Says it does a flower at 5x5 so for best results I'd grab a second if you can afford it! Remember watts = yield! Get the max you can! Happy growing!

Short plants in flowering Flowering started but the plants still seem a bit short. Maybe too much or too close light? Or something else? Tried avoiding light off because its hard controlling the rise of humidity.

OK to switch from 12/12 to 18/6 for auto in flower?Is it OK to switch an auto from 12/12 to 18/6 when in flower (2 weeks)? I moved the plants from the attic which was way too hot and tried the 12/12 schedule to reduce the heat. Now that they are in an AC spare room wondering if it would be worth switching. Appreciate the support!

Light distance and power with a 205W Sanlight LED Sanlight told me I should use it dimmed at 80% and 45cm when in flowering. I was aiming to reach lower buds so I put it at 100% and 50cm from the upper buds. The tips of the leaves are slightly burned but no bud bleaching yet like my last run (at 100% 45cm). What's best ? Thx !

Can you use a 450 watt white led light to start seedlings? If so what distance should the light be and when should I make it closer? The reason I am asking this is because I don’t like transplanting autos as they are fragile to transplanting from what I’ve looked up

LUX meter grow question Can someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them. My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light already

How to switch to flowering It's been about 5 weeks from germination. I think we're ready to switch to flowering. I'm just not certain on how to go about it. Do I gradually reduce 18/6 of the veg light down to 12/12 (over a week?) then pop in the flower bulb? Or do I just make a hard switch?
