16/8 is the only best veg method!!!! 24/7 I have done both and over 10 times 6 for 16/8 and 4 for 2/7 and in the clone/veg they were at least 1/3rd bigger in same time with the night period.. Never will get the no night sayers!!
Ok here we go.. btw this is state of art nft/areo, everything is precisely controlled. Just like a lab. No dirt, nothing but exactly what they need and immediate results. Ok that said lets talk. For light u need lots! forget about the bs, hps is the only way to go for flower. Forget about MH or anything other than Flours for veg, u need nothing else for that. In veg, u can do 24/7 but I have done 16/8 and they do much better! In flower it is 12/12 all the way and a few extra hours of strong light during the month actually helps.. like up to 20 mins a cycle. One good bloom nute is all u need. Skip all the hyped crap.. Botanicare soil bloom in rez and u are great! GH three part for veg. lasts a long time if u get three one gallon bottles. My plants were stressed stressed by accident and they now are completely bug resistant. Can't go into it all. RH keep always at 40-45 and u never will get mold! Veg plants can deal with the low RH. Keep your rez water cold! I mean Cold! If u have a strain that is any combo of Sativa/indica. Trust me u need cold water.. Under 65. Temps in room ideal is 65 to 80/day, cold at night! down to 55 and 59 being the best for the idica crosses.. Trust me!! Use no more than 1300ppm for the middle of your flower and then just add fresh water to bring it down nice and gentle to around 900 to finish. Don't over nute, just a waste. This is a weed people. Some weeds in yards die when the soil gets to healthy so do the mental on that! Use a good filter and a good return for air, this is a must and u will lose out if you don't do it.. U don't need co2 enrichment unless u want to go big time boys.. It is costly and work intensive unless u go big time $$ and still even then it can be. Clean Clean Clean! Keep a roll of heavy plastic under ur area and it will be easy to keep molds at bay. REmember molds are on everything.. That includes your skin and your clothes. So keep the rh low and u will be ok! Use all the plant! Get a silk screen 128 micron and save the bud leaves and stems that are tricked after they dry dry dry rub them over the stretched screen over a bowl and u will be surprised how much u get of pure kief. Don't trim off fan leaves!!! This is the meat of the plants fuel.. Cut up to one third of the stalk and leave it pretty much alone. If u don't have the space for fan leaves u need less plants!!! Inspect Inspect Inspect. Look at them very close every chance u get for one White Flys under leaves. Get em early. Two, mites. They can be tricky and u need to look very close for them on the stalks and the very tops. Look for spider like webs. Thrips, this one is a doozy.. They don't make visual nets or big individuals u will see easy. Look for them at the bottom of stalks around the base of plants containers surfaces and u, if u have them, will see the tiny bastards. They eat up your buds from basically the inside so very hard to spot. They look like semetrical little skinny footballs. Google all these bugs to see what they all look like. I have dealt with all of the above. The only thing u can do when late in flower is pray and throw out the bug infested plants. If u spray late u put poison in weed and I don't like u. Hope u get the mold u will most likely get then too. If u see any!! bugs u should also see them in your veg plants, this is when u get em! Or early in flower u treat. Use only Pyrethren sprays. Neem is great but u will mold up most of the time. Only one I would use in flower late. But I don't like any crap on my late buds. Cloning should be done right at start of 12/12. U should have roots within 10 days or u are not doing it right.
Ps. As for cops and electric use.. I am so tired of hearing parinoid questions on this subject. Ur 2 or 5 or just 1 1000hps won't get anyone to come to your grow.. U use 10 or 20 maybe.. The police have to have a warrant to get electric co to show them anything!!! Must have cause before even asking or it is thrown out!!! For comparison. Ur coffee pot is 800 or more watts. Ur ac/heater is anywhere from 3k to 6500k of watts. A space heater is average 1200k. A 1000 or 2000 watt system won't raise any concern for anyone!!! U put shit out on your curb for billy the garbage boy u are a fool and that will be cause for cops if u are stupid and they look. Don't sell to kids. Don't sell to idiots u don't know! Don't tell anyone u are a stupid pot farmer, u see if u do u are already stupid. GET IT!!? Use tap water that has sat out for a day. cheap, works great, and the difference from that, in most places that use only chlorine, to H/O water is so minimal.. I have done it!! Trust me!! Not worth the money! U can get a lot of personal use material from a single well grown plant. Don't over plant like so many do. I only grow 2 at a friends now but I used to grow 20+.. I am not a seller so It makes no sense anymore to grow more.. any questions please ask.. I thought I would give more info but I am losing focus so I leave it to u.... This is all tried and true and u can do as u like, believe it or not, but I have no reason to tell fibs and I have done it every way and this is real as I said not read in a book, even if I did read it, I have done it too. Made all things by hand. Bought lights of course... Remember weed is pure, perfect, God made! We crucified one other perfect thing a long time ago remember?? By the way a recent study, 20 years running with 5100 people up to one joint a day had no harmful lung effect. So last issue now proved that WEED can't harm your body!!.. P.
