i got a question

im growing indoors and i was wondering is the difference between veging and flowering the lighting or the time that the lights are on and off

Basically its the time the lights are on/off, ie 24/7-18/6-12/12. The more light, the more veg , less light starts flower. Lighting color just mimics mother nature. blue for veg , red for flower.

flowering requires 12 hours of light and 12 of dark(12/12). vegging can be any amount of light over 14 hours although usually u need 18(thats in every 24 hour period) sum people veg in constant light(24/0) although others say its not good for the plants. ive tried both ways and all i'll say is more light gave me faster growth.

cool thank u guys

Don't forget the color temps of the lights are very important. Mh, cool white cfls, color 6500k= vegging mimicking summer. and hps, soft white cfls color 3700k= flowering mimicking fall. 18/6 for vegging and 12/12 for flowering. 24/0 is okay too, but the problem with 24/0 is that the roots do not develope as well as the canopy, which can lead to falling plants during flowering from the weight of the buds. I personally have never seen it while vegging my plants under 24/0, but have witnessed it with a buddies grow. Since then I have stuck with 18/6 for vegg.... Happy growing FAM....
