    Default Veg light period question.

    Right now I'm vegging 18/6. But I would like to switch to 24. How will this affect my plant?

    by useing the light 24/7 it stops the plant stretching, by useing a MH instead of HPS for vegging this creates even more internodes and keeps them nice n tight, once you flick over to 12/12 its best to keep a little MH on for the first 2 weeks to stop the aggresive stretch while pre flowering, once you see plenty of hairs then replace the MH with a Dual spec HPS for the rest of the 12/12 period and this should help you keep the plants shorter yet gain more bud at the end,
    cheers

    FWIW, I switched from 18/6 to 24/0 because I was concerned about temp dropping too much. Just one plant and she started chucking out single bladed leaves. Apart from that, no sign that she didn't like it but I didn't keep her on it for long and she didn't seem to mind being switched back either.
