What’s the best light schedule for growing feminized Purple Haze?Updated 11 minutes ago
Feminized Purple Haze is a photoperiod strain, which means it depends on changes in light exposure to switch from the vegetative stage to the flowering stage. Here's how to manage your light cycle for the best results:
🌱 Vegetative Stage
Light Schedule: 18 hours of light / 6 hours of darkness (18/6)
Duration: Most growers veg Purple Haze for 4–8 weeks, depending on space and training goals.
Tips:
Keep lights strong and consistent — full-spectrum LEDs or HPS work great.
Maintain temperatures between 70–85°F (20–30°C) with good airflow.
🌸 Flowering Stage
When to switch: Once your plants are the size you want (keeping in mind they’ll stretch), switch the cycle to induce flowering.
Light Schedule: 12 hours of light / 12 hours of darkness (12/12)
Critical: Make sure the dark period is completely uninterrupted — even small light leaks can cause stress or delay flowering.
🔄 General Tips for Purple Haze
This strain can stretch during flower — plan for vertical space.
Training techniques like LST or topping during veg can improve yield and shape.
Expect a flowering time of around 9–10 weeks once the cycle is switched.
