I went 24 my first grow. 20/4 my second. Saw little difference. Electric bill maybe. But I like the idea of giving them sleep time. Doing 18/6 on grow 3.
Actually, MJ plants don't need darkness during veg. I'm a long-timer, and I use 24/0 for vegging year round, except in the hot summertime, during which I veg at 18/6. My plants grow faster and are ready for flowering sooner when I veg at 24/0. I've been doing this far long enough to have seen the difference for myself.
well now we have him confused. can you elaborate on when you start your 24/0 lights? straight from seed? i've seen alot of works on it but a don't like first time growers going near it. therez a bunch of other things we can get away with but let's get him his first crop as painlessly as possible.or u can say shut up mudballs and takeover.
Avoid that blood and bone for now, add the perlitea bout 20-30 % is good
The guy who got me started didn't give me options and I did not have any idea at the time that others did it differently. After discovering RIU and the commonly used options, I asked him why he did not use 20 or 18 and his short answer was "why would I want to restrict their grow time??" Followed by much of what you just said. He also is a long time grower.
I use 24/0 from day 1, until I switch to 12/12 for flowering.
Hey Erik green. Careful useing bone or blood meal straight into soil. Will burn the shit out of plants if not cooked. Potent stuff carefull!
