Reality said:hey guys just a quick question.. under a 400w light, how long do people usually let there plants veg before switching to 12/12?
The best rule of thumb that I can offer is this...The plant has to be able to handle being put into flower mode. The shock of going from whatever your vegging light was to 12/12 is pretty brutal. Also you have to make sure the plant is just plain ole happy. If its not growing vigerously in veg than it aint gonna grow very well in flower. I know that the strain I like to grow is recommended to veg to a height of 10-12". Probably keeping in mind that doesnt mean a stretched out spindly 12" but a healthy, bushy 12. Just take your time and introduce it to the new light gradually. Set it in the new enviroment at 18/6 and if you run a high pressure sodium, keep the light kinda high for the first week or so. Light diminishes exponetially @ 12" increments. So consequently, if you have it close you run the chance of burning the tender leaves. So when first getting them used to the new light keep em cool and a long way from the bulb...20" in some casesReality said:hey guys just a quick question.. under a 400w light, how long do people usually let there plants veg before switching to 12/12?
