Indoor Christmas time (CHEESE AUTO GROW)

[The Diamond Flush]

yeah, ive read about light cycles, I dont know... im not sure if giving them 4 hours would do anything or not. But if it would id do it.

A lot of people use both cycles, I don't think the difference will be easy to compare.

:204:https://www.autoflower.org/f42/photosynthesis-what-do-plants-do-night-11938.html?highlight=plants+night%3F

have a read through that...

also... I find they like to rest... think of the natural environment... very few places on the planet recieve 24 hours light...

I like :204: as that seems to have best yields and bud building for autos..

Yeah i'm in the :204: camp. For the same reasons as JM said, after 16hrs under my light and the plants start to droop a little. and after a 4hr rest they perk back up again. Great looking plants though. :thumbs:

alternatively, they dont mind :186: too much either

some people run them in :186: or :204: until they flower.. then swich them to their :1212: with their other photosensitive plants... this works ok too.. :gthumb:

I think i'm just going to stick with 24/0 they seem to enjoy it. But ive noticed a good ammount of pistil growth today. They are slowly but surely starting to fill in!

I'm gonna hurry and cut them to 20/4 today I just now getting all my little heads UP .

Guess ill switch to 20/4 then tonight, for the remainder of the grow.

I've always grown under 20/4 but this last round i decided to try 24/0 to see what happened if anything. It could be just me watching them so much but i think 24/0 seemed to take them longer to get bigger.Growth seemed slower for some reason with constant light compared to a 20/4 schedule and it definately didn't make them any bigger.going back to 20/4 for my new round of younguns.

Ive been reading alot about that actually. Im going to switch to 20/4 tonight, becuase I think the dark cycle actually helps them more than 24/0. Especially this strain theres not alot of info on it.

Ps: The only thing that sucks is Im growing them openly in my living room. They are just sitting under the t5 and the Cfl's next to my couch. So im wondering if alot of the light isnt being directed towards them. Maybe that created the slow growth. My next grow will be in a mini fridge so ill have a better way to control their environment. I don't have a timer so im just going to move them into the bathtub in the bathroom everynight at 11pm and i'll take them out at 3am. Im a night owl so its all good.
