ok i seeded my plant on the first of January its now 19 days old ive been reading alot of light guides im using my 6500 kalvin t5 grow light fixture on a 12/12 schedule i just want to know when is it time to switch from blue spectrums to red spectrums and what is the best schedule to keep my lights on?
You want the red spectrum during flowering. Which, if your lights are on 12/12 they are. If you want to veg your plants, put them on an 18/6 or 24/0 light schedule. Good luck.
Not sure, but Switch it to 18 immediately (after a few days switch to 24 if you'd like) if you want any hope of saving it. The light temperature (kelvin) of the light is much less important, just get in on 18/6 immediately.
ok 18/6 got it i thought i was doing pretty good cause its getting lush and the stem is getting thick but it wasnt getting any height
my bad if i missed it but how long have they been on 12 12 if its been twoo weeks and u see white hairs u could stress it into a hermie i think it might be less stress adding the orange lght to it now and finish flowering somebody correct me if im wrong still kinda new myself
but after u switch to 18/6 i would go 20/4 or wait a week till you switch to 24/0 if ur plaining on doing so but its look real good good luck
omfg thanks so much im stressin the F out here lol your msg just shined a light in my dark world so 18/6 for a week then 20/4 then after a few days of 20/4 switch to 24/0 till i see a pre flower?
u can check out my grow in indoor grow journals "was up gc first grow s.m and b.b " tell me what u think
you can always go back to veg stage as long as you change your lights to 18/6 but you are going to stress them out a lot and more stress = more males.
