When the light is off it is just a good idea to not water unless your plants seriously look starved.

If you go more then 4 hours in the dark you may want to have one may too feedings. They do still drink in the dark period. No feeding and you are forcing them to move nutrients, & minerals around in the dark and that is fine for about 4 hours but more then that and they don't just move it around they use it up and if you want to grow larger buds then don't make them use up the stored nutrients until the end of the cycle. Give them a chance to use them to get big instead of just surviving.
Zandor Reviewed by Zandor on . feeding question zandor??? ok i was feeding my beans 5 times a day in veg only during the 18 hours the light was on.. they were going 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm... i dont know why i never fed them during the 6 hours off but i never have.. so my question is now that im doin 12/12 i can only have it on like 4 times while the light is on.. should i feed them every 4 hours still with the light off? now too or what? how often should i feed them anyway.. right now im usin every 4 hours while the lights are on for 20 minutes Rating: 5
