24 hrs wont hurt it some say it is actually better for it to have 24 hrs for a couple weeks but its all up to you. maybe do like a week or two of it then switch to 18/6 or 20/4 until you are ready to go into flowering..and with cfls adjust your plants or plant everyday so each part gets some light.

thanks johnson, i dont plan on keeping the same set up it was more to just get practice for when i get some good seeds i will adjust my equipment as the plant needs it (i see myself getting more lights for equal coverage) etc.

Wtf that's what most strive for yes I was correcting the person who obviously has no clue saying they would wilt and die off 2700 alone.

D ormant is like asleep and you don't have to have both not by any means, hell for veg you don't even honestly need much light at all, I have 2 pepper plants that are both about a foot tall grown under a fucking 14 watt cfl in my kitchen and they grow a half inch a day on one forgot to mention soft white or 2700k spectrum bulb only. They are green as fuck and healthy as a matter of fact even showing there floweres now. Moral is veg needs little light of either spectrum, 6500k tends to help keep plants shorter and bushier, while 2700k tends to make plants lanky with farther distance between nodes.

The reason u gotta use more 6500ks during veg is because they simulate the intense sunlight of the summer. During flower u use more 2700s because those are soft white and they simulate the softer sun of the fall. Its simple biology. And yes, since 2009 I havent stopped growing.

Dude stumilate the intence sunlight wtf dude you sure you grow cause how you gonna stimulate the sun lol with any amount of cfls haha. And that would also mean your outside if your trying to stimulate sunlight dummy.

Op the reasoning in changing spectrums is cause your trying to mimik natural sunlight and the color of our natural light changes during the year from bluish 6500k to more red yellow 2700k. Daylight bulbs (6500k) and soft white bulbs (2700k)

Ca$hcropper all u keep doing is verifying what I keep saying. Wtf? Just agree wit me stop trying to put ppl down. This is a friendly forum and assholes like u start drama and ruin it for everybody. and btw, I wasnt "begging". Im more than willing to pay for some good clones. And I do all the time.
