I am a new grower and was wondering where i could find a good calender that i could use for my next grow. Something to tell me day by day what i should be doing. any help would be great thx
Ohhh this is an interesting question. Majority of people set the lights on a 18on/6off cycle for veg. When time is ready (another topic) they switch to 12on 12off. There is no calendar for growing indoors. Or some people just leave the lights on 24hours/day for 6-8 weeks than switch to 12on/12off. Do what what works for you. I susjust start seedlings off on 24 cycle for two weeks, than switch to an HID under a 18on/6off. Simple and works. ~~~~~ But if you want to get REALLY technical. Have 12hrs of light reduced evenly over the veg cycle. Example we have a 16 week cycle. 8weeks veg - 8weeks flower. 8weeks = 56days 12 hours to lose over a 56day peroid. 12/56 = 0.21428hrs 0.21428hrs x 60 = 12.85714mins So everyday you should lose about 12.8mins of light. Check: 12.857mins x 56days = 720mins 720mins/60mins = 12hrs *close nuff ^^
Wait...I Just read your post again... LoL...its not exactly clear and I was thinking light cycle only. Uhh...any indoor cultivation book will help
