New Grower Roleadro COB--Rookie

[rick-j]

Day- 9-- Had a cold front move in last night, temp's at 71f -- RH at 40%--- GSC- 2"---- Forest Fruit- 13/4" tall-- I left the top of the tent zipped up this morning. The girl's are growing like weed's-------Everything look's good! When do I switch my light's to 18/6 from 24hr's?

You deff don't have to switch the lights. Last grow I did 24 hours of light throughout the entire grow. And am doing the same for my current grow.

Why do you plan on switching to 18/6? Costs? Also have you considered 20/4. I have read that, people seem to get better results with a 20/4 cycle than a 18/6. Should be fine either way though.

Just popped into the post on the best light cycles for autoflowers her at AFN. You should deff check it out if you haven't yet. Tons of good stuff. https://www.autoflower.org/threads/whats-the-best-lighting-cycle-for-autos-24-0-20-4-or-18-6.3691/

Day 10-- look's pretty good. The Forest Fruit babie has been drooping since last night, not worried yet. Thank's for the info TOM---- The majority of people using 18/ 6 have grown just fine. I switched from 24hr's to 18/6 at 20 day's from sprout last harvest, I think that might be ok?What do you think @archie gemmill ? i'm planning to transplant to 5 gal. smart pot's with happy frog soil, at 2 wk's of solo cup, switch light's to 18/6 and move to big tent under the COB's. I should have 2 wk's of nute's in new soil. Iv'e added some t-5's HO light to the big tent---going to have some fun--

Can change light schedule on autos without any harm,well maybe if ya do it 5times in 10 days ot might complain. In theory 24/0 is best........but is it 1/4 better than 18/6 ? Some strains complain a lil with 24/0 im odd i run 19/5 just for fun.
Keep er lit

Can"t grow without it, that little book say's that I can grow MED'S legally in this state!!!!!!!! I moved a long way's for this. First time in 65 year's-----That's one of the reason's I get so excited, the other reason, i'm just plain gooffy.
