Light Intensity
Hi there! Last week I discovered that plants were very droopy. It was end of the day cycle so I dimmed the lights around 400 ppfd. Normally I would give easily 700-800 for 18 hours. Why is that happening now. Is it that my co2 ppm is very low? is it genetics?

KingBright 240w Meanwell driver relocation
Does anyone know the name of this connector the Kingbright LED boards use and where to buy them? I'm looking to relocate my LED driver but Kingbright wont be able to get me one till August. If I could at least find compatible adapters I can make my own cable out of them.

Just ordered a 150W Quantum Board, can I swap my Blurple UFO mid grow to the new board? Is it possible to increase flower size this late into a grow?
My Blurple apparently uses 230W actual draw but is advertised as 600W. If that 230W value is correct, does that suggest my new, much more expensive QB is not as good? Will it make a difference to the plants health? What are the benefits from the QB? Thanks!

Lights went off and then on in flower [3rd week]
quick question, my breaker overloaded today and turned off power to my flowering tent. They were about 30 min away from lights out which I figure shouldn't be that bad, but while solving the power issue the lights came back on. Will they be affected and how? Thanks in advance

Yellowing leaves after first Mainline top. Light stress?
Just checking in here, I am pretty sure this is light stress. it was at 18" (specs say 18-24" during veg) and she was likely pretty stressed after having her top cut off!!! I have raised light to 23". Am I on the right track here?
