Photoperiod interruptions in Veg

[lampost]

Hey all,

I know photoperiods need to be consistent during flowering, but what about veg?

My plants are on 18/6 and I had to move them briefly... so they experienced 2-3 hours of darkness in the middle of their 18-hour light period. Will this potentially cause any problems? They were actually clones that were just planted, so they're very young.

Can you do this in later stages of veg too? It seems like photoperiod isn't as important during veg, considering some people don't even give any darkness.

Cool, I never thought of it like that! Clones are pretty crazy when you think about it... so glad I don't have to weed out males and lose a few plants!

No.

Doesn't matter

Yes.

Veg is the default growth mode, so long as you don't provide unbroken, long nights the plants will continue to veg.
