I have never used that exact bulb. 20 years ago i did a grow from start to finish with Metal Halide. I found the buds were airy and fluffy not tight and dense. Hope that helps.

Too little light
I have now tried removing the WPM by smiering 40/60 milk/water on the affected areas. Deep inside the canopy aswell since little to no airflow passes here due to the plant being so deep in the pot. And apart from that the plant recieves 8 hours of light and I cant install a LED.

Light cycle messed up do I have leverage for one mistake?
Timer messed up the cycle and stayed on for an extra 12 hours.. So in total she was, for 24 hours in light... Soon as I noticed I manually turned off. Now the question is.. It's messed up and now off when supposed to be on vice versa, does the one mistake matter so much, seeding?

Lowering light
Should I lower my lights and decrease the intensity to get better penetration or keep them the same height and increase intensity? (These are auto flowers about 50 days old getting towards the end of flower)

Doubling light/adding a panel in flower
Adding a second light panel-- any tips? Will it be too much? I've been using a viparspectra p1000 in my 2x3ish closet and it's done me well up to this point. Today I've installed a second led panel (not as good as vipar). Wondered if it'll be too much?

Temporary 24 hours darkness, equipment issue.
My light ballest has broken tonight, my lights will have been off for 24hours by the time I can replace, the plants are about 2 weeks from harvest, would it damage the plants to start the light cycle (18 on 6 off) tomorrow after having the light off for 24 hours?

Сколько ватт на 1 кв.м LED
Can you tell me how many watts of LED light are needed for 1 square meter? What's the minimum, what's the norm, and how much would be bright enough to really see? The lights are 500w for 100x100cm LED. TENT 300x300, and how much exhaust ventilation is needed in cubic meters? I'm planning on using TD Silent.

OK to switch from 12/12 to 18/6 for auto in flower?
Is it OK to switch an auto from 12/12 to 18/6 when in flower (2 weeks)? I moved the plants from the attic which was way too hot and tried the 12/12 schedule to reduce the heat. Now that they are in an AC spare room wondering if it would be worth switching. Appreciate the support!
