hello everyone
i've been reading this board for a long time, and have found it to be extremely helpful so first off i'd like to thank everyone here for all the good advice they've given.
ok, so i got 2 small plants that are 7 days old. i've been giving them anywhere from 17-20 hours of light everyday. the question is, is it ok to change up the lighting schedule (giving them an hour or two extra one day, and maybe giving them 1 or 2 hours less the next) as long as it stays within that 17-20 hour period? reason i'm asking is because i don't have a timer right now. i'm not doing the 24/7 thing because i've read here from reputable members that it's good to give your plant time to rest so it can grow, and build it's roots.
this is my first grow, so i'm using 120W CFLs on each of them for now. I'm going to upgrade my lighting soon, so i'm not sweating that. they seem to be growing at a decent pace...
