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

Light intensity for 2.5 week auto flower
Can anyone recommend how high and what percentage to run my light. The leaves have not been strongly perked up in a few days and I wonder if it's that the intensity of light is too high. I've been at 80% at around 14 inches. vipraspectra p600. Critical purple auto.

Will this one be too hot too?
Do you guys think this light will be too hot for my tent? Will it be ok, or bad? Maybe 1500w is too much? Or will the plants grow faster? shorturl.at/grtFL I had to make a short link to fit in question

26 hour day cycle?
ever done a weird light cycle for photo plants? like 14 hours of light then 12 hours of darkness then keep repeating I know that this is longer than a normal 24hour day. 1. 12 hours of darkness is what makes weed start flower. Do weeds know days r 24hr? Can a 26hr day cycle work

Confused with light schedules for outdoor growing
Hi fellow growers, I'm really confused with light schedules for outdoor growing. Everywhere I see 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flowering. However at my place I get ~13hours of daylight (not always sunlight) Would my plants get into flowering if daylight is reduced to ~11 hours?

Is this light good enough?
Will this be enough for 2 auto flower plants in a grow tent? Or will it work for one? The tent is 20x35x64. Or should I get another one or a different light altogether? Thanks!!

About the 1200w light
So I did already in fact order the 1200w led light for the 60x60x140 before asking for advise on it, which was stupid of me. Is it possible to use the light with the door open and fans to decrease hot points?

Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

Tent too hot?
I added two blurple lights - I'm not sure how much they're helping growth but they are definitely making the tent hotter - about 5 degrees F. I have a fan blowing at the bottom of the tent and at top over the lights but I'm worried that it might be too hot. Should I ditch them?
