Light Cycle
In natural conditions there would be a limit to how much light the cannabis plant could ab-
sorb. However, indoors the growing conditions can be optimized for maximum growth. To
achieve the maximum growth potential it is recommended to keep the lights on 18 hours out
of 24 in a consistent cycle.
It is also recommended to control the distance between the lights and the plant canopy. Place
the light source as close as you can from the cannabis plant without burning the plant. The
easiest way to test if your positioning is right is to hold your hand over the cannabis plant
for a couple of minutes. If you do feel a burning sensation, reposition the lights to a point
where it does not get uncomfortably warm.
