18hrs Vegetative Growth
For seedling and vegetative growth we recommend a light cycle of 18/6. This means the lights are on for 18 hrs and off for 6hrs. This light cycle will suit the vegetative cycle of most plants. When growing plants using an artificial light source you are able to control, to some extent, the overall size your plants will grow.
12 hrs Flowering/Fruiting By decreasing the light cycle to 12/12 (12 hrs on and 12 hrs off) you can switch your plants into the flowering stage. This will usually take around 8-10 weeks depending on the plant you are growing.
