Do not switch back your lights to anything more than 12 hours or your photo period plants will respect that photo period and go back to vegging stage. Keep on the great care! Happy smokes!

And if it's not difficult, tell me how I should control the light at all stages of growth from growth to the end of flowering!? at what distance from the plants should the light be? and what power adjustments on the driver should I make?

Seedling growth rate
Plants grow almost 1 cm per day (3rd week). Is it too little or correct? I have the impression that they still lack light (the rods are quite thin and long), maybe I should bring them closer to the LEDs?

Should I put the light on before sprouting or not?
I'm most likely going to be transferring my autos from paper towel into my medium, I've heard some people say have the light on before they sprout and some who say after it's sprout, which is the best thing to do?

I’m using an HLG 550 V2 RSpec in a 3x3 tent over one Universal Kush plant. Anyone have experience growing with this light in a similar setup? What’s the best height from plant and intensity level should I set the light to? Don’t want to stress her, just want ideal light levels.
