Have 2 1200 watt 2 switch LED lights at 19 inches. Currently using just Vegetation switch (assuming each switch is 600 watts) Seeking advice on light distance and if I should use both switches, Vegetative and Flowering. What is best without doing harm?

LED Kelvin Temp 3000k-6500k
Is there a massive difference in colour temperature/kelvin of LED's if the lumens, PAR, watts, intensity and every other aspect you can think of is the same but its temp/kelvin is lower? I use a 6500k LEDs, may mix in or switch to 3000K for better flowers if its proven to work.

Anyone have any history with vibrating HPS lamps? Mine keeps making a buzzing/rattling noise. I’m thinking it’s the metal inside rattling on the glass so if I slightly rotate it it may stop? What do you think? Thanks!

Bud too close to the light
Hi. The main bud on one is 10cm from the light. I cant raise the light any higher and have a bit more vertical growth to go. Shall I remove the bud at a lower artery, or leave it and bend it around the light somehow?? Don't want to loose the main bud but will if I have to?!?

Best Light Schedule for Autoflowers?
I'm wondering what light schedules my fellow growers like to use with their Autoflowers? I'm debating weather the additional cost of a 20/4 is worth it in terms of growth and increased Bud Quality/Size over a 18/6 schedule. I would love to hear your experiences.

Light schedule
So I got a new timer and messed up schedule. Plants got 16 hrs of light, turned lights out as soon as I noticed (5am). 11am-11pm light.(5 weeks into flower) Should I let plants have 12hrs dark now and resume 12-12 , or let lights come on at 11am(6hrs dark)

LED distance to plant advice
Interested in how close I can get my 630w LED with a rating of 2.7μmol/W and 1700 PPF to my canopy. I had it hung 48cm (19 inches) on 380w and just upped it to 500w day 8 in flower. Does this sound too close at 500w or is this ok? Temp is 25C (77F) humidity 55%.

Looking for unsponsored responses... need light...my car cost 1000$ and I can't justify anything close to that. Flowering a 4x4 area..should I wait for tech to develop and HPS in the meantime? Convince me otherwise with your experiences! #budget

Light distance and power with a 205W Sanlight LED
Sanlight told me I should use it dimmed at 80% and 45cm when in flowering. I was aiming to reach lower buds so I put it at 100% and 50cm from the upper buds. The tips of the leaves are slightly burned but no bud bleaching yet like my last run (at 100% 45cm). What's best ? Thx !
