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

Can I change my autoflowers light cycle withou reducing their yield significantly?
I am having humidity/mold problems and was thinking of changing the cycle so the grow goes off at noon ( currently it goes off at 1am and its winter and gets real cold with 88% humidity). Even if I stress them, it would be better to not have mold than reducing the yield, right?

I’m here again with another silly question Or not I’m not sure🤣 I have a 600w ballast with a 600&400 switch on it and I’m wanting to downgrade to a 250w lamp. Will my ballast power it okay or will it kill it🤔 or should I get a 400? Thanks!

Low cost lights? That consume little (under 10pw if possible)!

Can I use 18 on 6 off during flower when growing autoflowers and using ViparSpectra KS5000 LED at 100% power?
I have a tent with a ViparSpectra KS5000 LED lights. If I am growing autoflowers and they are in the flower stage do I have to change the light/dark schedule from 18 on/6 off to 12 on/12 off or will it be ok to keep the lights on a 18/6 schedule since they are autoflowers?

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?

LED distance in grow 80x80x160
I placed the LED at a distance of 45-50cm from the seeds and consequently it was about 65-70cm from the larger plant. I have 4 plants Is it ok like this? I don't have a luxmeter and I use the phototone app to get an idea of the PPFD in each plant.

First grow. Growing autos from meph in a 3x3 tent. They are in the w/3 of flower. On 24 hr light.(Accidentally) having a heat wave in my area and can't keeps temps down below 80-85. Will it hurt anything to switch to 18/6 now so I can have lights off when it's hottest part of day

Does this look ok? I have 2 plants not growing as fast as my macchiato plant. The other two are different strains, Runtz & Zittles. I don’t want to over do it but I know light is key so I thought I’d ask. Both 1000 watt uv & the other is led. I’m on veg week 5 of all 3.

LED light - Veg / Bloom
Hey guys and girls, I have 2 autos that are a week old and looking strong. I have a Phlizon 600W Led light which comes well recommended. It has 2 switches. VEG & BLOOM. You can have 1 or both on. Should I have both switches on (full power) at this early stage or just VEG?

Grow light question
I bought a cheap light by KingLED. It’s only 100 Watts and I’m unsure if it’s enough for one plant. The light has 2 switches, one for veg and one for flower. Should I always have both on since it will be an autoflower?
