Auto and regular plants in one box.
I got an auto plant in a box, waiting for flowering to start very soon. Light schedule 20/4. Now I planted a new photoperiodic seed in a same box. What should I do, keep the 20/4 light schedule before the auto plant finishes and after change to 18/6? Or change it right now?

TRUE OR FALSE!?!?
True or false?!?! LED has a longer flowering time. LED needs less nutrient. LED has a more spread light output. After reading to much about it, I would like to know what GD community thinks. 🙏🍀🍀🍀🙏

Seedling growth rate
Plants grow almost 1 cm per day (3rd week). Is it too little or correct? I have the impression that they still lack light (the rods are quite thin and long), maybe I should bring them closer to the LEDs?

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?

UV LED slowing down growth? Sorry previous question without the question!
The plant has a rectangular area in the middle where it is not growing as quickly. The difference is almost 10cm. I suspect the lamp. Could it be that the centrally installed UV LEDs are causing this? They should grow more inside because of more light.

Hi guys, My LED light from my tent just stopped working, it might have been the humidity or straight water in there. The new lights might arrive 4/5 days to arrive. Do you think my plants are going to die? you can check my diaries if you need. Thanks for your help.

Viparspectra LED tips
I’m looking into buying a viparspectra in the future. Which one is best for one plant? I’ve been looking at the 600W one, but I don’t know if that’s the best option for growing a good yield plant in a 80x80x160cm tent.
