5 months agoAsk a Grow Question I have a question about lighting. I’m running my lights at 14hrs to keep electricity costs down. I’m wondering, is that enough hours to prevent a photo period from flowering? I know some plants are sensitive and will trigger with 13 hours others need that 12. At 16 hrs none will trigger. Is 14hrs okay or should i bump it up to 15 hrs? Thoughts? 🙏
I really want to keep that UG (End game x Grandpa’s Stash) as a mother plant for a bit and take a few clones. I’m super limited on space so i have to plan everything so meticulously.

Gas Lamp veg is an option in this scenario. Also known as 12/1 lighting. Just my .02¢

Go to 16 hours of light and you’ll be fine because some plants will flower with 10 hours of darkness.

yeah, that’s what my worry was. the plants thinking “oh shit the days are shorter, I should start getting ready to bloom” I didn’t want to, but I think 16 might be my safest bet. I’ll give 15 a shot because I really have nowhere to go with my lights and I’m already at 45 DLI @ 14hrs of light. Going to 16 will really screw me up. I would have to dim and that’s not ideal.

Less than 15-1/2 will generally cause flowering
