Less light for an auto? Maybe 12/12?
Been going with 18/6 for my cream autoflower from growers choice from Day 1. Now 5 weeks into flower I’m wondering if she would benefit from less light, like 12/12, as you would for a photo period plant. What do you think? Would she be happy flowering in some more dark period?

Slight leaf tip "burn"
What do you think is causing this burn on my leaves? It seems to be quite common. and maybe nothing to worry about if it's this minute. but I would prefer to not burn my plants at all if possible. Could it be a sign of underwatering? Light distance? i have a dimmer keepin at 1000

regarding the light spectrum ratio. what is the ideal light spectrum for both the vegetative and flowering phases? Do you use 3500K lights during the vegetative stage, or only use cold white lights at 6000K? do you then switch in flower to 3500K lights along with 370-780nm?

Hans panel 180 use veg mode or not
I've got a hans panel, it's got veg setting and flower. i had it all day on veg mode, seedling was stretching so i placed maybe 30cm from the lamp, but now leaves turned bit yellow. Would it be better to put it on flower mode and place the seedling further away?

Changing Lighting Schedule
The days on the plants are since planting, so i was going to keep the vegetative light schedule until 5 weeks since planting, then start moving towards a 12/12. Is it even optimal for an autoflower to have a traditional 12/12 lighting schedule during flowering?

Added a light, how far should I hang them both from the girls?
I have added a Mars Hydro TS600 to my tent along with the Spider Farmer SF1000 in my 2x2, how far should I move them up away from the plants? I'm guessing I don't want them as low as the SF1000 was on its own which was around 15" Thank you lovely people!

When to raise light potency with autoflowers
I don't really know when to raise the amount of light when growing autos. I think I'll wait for them to complete 15 full days and then I'll raise the LED panel to 50cm, change from 20% to 40% potency and observe how they behave.

Grow Light for 3x3 tent
Looking for a good grow light for a 3x3 flower tent. -Price is not an issue -Low heat since I am venting into my living area. -Even light distribution. I plan on doing a SCROG so having the same light intensity on the edges as the center would be best.

Use lamp while waiting the sun ?
Would it be worth it for me to go and buy a CFL bulb at a DIY store while I wait for the sun to come back? Or is it not good to have 2 different types of lighting (sun and cfl bulb)? And what kind of cfl bulb I could take?

IR cameras and ligth
Are IR cameras dangerous for the night cycle? I have my plants on streaming and I'm thinking of placing an infrared camera and IR LED I'm worried that the IR light can stress the plants and interrupt the night cycle. Wave you experience this with security cameras?

Beleuchtung
Danke für die Antworten. Ich werde sie aus Zeitgründen in ihrem Zuhause belassen... aber gut für den nächsten grow... Wenn ich auf 12/12 umstelle soll ich dann auch gleich die Lampe wechseln?🤔

Temperatur
Hello, just a general question about the temperature during the flowering phase. Right now, I'm only getting 24-26 degrees Celsius during the day (more 26 than 24) and a maximum of 21 degrees at night. Is that sufficient for the ladies, or do I need to take action? They are showing no signs of illness.

When to put the light on?
Hey there, Do you need to put the light on the pots directly after you planted the seeds in the ground? Or do you need to wait untill they poke true the ground and then put the light on them?

Tipps, Beleuchtung, Mars Hydro, dimmer
I got myself a Mars Hydro Fc-evo 6500 that's coming soon. Is there anything I should keep in mind or does anyone have tips on how you set up your lights? I also got the iconnect to plan it better, but this is my first dimmable light ✌️
