Hi im new to this forum, thank god for internet. Im also new @ gardening, so i need some advise along the way im probably older than most of you but ill always have open ears. Now to the question, I have a 6in clone that was given to me which was in bad need of transplanting,which was done. It was in a clear plastic cup w/ mirical grow@ trans to a larger bucket. Im using 400w mh and w/a fan running as the time calls for power which has very good ventilation, 16hrs on @ 8hrs off. Can i run the light @ fan 24/7?




Thanks for adv

yes, you can run 24/0 but mh lights produce alot of heat. also i would toss in one or two 40w coolwhite cfl's. they're cheap and produce almost no heat.
my setup has six cfl's and a 2 tube fixture with lights/fan on 24/7.

If your vegging the clone, you want to give it 18 hours of light, and 6 hours of complete darkness a day. 24/0 is ok, but the 6 hour rest is better for the plants.

You dont really want clear pots, you want opaque ones, and mirical grow is something cannabis growers always steer well clear off. Stop using MG. It's not made for resin producing plants, and weed is just that.
