When to turn the light on after sprouting?
We have a sprout! Tropicana Banana sprouted between 10pm last night and noon today. Can I turn the light on now, and start the 18-6 schedule tonight or will it fuck it up if I turn the light back off at midnight tonight to begin the 18-6 schedule?

Growing five plants (germinated Sept 8) including 3 Anvil and 2 BlackStrap autoflower strains from Mandalorian Genetics. The BlackStraps have been showing pistils since about end of week 3. No Anvil plants are showing pistils. Should I switch the lighting schedule to 12/12?

Beginner grower question
Hi! I am a beginner grower. I converted a refrigerator for micro-growing. How long until my first plant is finished? It grew semi-open air. The box was ready a few weeks ago and I put it in. My lamp is viperspectra p600. I welcome any useful advice. Thanks. Auto jack herrer

Flip light schedule
1 week into flowering and I need to change lighting schedule, complete reversal from night/day due to cold night tempswhen lights are on. Only way to achieve would be to have 24 hours of dark. There maybe an impact but warmer day temps I'm sure will benefit in the end. Thoughts

En qué mejora más watts de luz
En qué mejora que ponga 100w de LED a 30/40cm de las plantas a qué tenga 50w de LED a la misma distancia ? O por ejemplo con 400w de LED a 40/50cm crecerían x(2, 3, 4) veces más rápido?

Information on led grow light.
I am growing one plant of OG KUSH AUTO strain from Nirvana with light setup of 200watt of white led flood light and 300watt of led grow light. Is this much light enough for a single plant? I am using soil as grow medium.

Sorry hat the question earlier before but I'm new here so I dont know how to undo the solved quesion status. The LED has about 300W and I want to dimm it. not simply turn it on/off. Preferably with some kind of integration in home automation systems like Home Assistant. Thanks :)

Come to my aid
Yooyoo guys could this be light stress ? Also should I consider a second defoliation? I reckon it could help the shorter plants get more light What do you guys think ? I’ve added a pic of the light Happy growing

How do you use plant LED lights? I am using the BESTVA 3000, which has separate growth and bloom lights. After flowering begins, should I use both the growth and bloom lights together, or only the bloom lights?

Auto seedlings, lighting question!
Hi! I have a question. I am just about to start my first indoor grow, it’s relatively small, only two plants, both autos. I am using the Telos 6 mesh LED for lighting but I am unclear as to when to switch the power from 25-50%? Is it when the first true leaves appear? Thanks

Wich of those cheap lights would be advised under 200€ and that would fit both final vegging state and flowering? The grow space is 80cmx80cmx160cm and keeping in mind that the weather along with the lack of ventilation budget limits my options to colder leds. Thanks in advance
