From 24h to 18/6h during flowering ok (autoflower)?
Royal AK47 Autoflower: Changing from a 24h light cycle (since beginning) to 18/6h when already flowering - no problem or not recommended? The temp is a bit too high (~30*C) I think.

Autoflower light cycles - adjusting mid grow
Autoflowers can grow in pretty much any light cycle. What are your experiences with changing light cycles mid grow? I am currently around Day 24, running 20/4 but the humidity in my grow cabinet at lights off is very high. How would adjusting to 24/0 affect my plants now? Thanks!

Should I flip?
I’ve got my plants in 2gal fabric pots and I’m not planning on transplanting up. The plants are averaging about 8/9” and I’m starting to see small roots out the bottom. Should I flip to flowering, or can I get away with another week of veg?

Viparspectra P2000 height and intensity
For those that have experience with the light I'm using, Viparspectra P2000, how high and what intensity percentage should I have it? Currently I'm at 21" at 75% power. Also, I run it 24/7. I have an app on my phone and it says my DLI is at like 56 which seems way too high.
