For growing autos I've had best success at 20 hours of light. 16 hours indoors doesnt even really meet indoor photoperiod veg standards. I found plants under 20 hour light cycles finished a touch faster with notable increase to yield. Plants on 24 light never got better than the 20 hour plants but suffered ailments at a higher frequency. They need lights off hours. I'd say ur best bet is change to 20 hours

16 is odd, we usually use 18/20 or 24... That is all

Grow Light for 3x3 tent Looking for a good grow light for a 3x3 flower tent. -Price is not an issue -Low heat since I am venting into my living area. -Even light distribution. I plan on doing a SCROG so having the same light intensity on the edges as the center would be best.

Turning lights off before harvesting I've seen some growers who turn the lights off a couple of days before harvest, and I don't know why. Are there any benefits to doing this? or concerns?

Auto and regular plants in one box.I got an auto plant in a box, waiting for flowering to start very soon. Light schedule 20/4. Now I planted a new photoperiodic seed in a same box. What should I do, keep the 20/4 light schedule before the auto plant finishes and after change to 18/6? Or change it right now?

LED light intensity So can anyone tell me from experience what are good light dimmer settings and height above seedlings for a SpiderFarmer SF7000? And for the other stages of life would be great. First time using LED's and don't want to fry my babies, I used to use MH and HPS lights.

About the 1200w light So I did already in fact order the 1200w led light for the 60x60x140 before asking for advise on it, which was stupid of me. Is it possible to use the light with the door open and fans to decrease hot points?
