You can try and aluminium foil it's kind of cheap, for sure your light will reflect and also touch the bottom of the plant and the new leafs, or you can opt and buy some leds strips are really chep and works grate

LED light distance
Hey guys I'm kind of new to growing only been doing it for a little over a year. My girls grow really well they just don't get very tall I'm thinking it's because my lights are too close. Is this correct? Distance is 9 inches above canopy in week 6 growing critical 2.0 autos.

Wrong light schedule
Screwed up light timing. Thought I was on an 18/6 schedule in my tent but apparently it was 12/12 from weeks 3-7. It’s close to needing to be switched over to flowering size wise. I switched over properly to 18/6 two days ago and plan to keep it there for an extra week. Yes?

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?🤔

Too little light
I have now tried removing the WPM by smiering 40/60 milk/water on the affected areas. Deep inside the canopy aswell since little to no airflow passes here due to the plant being so deep in the pot. And apart from that the plant recieves 8 hours of light and I cant install a LED.

Should I substitute sunlight with a grow lamp on cloudy days?
It’s overcast here today and I’m wondering if I should turn my grow lights on to compensate for the lack of direct sunlight. If so, should I drop the intensity to compensate for the additional natural light? Can you overdo the amount of light (not heat) a plant gets?

Autoflower light schedule
Soon rolling into veg for my first auto grow. Currently on an 18/6 light schedule using Mars Hyrdo II 700w . Don’t have any problems with temp/humidity inside tent. Once you notice the buds starting to flower do you switch to 12/12 or just keep plugging away with 18/6?

When to turn the light on after sprouting?
We have a sprout! Tropicana Banana sprouted between 10pm last night and noon today. Can I turn the light on now, and start the 18-6 schedule tonight or will it fuck it up if I turn the light back off at midnight tonight to begin the 18-6 schedule?
