Quick question about lighting rep^

[JN811]

is it important that my lighting schedule is consistant? I am vegitating right now and have had diffrent time periods when the lights have been off, only by an hour or two. Will this effect the plants growth? Btw I have also had diffrent schedules some day they get 4 hrs of dark some days they get no dark.. is that bad? they always get at least 18hrs of light.

This will stress your plant out. It is crucial that the light schedule is consistent.

guess i should invest in a timer then, huh?

Yeh man, you're plants won't even grow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's very critical that your plants remain on a VERY PRECISE light/night schedule. Get a timer!

 

[Supgee3]

Yeah man, a timer is definitely something you need.

You got to be careful. Try to stay consistant.

There's another advantage to 24/7 - no timer needed.

How do you get your plants to flower and bud if you don't give them a dark period? Is this just for auto flower strains?

Please explain this if you have some time. . . I'm confused.
