Why You Need a Grow Light Timer When Growing Marijuana Plants
The age-old question — why do I need to change the grow light schedule when growing weed indoors?
For starters — grow light timers are the reason why you can grow cannabis indoors. Without a grow light timer, you would not be able to switch from the vegetative phase to the flowering stage.
Aside from making the indoor cultivation experience possible, here’s a list of associated benefits of using a grow light timer when growing weed indoors:
- Prevent hermies (hermaphrodites)
- Prevent stress
- Increase control
Remember, cannabis plants are photoperiodic. Therefore, you must use grow light timers to mimic the changing of the seasons to trick the cannabis plant to vegetate or flower.
When it comes to marijuana plants, two stages are essential for indoor cannabis cultivators:
- Vegetative phase
- Flowering phase
To achieve either of the stages mentioned above, you’ll need to adjust the timer to ensure your cannabis grow light system turns on and off at specific intervals. Here are the most common timing cycles that indoor cannabis cultivators depend on:
- Vegetative stage: 18/6 or 24/0
- Flowering stage: 12/12
