Re: Perfect Light Hrs for vegging??
It really is up to you as the grower, I typically do 18/6 just because a daily sleep cycle only seems natural to me. Also some people go 12/12 from the very beginning, if your happy with them then go with it. Just make sure to do 24hrs dark before you start flowering on 12/12 from 24/0

Re: Perfect Light Hrs for vegging??
I went 24/0 during veg and 12/12 in flower. The way I see it, as long as you're giving them light, they are going to use it. I gave my babies a full 24hrs of darkness before putting them on 12/12 as I have read this resets their clock and they transition into flowering faster. I can't confirm if this is true, as it still took about a week before any preflowers started to show.

Thanks All, I heard 18/6...24/0...I did NOT know if using 24/0 you should do 24 hrs of night before flowering...cool Thanks! If using 12/12...does flowering take place on its own? Im on 24/0..the soil does dry out fast...I water everyday..nutes every other day. I sprinkle a little limestone powder every other nute day. Thanks all
I was running 24 and I found that my plants seem to be much more vigorous when I went to 23 hours.

I didn't track node spacing or anything even close to scientific... I just noticed that my babies looked healthier and grew faster.
Cheers!

I do a 24/0 and they love it!!! They are short, bushy, and a lovely green. I agree with bigtires001, 24/0 does give the least amount of node spacing. I dont do a 24 hour dark period. I slam them straight into 12/12. By doing that I have found I get preflowers within 3-4 days.
