Скачать или смотреть Using your Phototron Step 10: Switching to the Vegetative Cycle

Okay, here it is. Day 21 after you have transplanted your plants. It is now time for your plants to switch into the Vegetative Cycle. The Vegetative Cycle will last from day 21 after transplant until day 45. During the Vegetative Cycle, your plants will begin to stretch out and fill in their available space. However, there are a few changes we need to make as we now enter this cycle. These mainly include the light cycle and the watering.

To make the switch to the Vegetative Cycle, do the following:

• The first thing you want to change is the light cycle. Up to now, your Phototron's™ lights have been on for 24 hours a day. To enter the Vegetative Cycle, you will now need to set your Phototron™ to stay ON for only 16 hours and OFF for 8 hours. This light change tells the plant that it is now time to go into serious growth mode. To accomplish this light change automatically, we highly recommend that you purchase a 24 hour programmable timer.
(PLEASE NOTE: These timers are available in our ACCESSORY CATALOG.)

• The second thing you will be changing is the water. Now that you have entered into the Vegetative Cycle, it is now
time up the nutrient level and switch to the 1/16 FEED to water your plants.

• The third thing you will be changing is the amount of water added to your plants. From day 21 to day 30 after transplant, you will be watering your plants with ONE AND A HALF QUARTS of the 1/16 FEED. And on day 31 to 45, you will be watering your plants with TWO QUARTS of the 1/16 FEED.
