New to the forum, hi everyone.
So I have a grow with a cap ebb and grow 20 buckets with 3000 watts HPS/MH mix plus 6 twin tube flouresent shop lights thrown in to the mix. Currently vegging some blue dream and purple diesel ready to go up to my NFT system where I have OG kush in their 5th week of flower ( smelling good )
My question is.
Is there any reason I can't veg my plants 12 hrs under the HPS/MH lighting then have them do 12 hrs of flouresent so that they stay in veg. ( I typically do 24 hr for veg)
The reasoning behind this is to do with heat problems, if I can go to cooler light during the heat of the day and hit them with the big stuff on the night I feel I could regulate my room temp easier without having to fire up the portable AC and fans, etc.
This is my first year growing so still learning, but I read all the time that even having one light on in the room (other than green of course) the plants will stay in veg or even revert to veg from flower.
I guess the main concern would be if the plants could handle the change of light spectrum.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
