How many are there? And for now have lots of light. Looks like have 6-8 so your 600 will work best.

How do I swap my lighting schedule?
So I’ve got my lights on a 18:6 schedule but the way I’ve done it tube ineffectively made the plants nocturnal lol so I was wondering how can I swap the schedule so the lights are on in the day not at night ? Haha

Very technical question - LED wattage vs actual power used
My LED is a Phlizon 600w but the power draw is only around 97w at the plug. Perhaps a silly question, but is my diary entry supposed to be 600w or 97w? Looking at other diaries, it looks like yield is expressed as weight/watt and want to be consistent.

Devo cambiare lampada?
Lampada CFL125 150w full spectrum a luce bianca va bene anche per la fioritura? La pianta è Quick One RQS in grow.

First questions about light
Since I'm using a chinese 50W led grow lamp , what is the right distance from the plant? I'm doing 18-6, but since she looks little for her age, would be useful to turn 24-0? many thanks for your help

Can you make an Auto flower by changing the light schedule?
Ok, before everyone jumps on this with the obvious answer - I understand that you don’t NEED to change the lighting for an auto to flower, but my question is can you, if you wanted to, flip an auto to flower by changing the light schedule to 12/12?

Right lighting at day 6 - fluo or HI as both available
Right lighting at day 6? Very happy that all germination looking good on day 6 from seed. I could either continue with this compact fluorescent bulb (15 cm from tiny first leaf) for another week or two OR switch to full HI 1500W immediately (30cm from plant) Thanks!

I have several question about my setup for the first week:
- is the distance of the light to the plant ok? - is the intensity of 25% correct? - should I remove the seed coat or should I just let Mother Nature do it, eventually it will be blown up..

Just ordered a 150W Quantum Board, can I swap my Blurple UFO mid grow to the new board? Is it possible to increase flower size this late into a grow?
My Blurple apparently uses 230W actual draw but is advertised as 600W. If that 230W value is correct, does that suggest my new, much more expensive QB is not as good? Will it make a difference to the plants health? What are the benefits from the QB? Thanks!
