No problem your welcome just figured it could explain the rest period and what it does better then I could. 20/4 isn’t bad least they do get some rest but from what I’ve heard 18/6 is better for terpenes so I’ve just stuck with it. No need to take a week to adjust lights especially for a couple hours. Hell I changed the photo girls 6 hrs over night
| I am going back to 18/6 that has proven to me to be the best indoor schedule. |
| Not a problem but don't go less than 11 hours of light as they may decide to ripen before getting fatter. |
| I have now grown autos on |
| 8/4 Stress and Hermies, small plants and low yield. |
| 11/13 Autos that were not autos, this fixed it |
| 12/12 Autos with Photoperiod plants, I have plenty of DLI so not a problem. |
| 18/6 This is the sweet spot for yield and quality. |
| 24/0 Stressed plants, lower terps cost way more to run lights but finished about 10 days faster still cost more for energy. Overall Quality was lower. |
| 20/4 Slightly better yield but Terps seem lower, cost more to run lights, about the same time to grow to harvest as 18/6. |
| The most consistent best crops come from the 18/6 and that is what I will be growing with in the future. |
I am pretty sure there’s still a rhizosphere and microbes with most all hydro setups that is in a substrate DWC may be a different story
Trying to make it work well with just the root riot and dangly roots this grow.
Ran a couple Skywalker x FS similarily, I definitely stressed them. They had lovely roots though.
Prof. Bugbee mentioned that in one of his videos, about the active micro-biome in coco grows.I am pretty sure there’s still a rhizosphere and microbes with most all hydro setups that is in a substrate DWC may be a different story
