Hello RIU Land,
I use CFL's for seedlings and I keep the light on 24/7.
I have been keeping my plants on 24/7 since July 9 when they sprouted.
I am workin with unknown bag seeds.

I am waiting for enough growth to take cuttings to force clones in 12/12 photo Period

should I be Running my lights 18/6?

Will I get more growth by allowing night time?



Out of the Current 10 seedlings, 3 popped up and thru a
taproot out the bottom of the 1" cube in 24 hours.

24 hour lighting 95watts, I put the 3 Fast Movers right into 4" cubes.

I use a mix of Olivia's and 1/4 strength Nutes to water my seedlings.

thanks for any input!

peace,

Light cycles are a huge debate, you have people that are passionate about just about every difference. I like 18/6, not sure if you get more light than with 20/4 or 24/7 but it doesn't seem huge and it gives a temperature dip and also a humidity bump and is less expensive for electricity.

Are you doing hydro or are you going to be putting them in soil?

Well im running a DWC Buckets With a 400 hps. I use 18/6 as well. With my lgiht staying 3 feet away from my plant i am limited to space. So i force my plants over to 12/12 at about 5-7 weeks depending on the strain.

@ grow ro,
how many buckets under your 400?
how many plants per bucket?

i want to run a SOG,

I still Need to find a female worth keeping!

I have a similar setup as well.

4 3.5 gallon black buckets

4 Large air stones, some tubing and a big air pump.

I have covers cut for 4 3" net cups x4

I also have the single 6" snap on cover x4

I use 1" RW and 4" RW and Hydroton to start seedlings and clones.

peace,
DZ

You should look into a scrog instead of a sog man less plants and bigger overall buds because of it, Check out a guy on youtube called HygbroHybrid man I can post a link if you'd need but he's running a DWC set up two plants SCROG on a perpetual cycle.
