Thread: Whats the Best LIGHT CYCLE???

um..i am debating on wether or not to keep my seedlings under 24 hrs of light. I am not sure which is better 24 hrs or 18 on and 6 off etc..Can someone let me know which one they think works best to achieve fastest growth? THanx!!

I'd have to say....... um, 18/6 veg. 12/12 flower.It won't hurt the seedling to have 24 hours.You need to keep the light as close as you can so they won't stretch.

Ga Grown!

With my plant I went from 24-0 to 18-6 to 12-12

by stretch do u mean like the first set of leaves are realy big and wide? bc thats what they did, is this a really bad thing or can it be lived with?

bigger the leaves the better and 18/6 is the best cycle

how close should thep lants be from a 400w MH light...> i have them about 3 inches under is this good?

Check out light height post in FAQ section.

How do I determine light distance from plants.
Heres the link

cookie, if you are going to copy paste your question into multiple threads unrelated to your query, at least make it make sense..

I have read on this very board that some have had success with 13/11 as opposed to 12/12 for flower.

You need to keep the light as close as you can so they won't stretch.

Tell that to the sun.

18/6 perfect
