Can rotating my 12 hour cycle back a few hours over the course of 3 nights harm my plant mid flower?
If i were to manually flip my lights on and off an hour early for 3 nights to adjust my 12/12 from 9am-9pm to 6am-6pm would it be detrimental to the plants? They are in the 5th week of flower. Rotating back 1 hour each night

Too close to the “sun”(light).... any advice?
My plant grew close to 4x it’s original size during her stretch, 10-12” on day one of 12/12 to 46” tall. She’s on day 30 of flower and I set up a second ScrOG net. Other than blocking light to shorter plants, do you see any other potential problems this second net might cause?

How much light does a seedling need?
Is there a limit to what it can use? Could an LED grow bulb a couple inches away provide enough light? Up to what age? Thank you so so much. My first grow and I really appreciate it! Specifically this one https://www.gelighting.com/led-bulbs/e2624/ge-grow-balanced-spectrum-br30#

Swapping lights during flowering
Do you guys think that swapping lights at the late flowering stage is going to harm my girls in any way? Been fortunate enough to be able to order myself a Viparspectra xs4000 to replace the v600. And as I understand it should be quite an upgrade. Thanks for any advice!

When to flip LED's 'bloom' switch on?
When's the best time to flip the 'bloom' switch on my LED with an auto? Should it be at the first sign of pistils or is there a better time to do so? I have already flipped the switch for this plant and kept photo-period the same, looking for info for next grow. Thanks!
