Lighting question.
    #1721 - 04/20/08 03:11 PM (16 years, 9 months ago)

I have 2 small plants (about 2 weeks old) growing in a closet with 4, 40 watt florescent bulbs.

What is a good lighting schedule for them in this early stage of growth?

I was told that the plants do a lot of their growing during the dark hours.

I was thinking about 14-18 hours of light per day and 6-8 hours of dark per day.

Or is it better to just let them have it for 24/7

Thats what I thought.

Is 18 hours of light too much now?

Would less than 18 hours be bad for them, say 12-14 hours per day.

Or do I need to stick to 18 hours.

Isn't 12 on and 12 off used for the fruiting stage of growth?

Looks like I may need to buy a light timer.
