16/8 is fine, but it seems most people like 18/6.

Hi! I have just changed to 12/12 bloomtime for my girls. I have a wifi-cam installed so I can check in on them when I want. It has night vision so there are a few red dots(led) from the IR. Can they cause trouble nighttime?

Too early to turn up the dimmible LED light on my seedling?
Unsure if it's too early to turn my light up just yet or wait till more leaves are growing. Currently at 25% (10,000 lux aprox.) using the dimmer for a 120w LED at 20 inches from seedling. Thanks in advance.

My Timer malfuntioned and gave them over 22 hrs of light?I was wondering why they kept growing this fast and big until i controlled the system and noticed they get to much light and stretching this hard. So i turned the hrs down to 16 to stress them into blooming, will this Work?

What’s the ideal amount of LED light for top quality in a 4x4 tent.
I’m exclusively looking to grow top end quality. Already can with HPS setup but wanting to switch. Is 480w Kingbrite LED quantum board with 385,660,730nm enough for this or do I need more? Any other suggestions? Aliexpress/Alibaba manufacturers preferred due to shipping costs.
