A low-iodine diet requires that you cut out dairy products and eat only a little meat, so itâs conducive to eating vegan. Hereâs a list of foods you CAN eat on a low-iodine diet: Small portions fresh chicken, turkey, beef, pork, veal. Homemade rice (not enriched or a packaged mix) Pasta (with no salt or eggs) 1-2 slices of bread/day (if total sodium content is less than 20 mg per serving)
Cycle the grow lights on and off appropriately. You cannot maximize plant growth by simply leaving the grow lights on 24 hours each day. In fact, this is a good way to stress and kill your houseplants. Instead, aim to leave grow lights on continuously for about 14 to 16 hours each day, which simulates spring sunlight. A good way to ensure that the grow lights are cycled on and off each day is to wire them to a timer. You can purchase a light timer at most home improvement stores.
To stay in the vegging phase requires a minimum of about 14 hours of continuous light to emulate the longer days of late spring and summer. Longer cycles will not harm your plants as they have no need of âsleepâ; thus many growers opt for a 24 hour light cycle. Others believe that marijuana need some âdown timeâ to catch up on other physiological processes and will run their lamps 18/6 or 18 hours on and 6 hours off. This also saves some electricity and allows night temperatures to drop, but will marginally slow growth.
