Blüte einleiten
Wie soll ich den Lichtzyklus ändern von 16/8 auf 12/12, einfach direkt in einem Tag 4 Stunden Licht wegnehmen oder step by step pro Tag 30 min weniger Licht geben, bin mir unsicher ob ein direkter wechsel zu Zwittern führen kann, wie macht ihr es?

Currently running my KingLED 2000 with both Bloom and Veg switches on. Is this the correct time to go just with the Bloom lighting? There's no harm in running both throughout; correct? Except to the power bill of course. Any thoughts?

Temporary 24 hours darkness, equipment issue.
My light ballest has broken tonight, my lights will have been off for 24hours by the time I can replace, the plants are about 2 weeks from harvest, would it damage the plants to start the light cycle (18 on 6 off) tomorrow after having the light off for 24 hours?

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?

Light schedule
So I got a new timer and messed up schedule. Plants got 16 hrs of light, turned lights out as soon as I noticed (5am). 11am-11pm light.(5 weeks into flower) Should I let plants have 12hrs dark now and resume 12-12 , or let lights come on at 11am(6hrs dark)

Light came on for about 30 seconds about 3 hours into the dark cycle
So Im 3 days into 12/12 and I bumped my timer last night and my light came on suddenly during the dark cycle. I immediately shut it right back off. Was I wrong in shutting it back off right away? Should I be worried about anything?
