LED light with switches for both auto and fem

[JelitoKopito]

Hi I have Mars Hydro Pro light with veg switches and bloom switches.
I currently have autos so I use both switches all the time.
But next grow I want to use feminized due to making clones from mothers.

and what I dont know if feminized will flower on both switches being turn on.
or I will have to go only on bloom switch which means lower wattage and lower light efficiency.

In that case it would more make sense to grow only autos?

It's the light cycle not spectrum that make a plant flower
Changing to 12/12 light not the spectrum

You'll be fine

rly? then why bloom switch is red and veg switch blue

 

[JelitoKopito]

but still feminized are supposed to be 12/12 veg and 18/6 flower?

 

[Chris Scorpio]

It's just more light

Most run both switches on start to finish

Well maybe after seedling stage

Ya may wanna read up on light cycles, how to flower, etc with cannabis

Read my friend...read


Veg is 18/6 20/4 or any combo close to that

Flower is 12/12

For photo period plants, during veg you flip the veg switch only. For bloom, flip both the veg and bloom switches. You don't need both switches on from start to finish, it's just a waste of electricity. And it's 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flower, not the other way around.

well thats good cuz Im currently starting my 2nd grow of autos so when there will be time I will start third of feminized 18/6 veg and until then my autos will be in flower.
I have light rail so my younger plant have light but not that much as flowering plants

Blue spectrum is better for veg. Red spectrum better for bloom mate. Best to keep both on for bloom but don't need both for veg.
