UV light
Where exactly should the uv light be placed? Is it possible to place it between two spotlights? Or is it better at the ends of the lamps? What uv light do I need for a space of 1m2? I'm very lost, help please! Thank you!

DIY QB - Which SMD LED's to and not to use
Hey I was thinking to make a quantum board from scratch but there are not much type of smd led's I could find online. So wanted to ask you guys if that would be a good idea or I should not even think about it? I can have enough of smd 3020 to do this but the last word is yours..

Is my light adequate?
I’m sure it’s outdated since I purchased and used last in 2014 but is my 225W AgroMax UFO 6Band LED enough to produce quality and quantity in my 2x2x5 grow box for one plant? Red - 660nm & 630nm Blue - 460nm & 430nm White - 10K Specialty - 410nm near U.V.

Hello, I am using a viparspectra par1200 which has the veg and bloom adjustment knobs on autoflowers. My question is, should I only be using veg during veg and bloom during bloom? Or can I just turn that sucker on full blast the whole time? Thanks

What are optimal PPFD
Anyone have a quick and easy rule/suggestion for PPFD & lux for plants in Seedling, Vegetative & Flowering states? Lots of divergent answers online. At plant top right now I'm currently at ~1000PPFD and the lux readings are 49,000-51,000. What are 'best practices' for this?

When to lower light intensity?
When is the right time to lower light intensity? I'm on 5th week of flowering, should I keep my lights on max or reduce the power/increase the distance to plants? I have around 1000W of Led's at 35-60cm distance from the tops. I see no burning/bleaching or anything like that.

Autoflower 24hrs of light?
AUTOFLOWER - I checked on my seedlings this morning, and the temp in the tent dropped to 9 degrees celsius during the night. My light puts off a bit of heat. Am I better to run the light 24hrs and maintain a warmer temp, or give them a few hrs of darkness and risk dropping temp?
