Indoor white haze automatic and lightning duration

[basakanna]

hi all folks, I've just started (10 days in vegetative) a new cycle, first one ever for me with automatic.

in brief the setup is: white haze from sensiseeds, soil, indoor groowing with 400 W MH superblue, cool tube, 3.5 Gallons pots.

Currently I' on 24/0..... but not sure that works fine with autoflowering. any valuable opinion???

thanks in advance....

hey kanna.

you can find people running autos at 18/6 -- 20/4 -- or what you have 24/0.

im currently running 18/6 (its what the breeders recommended + it saves me on my cheap electricity.)

Most people find 18/6 works best but its your call mate i personaly prefer 18/6 but i do on the occation do 20/4 and not realy any differance

I've always went 20/4 & it's server me well. I believe, that the 18/6 will produce a more trich covered plant where as a 20/4 plant will have slightly more weight.

I will be watching your grow the lighting is what interest me the most. I am amazed at LED results and pissed I bought 1000hps. Had I known I would have tried LED and am planning to follow the leader and get me a few pannels.

Hey kanna, I use 24/0 of lights during the first couple weeks of life, then as they start showing pistils,, I switch them to 18/6. Good luck with your decision and on your grow.

Thanks a lot folks, actually I asked as I started seeing something I think It's plant stress.... or maybe temperature.... don't know, it might even be... low humidity...
The issue is that i'm using a cool tube, so my aspirator is always on to keep the tube cold.... and I guess, it's sucking all the humidity out of my grow room, beside that my temp tend to be quite on the high side... 28 C to 30 C max.

The leafs are curling... but not as when the plant gets too dry or too wet (where the leafs gets curly .. let's say 90 degrees angled respect to their lenght...they bend their tips) it's the leaf borders that bent upward.... like if the leaf tries to close.

Sadly I'm on a business trip and the wife is taking care of my plants.... SCARYYYYYYYYY !!!

So I'm here knowing my babes are in trouble but cannot do much...

I'll see if i can get a decent picture form home and post it here for good advises from you guys, experienced growers.... in the meantime... whichever suggestion is moooooore than welcome!!!!!

Damn kanna, thats sucks, your ladies are in need of you and you cant get to them. Hopefully I can sprinkle some green kharma on them for you. Good Luck
