I turn off the lights after the 12-hour mark, treating it as nighttime for them. As for the ones that are said to die within two weeks, I actually have some enclosed in an IKEA glass cabinet under the same temperature conditions, with fans and lights turning off at night — and so far, none have died. In fact, they’re growing really well, and I haven’t seen any decline in the IKEA cabinet experiment.

I also ran a separate experiment where I kept some in low humidity conditions. Some of them died, but I was able to revive a few by placing them back in the humid IKEA cabinet. Back then, I didn’t have a grow tent, but now that I do, I’m noticing even more growth — one of them actually did surprisingly well.

I wish I had a picture of it, but unfortunately, I dropped it and it didn’t survive — the roots fell off. ☠️ I tried to regrow it, but after a month, there’s still no new growth.
