    Default How many lights on veg??

    Hi guys little input would be great on this do I put the same amount on lights on in the veg stage as I would if I was flowering? People have told me you don’t need as many lights on when in veg.

    Thank

    Thank
    AS little light as you want. I have this clone under A 23Watt CFL, grows just fine, A little slower and doesn't stretch as much when under lower light.

    I use 3 600w lights when flowering, my last grow didn’t go so well and was wondering if it’s because they didn’t get enough light in the veg stage as only had one light on.

    600W you say, was that true watts. You can grow it as long as you want under low light, then put it under high light, and veg as long as you want then flip when ever you want, never seen A problem. I veg this one under 222W LED for 22 veg days before flipping her at 8", she is now 33" at day 16 of 12-12 flip, with 5 more stretch days to go. Quad already. Growing under 822 Watts.

    I use 400w MH in veg and 630w CMH in flower...more light...more growth & more important in autos as limited timescale...photos you can veg for as long as needed so not as important

    Why burn high lights, when low lights will do this in veg?

    Thanks guy for the input looks like I’m doing ok then with a single 600w light on my baby’s while there in veg. They have only just gone in to there pots from cuttings so I’ll give them a week with the light up high then bring the light down low on them.

    600W is good, will grow faster and stretch more, and want be able to get it too close at early stage. Here is my 23WCFL, and she is growing out, but not up so much. Get the difference?



    I prefer to use my 222W LED when doing Veg, but she is tied up at the movement, so reason I have her in this little box.
