New Grower Question about my light schedule

[Mellow Yellow]

Ok, now I have a couple of wee sprouts coming through my pro mix. I have my light set to kick on at 9:00 pm and shut off at 430 pm. That is basically 4 1/2 hrs of dark per day. Will this hurt to do this (expose them to a short light schedule) early in their lives?

I also have my exhaust to kick on at 9:00 am and shut off at 4:00 pm.

This is really to assist with further stealth of my grow and to keep noise to a minimum when people are around during peak hours around my house. 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

I would prefer to wait until they sex to change from 24/0 to 19 1/2 hours of light but I am trying to keep down the humming that seems to always occur.

I still have my heater in case of cold nights, but they are nearly over I hope.

Sure, they will be fine. In fact, your post reminded me I need to change my timer back to 24/0 for the seeds I've got popping right now. I run it that way for the first week or so, then cut it back to 20/4.

LOL, you're the king of stealth in my book. Good to see you here, been too long.

Good luck with your first indoor grow.
