Live Stoner Chat What are your light cycles?

[St. Tom]

18/6 electricity is expensive here i feel anything higher is a waste just my 2 cents and i feel all plants same in nature like a dark period

Autos are a C3 plant and do not require a dark period. That being said, with my Autocobs and quantum boards, I changed to 20/4. My old led lights that carried 3 and 5 watt diodes, ran 24/7. I very much liked the 24/7 schedule.

Would there be any drawbacks if I were to go from 18/6 to 24 at week 5?

Which light are you using?

The Mars Hydro TS 600. In hindsight, I don't think it'd be wise to start messing with the good thing that I have going. Maybe next run I'll try the 24.

I run 24/7, run around 9.5 watts a sq ft and have to say the last run was off the HOOK
