I had a bulb go out and I used it as an opportunity to upgrade my lighting from 400w to 600w. With the 400w, I use a 18/6 veg light cycle; equating to 7200w being emitted during the time the lights are on. Plant has been vegging for 4.5 weeks. What I’m wanting to know is if it would be advisable for me to run the 600w on a 16/8 instead of 18/6 considering that the total amount of light being used is around 9600w on the shorter light cycle? Any negative impacts regarding growth and/or stress?
Maybe I’m comparing apples to oranges but logic is telling me that although the light period would be shorter, my plant will still receive “more” lighting due to the increased light intensity of the 600w. Any feedback is welcomed. Thanks!
