Are you looking for a lighting recipe that won’t let you down? One that delivers solid performance without you having to constantly readjust? Light Recipe 1 is just that: the safe recipe for any grower who wants consistent, high-quality harvests. This recipe is the perfect foundation for learning and mastering the art of growing.
The recipe in detail:
This recipe dispenses with extreme peaks and aggressive intensity peaks. Instead, it relies on a steady, moderate and predictable lighting plan.
- Vegetation phase: A long, stable “summer day” of 18 hours of light with a balanced mixture of blue and white light promotes vigorous, bushy growth with short internodal distances.
- Flowering phase: The gentle transition to 12 hours of light is accompanied by a slight increase in the red spectrum. The intensity is increased moderately and in a controlled manner to stimulate flower formation without putting the plants under stress.
- Sunrise/sunset: A built-in, gentle twilight effect helps the plants to process the day/night change naturally and reduces stress.
Recommended cannabis strains:
Robust, not too demanding photoperiod strains that have been bred for stability and reliability are suitable for this recipe.
- Blue Dream: A timeless classic! This hybrid is known for its resilience, vigorous growth and abundant yields. It reacts predictably and is forgiving of small mistakes.
- Northern Lights: The legend among beginner varieties. Extremely robust, compact in growth and resistant to many typical grower problems. Reliably produces resinous, relaxing buds under stable conditions.
- Critical Mass: As the name suggests, this strain produces massive, dense buds. It is uncomplicated to grow and stretches only moderately during flowering, which makes it perfect for a controlled, balanced approach.
Level of difficulty & maintenance:
- Experience level: Beginner-friendly. Perfect for beginners.
- Stretching: Moderate to low. The plants remain compact and controllable thanks to the balanced spectrum.
- Maintenance effort: Low. A “set-and-forget” approach. Water, fertilize occasionally and watch it grow. Perfect for those who don’t need any extra stress.
