Great day to ya Hacks. Hope your long weekend is groovin bud. Couple things about lights and timing and stuff. I have found out a couple things over the yrs. First , i like to run my lights and system while i am home, so they come on at 4 and run 16 on and 8 off. That way i feel good knowing when i'm at work all day the system is off. A few benefits are cheaper hydro rates during the night. feel safer when i'm not home and at work. Temps are easier to manage cuz of the cooler nights. Better for stealth set ups ....etc. Also , was wondering why u think those 'on off' hrs. you chose. 16/8 is optimal for Veg, as 18/6 makes NO visible difference in growth habbits , but burns a lot more electricity...so why bother with 18 or 17 hrs?
Hope this has helped you make up your mind with a couple things bud! Enjoy the day!
.... Great weekend to you man, and green days... I was really just kinda testing, the home way is not the commercial way, and as i am really a noob at the home indoor grow, I am working at a pro job and am good at that.... they do the 18/6 on a 39 hour day cycle for vegging with alternating time changes that make some days extremely longer than others, I am just really trying to figure out the good math for my much much smaller home indoor.... Home cycles are almost always set up on 24 hour cycles therefore I was just trying to get on the same page as the community people here but using clones from there..... I was telling people here earlier in the week that I really love the access to the pro grow atmosphere, but there is no love there along with other feelings that go along with being proud of a couple of zips of great buds... Everything at my pro job grow is computerized and ready made so of course they have an absolute shit ton of great buds come harvest, which happens every 10 days also when I am working there.... Along with new add on growing area makes a growing area so huge it is almost numbing..... IDK man I love my job, but really dont wanna bring my job home, just want a regular grow atmosphere... I can have for free alot of buds, but wish I wasnt just the money/computer guy there.... It really is not what I expected it would be... Kinda like you first threesome, super cool, but it gets old on an everyday basis.... You my friend are an extremely good grower, and very well respected by me at least, but I am really just overwhelmed by the pro's growing extremes... It definately works for mass production, but everything is just too perfect.. IDK if I am makin much sense, but just my mindset for the day on that JOB... I never really considered growing as a job.... Yesterday alone we ran about 30 pounds through the trimmer in three hours, and have many more strains to do this week.... Kinda hard to explain, but we do major harvest, and weekly harvest, as we can never keep up with almost 125000 square feet of grow area... Pm me man, maybe soon we can be on a personal connection... Green days all..
