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.

Have you ever made this mistake? My second harvest was someway worst then my first. Sure I did some watering mistakes but during my chores in the room and in the tent, I found out. I used a random power cable on my PAR LED lamp so when It turned off still had some light on. Bang!

LED glass/plastic cover.
Glass/plastic cover on cheap led lights.. do you remove them or not? From keeping reptiles I know that any glass/plastic will reduce UV. Just wondering if anybody's noticed any difference after removing the glass.

Autoflower 24hrs of light?
AUTOFLOWER - I checked on my seedlings this morning, and the temp in the tent dropped to 9 degrees celsius during the night. My light puts off a bit of heat. Am I better to run the light 24hrs and maintain a warmer temp, or give them a few hrs of darkness and risk dropping temp?

Lighting schedule?
Many references state the when moving from vegetative to flowering stage the lighting schedule (indoors) needs to be reduced from 18-20 hours down to no more than 12. Why do many here stay at 18 or more the whole way through?
