2 more weeks b4 flowering . I would leaves the lights on 24 /7 to get a bigger and taller plants faster growth in less days . Thats one reason i use to do that back in the day .
I have 6 plants going atm in veg on 24 hour lighting only because 2 of them are plants that were a few weeks into flower when I got them so trying to reveg. So baically you think they'll all be fine if i keep the 24/7 schedule until the 2 plants reveg then just set lights back to 18/6 for a couple weeks?
Great in the winter too.. Keeps your house warm.
I think 24hr at first and work them hard as children then dial it back. Keep them cool.
But a plant on the equator is accustomed to 12/12 with a 2 HR swing at most . So you would think they would be most effected by 24hr light . . Where as a Danish plant will get 20 hrs light , though only for a short time as the swing is much faster the further from the equator.
How many photons are they taking in a day?
I think plants in warmer climates that do not get much of a reduced day response to the amount of photons versus amount of daylight versus nighttime.
I think the plant decided to evolve to accept a certain level of photons versus timing of light.
@@skylarbluebluenosebully8535 equatorial plants receive more intense light, i.e more photons per hour , due to the proximity and angle of the sun . However they receive less hours of sun ( summer months of course) . The plants had no say in this and have to adapt. Their metabolism decreases and the growth of sexual maturity and flowering usually lengthens .
@@realreggaelutionrecords so I was in the ballpark? Got it. Lol.
I'm going to try 24-hour cycle for some autoflowers
At least for the first week! Then you can change to 20h light.
@@suki4410 nope going full 24
Yes, you can, as long as there is enough co2 and nutrients.@@Catch_u_reloadn
Did it but didn't see a difference in growth but can't hurt them so yolo
I went to a 16/8 veg to try and save on electricity and I'm thinking about doing 11/13 for bloom. That artic blast killed my electric bill
How did they do at 16/8m
I just switched to this. My last run was 18/6 and 12/12
Photoperiods need 12 hours of complete and uninterrupted darkness to flower properly. If you really want to cut down electricity, go with 6/12 (in favour of darkness ofc) for example, they'll flower just fine but be warned - you're losing a lot of biomass that way, same thing with cutting down veg time..
I grow on a 16/8 schedule… I live in Kauai so electricity is crazy … I don’t see why it wouldn’t work .compared to Hawaii light cycle that’s always in flower year round so I veg inside then throw um out … but in the summer time 4 months time 2 veg 2 flower it’s just how it is becuz of the 12/12 night day we get about an once or 2 a plant … so that’s why I veg inside
What about short light cycles. Does this exercise the plants like muscles to inspire growth? Such as 60 second or 60 minute cycling.
I thought that the daylight hours were more of a 12/12 environment on the equator thus the reason why sativas on the equator predominantly take 14 to 20 weeks. 🤔
When something in your tent needs a rest, it is your LED-board. Then you should try new timings like 10h light, 2h dark, 10h light, 2h dark. Two cyles in one day!
r u dumb actually
I rack mine for about 15hrs under an old light-mover with a 400MH; then put them in the sun; then repeat.
After he mention you get more hp if you run your engine 24hrs a day I had a bro science moment
What if harmful things to the plants need sleep so it kills the harmful things more
Then the plants . Little bugs with eyes that can’t close so the critter never sleeps and dies of exhaustion
In nature they get a night cycle 😊
12/12
Last 10 days 18/6 during flushing with one hour of uv in the final hour 💪
The phasing of the question wasn’t right imo. I run 18/6. But I’ve run 24 before when I first started. The question more would be. Cannabis is classified as a C3 plant which means it technically doesn’t require a night cycle to grow. Do you recommend a night cycle over none. And why. Or what could the possible cons be for running 24/7….because of your DLI is dialed to 24 hours you wouldn’t be over driving them as hard as people were before anyone was considering DLI. So if environment, light, irrigation, and nutrition were all dialed to a T (for example), would running 24 hours still have cons or would it be hard to tell a difference. Maybe less terps, maybe less potency. Maybe less secondary metabolites etc. all good talking points. I don’t advocate for a 24 hour light period but people would want to know this info is my guess
Plants didn't evolve so
Plants can evolve that's why they got auto flowers or look at weed in the 80s was like 5 percent thc now its like 40 percent thc the potency evolve certain genes In plants can evolve sometimes not always but its possiblein some cases.
what ?
“I think” does NOT equal science.
yes thinking is absolutely part of science . you should try it
