if you get mites then mite control, simple...simple as long as earlyWell fuck, I'm can't start any new pots soon. Oh well, hopefully I'm a lucky one.
I had a couple TGA strains grown from seed that tried to get PM on me in the middle of a hot summer! Sprayed them daily with some mild lemon juice/water mixture. It was gone in a week and never came back.
Got the lemon juice at Costco:

Great pointer Mo
@doublejj is running his veg 24/0. His look great.
I have heard that they like to have a rest and so I use 18/6 (I am also not in a hurry).
Mo is right... The plants Develop Roots in the night. So I would definitely have Some darkness... Maybe try out 21/3...!?cool, tomorrow i'm pulling all of my veg room out from under the light, and spraying it all down, along with the quarantined clones i have (in another room of course). Thanks Mo. The organic community on this site is top notch. Just want to thank you all for helping me speed up the learning curve, and helping along the way. I'm thinking about starting a thread soon for my garden. be kinda cool to see the vegamatrix transition to living soil in a single thread.
who here runs a 24/0 veg cycle? i've been wondering if i should switch back to 18/6 or 20/4 cycle... maybe i need to do some research on the interwebz....
my plants develop plenty of roots with no darkness lol. i just wonder if giving them a rest would just be beneficial in some way because after all, they evolved with darkness at night.Mo is right...

I agree 100 percent. I have fkn streetlights on below and lights on Buddha's alter and all sorts of random lights being flipped on throughout night....NO issuesmy plants develop plenty of roots with no darkness lol. i just wonder if giving them a rest would just be beneficial in some way because after all, they evolved with darkness at night.
speaking of darkness at night.... i find it pretty funny that people freak out over a couple pinholes in their grow at night. Is it ever really, truly 100% dark outside every night? hell no. growers claim that pinholes cause hermies in their grow... when more likely it's stress, or genetics. this is just my common sense rambling. i have no fact to back this up, but i'm calling "myth busted" on this one. what you guys think?
If you are growing outdoors it is different. I've seen light leaks both delay the flowering of plants and cause hermaphrodites indoors.my plants develop plenty of roots with no darkness lol. i just wonder if giving them a rest would just be beneficial in some way because after all, they evolved with darkness at night.

I could be mistaken here, but it was my understanding when plants are under 24 hours of light respiration happens during daylight hours. Not natural imo. I have also run 18/6 and 24/0 and I didn't see much if any gain from the additional light. To each their own. I prefer to save a little money and deal with a little less heat by utilizing a dark period.well at night, photosynthetic processes just stop. plants will continue to grow but they use the sugars produced by photosynthesis that were stored up in leaves and in the roots. that's kinda why 24hrs works, because they don't really need the rest... but i'm sure they'd like it!
i agree, i think i'm going to switch my plants to a dark period in veg... but i'm unsure of how to go about doing that from 24 hr..... should i just go like 1hr at first for a few days to a week... then 1.5hrs for a while... and just keep gradually doing it? i'm afraid they will flower if i go right to 4 or 6 hrs dark.I prefer to save a little money and deal with a little less heat by utilizing a dark period.

i'm pretty sure cellular respiration happens 24/7... the only thing that stops is photosynthesis.I could be mistaken here, but it was my understanding when plants are under 24 hours of light respiration happens during daylight hours.

You are correct, respiration happens 24/7. I was thinking respiration increased in the dark cycle. So far this is all I found:i'm pretty sure cellular respiration happens 24/7... the only thing that stops is photosynthesis.
As long as you don't give them 12 hours of darkness they can't flower. Feel free to drop it to your new schedule they will be fine.i agree, i think i'm going to switch my plants to a dark period in veg... but i'm unsure of how to go about doing that from 24 hr..... should i just go like 1hr at first for a few days to a week... then 1.5hrs for a while... and just keep gradually doing it? i'm afraid they will flower if i go right to 4 or 6 hrs dark.
not true. i've switched a plant from a 24 schedule to a dark period and it flowered on me. I'm not saying that every strain will do this, but it did happen to me. i know they reveg but i really don't wanna go through all that... i might have to i guess....As long as you don't give them 12 hours of darkness they can't flower.
