N neil1992 Active Member Jun 7, 2008 #1 I have just started growing, how long should i keep the lights on for the plant to sprout, i know 12/12 is good but should it be longer at first. *My lighting is a 500W bulb, is that okay?

StonedSurfer54 Well-Known Member Jun 7, 2008 #3 i thought you keep the lights on 24hrs until like 3 weeks after sprouting, then switch to like 18/6 or 12/12? Im in the first couple weeks of sprouting

ganjagoddess Well-Known Member Jun 11, 2008 #5 Halogen contain virtually no red and blue spectrum light. These lights do more harm than good. In fact if your plant hasnt already died I am suprised. Fact 60 watt incadesent has more usable red and blue light than a 500watt Halogen.
