My plants

[lrlangley]

I am growing 5 different strands. The problem is my light. I am in the process of getting a higher watt light. Currently I have a 40w light. I know it's not powerful enough but when I switch the light to the 1200w will this shock the plants!!

Just keep your new light up high and give them time to get use to it, the 1200 you speak of is it led, if so start at 3 foot or so above and drop a few inches every couple days till you find that sweet spot. Most run leds about 18-24 inches above there plants.

Thank you, I got told yesterday there to small for being a month old. I'm sure that is due to the light issue. The light is a Mars hydro and a 4X4 grow tent.

Looking good keep it up

Looking VG, nice stems, you`ll see a huge difference once you use a more powerful light for growing.... Go 16/8 and keep an eye out the first week, to see if they`re adjusting. These plants love the light...:0) Good Luck..

What is 16/8 ? Hubs told me 24/7

You can do either or some people like 24 hours of light some people like 16 hours of light I do 24 hours of light because I can't make my room totally dark and it will stress the plants out a lot so then I just do 24 hours of light

 

[Sejd2131]

The reason you use 16/8 is to stimulate growing conditions outside as well as going 12/12 when flowering. I`ve tried 24/0 and didn`t like how my girls reacted. They seemed stressed out, like we need deep sleep, so do your girls... I normally like to water them with Nutes 30 mins before lights out so they absorb the Nutes for 8 hours. Once the lights come back on i notice they`re fuller and strong...
I suggest you read up on this subject and determine what works for you..

Would the 16/8 putting the plants in flower?
