Whats the best light cycle for flowering?

If you can select a proper lighting plan, then you are likely to get the best yield. If you are growing the plants indoors, the best approach is to use the 18/6 or 24/0 light cycle in the vegetative stage. On average, you should leave the plant at this stage for two months, which is ideal for flowering.

Can you Flower with 14 hours of light?

You’ll need around 14 hours of light to make sure a lot of your plants’ PFR doesn’t convert to PR. Less than that and your plant may start flowering earlier than expected, but any more light than that won’t harm the plant.

Do buds grow in light or dark?

The Vegetative Stage of Cannabis Cannabis in the vegetative stage (when it is growing at a rapid pace) needs at least 13 hours of light per day. In fact, indoor growers commonly use an 18/6 light to dark ratio to encourage faster growth.

How close should light be to seedlings?

about 2 – 4 inches
Different plants have different light intensity needs, but most seedlings grown for the garden will need higher intensity light to flourish. In general, the leaves should be about 2 – 4 inches away from the light source (assuming use of a fluorescent bulb – see below).

How many hours of light do cannabis plants need to grow?

Cannabis plants need short days (or more specifically long nights) in order to start flowering and make buds. Most indoor growers give their plants 12 hours of darkness and 12 hours of light each day to initiate budding and continue with that 12/12 light schedule until it’s time to harvest.

Why is it important to have 12 hours of light?

While 12 hours complete darkness is very important for flowering, it is also very important to keep as close to 12 hours of light as well. Less photosynthesis = less metabolism = less yield.

When to start longer nights and longer nights for Pistils?

Because of the potentially reduced yields, it’s recommended to wait until the plant has been flowering for at least 8 weeks before you initiate longer nights. That gives buds enough time to fully form before the plant gets reduced light each day! What if buds keeps making more and more new pistils?
