Can i switch from 24/0 light cycle to a 18/6 cycle without harming the plant.

Dfoster228 · May 9, 2021

i am in week 2 of veg and i've been running my light cycle for 24/0. i've been reading and some people say that this is harmful for the plant in the long run with soil issues and some deficiency problems could steam from 24 hours of light. Can i switch to 18 hour light 6 hour dark cycle now without harming the plant???????

Do you have to? No
Should you? Absolutely....very carefully as the roots are fragile and may be intertwined.
Peace.

Yea, try to separate those plants to their own pot. Be careful of the existing root system when doing so. Maybe split the soil from the center out like a pie.

Rinse or gently spray as you slowly remove the plants...kind of cleaning the roots as you lift.
Will not harm them, immediately repot.
Good luck.

I'm sorry I didn't get back, these guys above have more experience than me,
But one pot one plant.

And yes 24 to 18/6 is fine.

Report back after. Expect to see some minor shock after transplant. Don’t freak out if they seem sad for a bit.
