Can I keep my grow light on 24 7?
A: In general, you should not leave grow lights on 24/7. Plants need a light-dark cycle to develop properly. It’s believed that they truly do “rest” during periods of darkness, and probably use this time to move nutrients into their extremities while taking a break from growing.
When should I change my lights to 12 12?
Height of plant: Depending on the strain, plants will generally double in size during flowering. So, if ‘room’ height is limited, the switch to 12/12 will need to be done no later than when the plant has reached 50% of the ‘available’ height (remember to consider the minimum gap distance between lamp and foliage).
Does 24 hour light hurt plants?
The answer to the question is no, it is not recommended to leave your grow light 24 hours a day, because this will force plants to grow quickly. It is ideal to keep a grow light on for about 12 to 18 hours. Too much light in various growth phases can interrupt a weed plant’s natural process of growth and dormancy.
Do plants need total darkness at night?
Plants, shrubs and trees use sunlight for photosynthesis during the daytime, but at night they need darkness to regenerate a key compound – phytochrome. Nighttime lighting can reduce vegetation’s ability to properly create this compound.
How big should Veg be before flowering?
Growers can switch to the flowering stage as soon as the clone has established a solid root system. In optimal conditions, plants should be kept in their vegetative stage for approximately 60 days. This time period should give the plant the opportunity to maximise yield and acclimatise to growing conditions.
What happens if you give a plant 24 hours of light?
A Word on Intensity Try increasing the intensity of the light the plant receives or start providing light 24 hours a day. Plants that receive too much light turn yellow in color and may eventually be covered in patches of dead, burnt tissue.
Can you veg a plant too long?
To give your plants ample photo-fuel, make sure you’re using the right light spectrum for the respective stage of development. Photoperiod cannabis plants kept in the vegetative stage will continue to grow. So if you veg them for too long and don’t control it, they will grow very large and unwieldy.
Do you trim fan leaves during veg?
Here’s what to look for when planning to remove fan leaves during veg: Leaves at the bottom of the plant that receives little light can be pruned. Fan leaves that create shadows over budding sites should be pruned to increase light penetration throughout the canopy, rather than just the tops.
Can LED burn plants?
Light, even intense light, probably won’t burn your plants. If a plant is getting too much light, it can challenge your crops and be counterproductive, but it won’t actually cause burning.

What is the vegetation index of low vegetation?
Regions where few plants grow have a low vegetation index, shown in tan. The index is based on measurements taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ( MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite. Areas where the satellite did not collect data are gray.
What is the index of greenness of vegetation?
On these maps, vegetation is pictured as a scale, or index, of greenness. Greenness is based on several factors: the number and type of plants, how leafy they are, and how healthy they are. In places where foliage is dense and plants are growing quickly, the index is high, represented in dark green.
