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.

Just wondering if adding sunlight could improve it or makes no difference?
Do you still need to give plants sunlight if they have a tent fan and ac plus led grow lights? I really need to know if after 53 days of 6hours of sunlight daily the plant might be used to the sunlight , although I know led grow lights are like a mini sun inside tent but still?

Should I keep my light hours or take it back down?
I had 20/4 lightcycle on my autos but because of humidity problems, I had to raise the hours with light on. First to 22/2 and now I had to put it to 23/1. Tomorrow I will get another LED lamp and soon a dehumidifier. Can I then turn it down to 20/4 again without too much stress?

Distante between LED and plants.
The distance between the LED and the plants is 53 cm. Is it ok for the first week? I've read that a short distance in this stage is good to produce a not so tall plant.

Is this stunted or normal?
This plant is 36 days old. Does it look behind or on track to you? I'm wondering if I stunted it or of I'm just over thinking it. I'd love to hear any feedback but especially want to know how you think the size is. Also light to weak? 54watt optic phantom

Led Grow lights
I have a viperspectra xs4000 light 480 watts I am running it at around 25% on the dimmer switch and my lights are about 24" from my canopy. I've noticed some of my pistols wilting and looking stressed. Should I try to move my lights higher or continue dimming them down more?

How many plants in a 70x70x160cm tent with 100W?
Hello, I have a grow tent kit 2x2 with a 100W 301H EVO Spider Farmer light. I have put there three 11L pots. But now I realize the size/light of my tent might not be enough. Could I manage by adding an additional 60W lamp you reckon or is it best to discard at least 1 plant? Thx

is the 'greenfingers led grow light 2000w full spectrum' not very good compared to others?
if you don't know the light you can google but there aren't any reviews i can find, compared to say spider farmer 4000 (or others) is it much worse or a little worse, etc? if that much worse when i can afford it someday should i buy another one and count this purchase as a loss?

Set Up Tent
How should I set up my carbon filter, exhaust fan & air ducts? I’m in limited space right now but want to make sure I get good air circulation still. I set it up the wrong way the last time I had it up but it was already up so I just left it. Also, my fans. Where should they go ?
