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!

Lighting questionI am running the Viparspectra 450w LED as my light for 4 autos in a 2x4 space. I am worried this isn’t enough, especially because of its lower levels of red. Should I upgrade to something stronger like a Mars hydro 600 or 1000 before flowering start?Or if not Mars something else?Week 4

Flip light schedule1 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. ThoughtsWeek 4

Height Spider Farmer SE3000 week 5 flowerPAR increased to 600 PPFD, done by lowering the light to 35 cm above canopy.
What do you think? is that too low? I'm using a Spider Farmer SE3000 (300 Watt). Anybody experience with this light? How high did you hang it from week 5 of flower to the end?Week 13
