Differing plant schedule 8/4 twice a day

[Jordann]

Im about to set up a veg closet split in half, one side 8 plants on the 18/6. And on the other side 8 plants with the 8/4+8/4 light schedule. Will the 8/4 schedule stress the plants or what, will all be seeds of the same strain. Just thought about sticking 2 days in one. All thoughts welcome. Won't let me post pics at the moment but pics coming....

Managed to upload pics just had to crop them to make them small enough to upload. 3rd pic- 4x4x80 tent with my philzion 1600, philzion 1200, and 100 watt high white light

What are you trying to achieve by doing 8/4 twice a day? It takes time for a plant that has been in darkness to get the photosynthetic process up and running again. If you want the max growth rate I believe 18/6 is better.

Just something I've been tossing around in my head for a while, but I'm currently on 18.6 for my tent this grow. I started 20 plants at 12/12 until they showed me their balls and hairs and luckily enough I ended up with 8 girls(4 per person in Canada) I see people talking about growing at 24/0 but I tried that as and ignorant 14 year old and they drew slowly, they need their sleep eh.

Need their sleep - your hands are going to be very busy very soon - cuz your tent will be overflowing - soon.

Looks great eh?

Oh - and it's 4 plants per household not per person.

I think it would not be productive. The plant takes time to go to sleep and to wake up, splitting the time into 2 days would double that time.

 

[SirSmksAlot]

Yes 4 plants per household. But who's gonna know lol

 

[Canuck147]

They'll only know if you register your household - which I'm not planning on doing.

 

[SirSmksAlot]

Neither am I. Is that the only way to technically grow legally? I'm so unclear on the actual rules.

 

[Canuck147]

Nope - one can grow x number of plants FOR a person that has a medical license, depending on how many grams per day the person is prescribed.

 

[Canuck147]

Either way your opening your door for the law enforcement types. Cuz they get to inspect your household before you can grow medicinally.

 

[SirSmksAlot]

Ya that's what I figured. I'll just keep on keepin on the way I have been.

Thanks everyone for the input. Yes it will be overflowing going to switch to 12 very soon but still going to be tight, I've had it tighter. I like a challenge. Yes here in Canada it's 4 per person per household. And even if I had 10 or 20 is that really of concern to the police when only me and my other roommate know about it and people are growing it by the tonne I just started 80 seeds. With summer coming I have another large room to fill for the summer season. And already have 10 waiting to go in when these 8 are finished.
