How long do I leave my light for 24/0?

Okay. My plant is about 2 weeks old I want to say. Give or take a few days. It is currently under 1 cfl 6500k bulb for vegging now. Keep in mind this is only 1 plant and a tent that is 1' 4" x 1' 4" x 3' 11".

I hear from many people do 24/0 and 18/6. Which one is it?
Being 2 weeks old, I fed it nutes (technaflora's kit for success) last night at 1/8 strength. I believe that is half of 1/4 strength. I checked on my baby today and looks like she is doing fantastic!!!

For example, if i were to feed my baby too much nutes, how long will it take from the moment you feed it too much nutes to the moment you first realize you fed too much??

Oh, that tiny spot you see on the leaf was there before i fed those nutes. Had it since i brought her inside from the sun.

ok first it is not necessary to have it on 24/0 , i always start with the 18 /6 ,

but since you got such a small space the 24/0 wont hurt ,

what happens on the 24/0 cycle is that it makes the plant grow short and bushy

because its not reaching for light during an off cycle ,

but keep in mind you still got to cut your lights down to 12/12 when your ready to flower

and your plant will double in size then ,

i dont give my seedlings any nutes at all , i normally wait about a mounth or so first , then i will give it some nutes ,

also your going to need more then just that one cfl , unless you upgrade to a bigger cfl like this one atleast or bigger ,



here is a link you can check out for different cfl`s

their is plenty to choose from , hope this helps you out some

24/0 is a waste of energy IMO...i have only vegged under 18/6 get good growth so to me no need to change...but plenty of ppl do it so i guess with only 1 light you may need to have it on that long...but get you some more lights go to walmart...

sry im to tired to read the whole thread but you should really only leave your lights on 24/7 days , for 14days , anymore then that and u dont see enuff growth to make up for the power bil.
