Question about 12/12

[DJCX12]

Well, when plants are vegging they will use all the light you give them. This means you give a plant 24/0 lights they are constantly photosynthesizing or growing. If just give them 18 hours light then they get 6 hours of darkness during this darkness they are using all that glucose or......sugar to grow. So to answer your question, I don't know. I mean does having a dark period increase the usage of the glucose, and therefore making the plant grow even during the dark....

ok here's a nother good question, I am only growing with CFL and I am using 1 light right now for my 5 plants (have pics) would they grow faster if I give them more light?

Of course.....I mean think about it man

The more lights the better, especially with cfl's. Just make sure you got prober ventilation....more lights more heat.

if you do that you increase the chance of ya plants turning herm.

CFLs don't give of much heat, my room is still the same temp and I have had it on 24/0

Yes, but didn't you say you only have one cfl? When you get more they will cause more heat, of course right. But also, besides the heat from lights, you need some fans because fresh air is a must with weed.

I just touched my CFL and its been on for 1 month stright and it's not even remotly hot

Well one whats not even remotely hot to you, is probably really hot to a young small plant.When you have a lot of cfl's, which in order to grow weed with cfl's you need a lot of them, and you have them in your grow room the temp will get up there. And if it gets above 90 F your plants will be beyond fucked. And the other reason......fresh air....no mold etc

here is a test: that same light bulb you touched.....let the plant "touch" it and see what happens. report back here with the results
lol see if it doesn't burn the hell out of your plant

You have a cfl bulb touching a weed plant.....it's burning right now. If you say its not then you are lieing and wasting my time.

[*Kush*]

Are the plants even growing?

 

[DJCX12]

Are the plants even growing?

oh yea there growing, I have 6 new branch shoots on each plant and its growen fast that the branches are still green

 

[*Kush*]

Well, sorry to say they won't be for long. You need more lights.

 

[DJCX12]

yea and I have to trans plant them to

 

[*Kush*]

I got three little ones under two 27watt 5500K and one big ass fan. One of my plants is like twirling its weird. Like the leaves are twisting around the plant and kinda tight.....any one have ideas some kinda deficiency..

would a 36w CFL (125w imatation) (I don't know the K thought) work with my 10w (50w imatation) (I dk the K) ???

 

[*Kush*]

I don't get it....there light bulbs they don't know that there are other light bulbs around...

You should find out the K or Kelvin or color temperature of your bulbs. It's very important. Here is a Kelvin Color Temperatures
Its about color temperatures

for vegging you want a higher color temperature becuase summer is hotter bla bla. for flowering a lower color temp bulb those will have a more hazier glow than the higher color temperature bulbs which are whiter

 

[DJCX12]

I don't get it....there light bulbs they don't know that there are other light bulbs around...

I was wondering if I could use both the 10w and 36w when I get it

 

[DJCX12]

Now I have a fan blowing air on them

 

[*Kush*]

Yes, you can use bulbs of different wattage at the same time. And the plants will appreciate the fan, it'll make them stronger(thicker)too.
