light cycle
    #5938302 - 08/06/06 08:39 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

when doing a stealth grow, would anyone advise using christmas lights for 9/24 hours? i know you can grow with indirect weak, but doesnt red light not trigger pinning or something? and the longer the night cycle the larger they fruit but longer it takes, correct (assuming everything else is optimal)? my knowledge is a little but rusty.

why would you want to do that? Just use one of them cheapo push lights from walmart. Or use a compact flourescent light..

thought you can do it with christmas lights on a short cycle as indirect? but the reason for that is so it wouldnt be detectable. a glow from under the closet is suspicous. i was thinking put a bunch of christmas lights, as long as they get the right light...

I use a plastic casing flourescent Ecolux grow light. I've read that light can help trigger pinning with Cubensis. I don't know about the validity of that statement.

Light does however give the mushies a direction to grow towards, leaving you with some nice well propoertioned and straight stems. No limping.

6/6/6/6 (on/off/on/off) is my cycle.

i dont know about light triggering the pinning or anything but i think christmas lights would do great as a light source if you dont have a flouro and dont want to buy one
