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.
Because of the small size of my cabinet, I choose to grow more plants and veg for shorter times. I often veg for the minimum which is right around 4 weeks. Then another 8 or so weeks for flowering (I grow indica because they're usually shorter). There is a method called 12/12 from seed. You run your lights 12 hours a day from seed. Plants will only begin to flower when they have matured enough essentially. You are usually dealing with 21-30 or 35 days of veg growth and 8 weeks of flowering. By doing your growing this way, you are able to always run your lights at 12 hours a day.
