16/8 is fine, but it seems most people like 18/6.

Light burn ?
Signs of some sort of def or light burn? My full-spectrum COBs and bulbs are putting down ~22.000lux at the canopy, is that too much at this stage? Autoflower Green Gelato Day 24 Can’t think of any other problem besides the lights...

Light set up.
My only question i have is about my light set up. My plants are 7 days today and i noticed that my plants are all facing towards the light. I have my light at 60cm from the top of the plants and 75% on the dimmer. The light is also 1000 Watts. The tent size is 4x4.

LEDs for 32x32 tent
New to indoor growing. Set up a 32x32 Vivosun tent. Currently have a giixer 1000w light, but wasn’t feeling the coverage was good enough for several plants. So I just ordered a second one. Do you think 2 giixer 1000w leds is ridiculous overkill? Any thoughts appreciated.

Mars Hydro TSL 2000 questions
Other than recommended distance from the manufacture, how do I know how dim/bright the light should be? Also, since these are autos, do I flip at 5 weeks, or just keep going until I’m ready to?

Hight Problems
I’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants. My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?

Should I keep my light hours or take it back down?
I had 20/4 lightcycle on my autos but because of humidity problems, I had to raise the hours with light on. First to 22/2 and now I had to put it to 23/1. Tomorrow I will get another LED lamp and soon a dehumidifier. Can I then turn it down to 20/4 again without too much stress?

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?

DO YOU USE LED DIMMER?
Você usa o dimmer de potência do led? Usa ele em 100% ou aumenta em cada fase (seed, veg, flo)? Tenho visto as duas formas e gostaria de ouvir de amigos mais experientes. Sempre buscando mais saúde para as meninas. ✨🥦

at the moment I'm using a 250W HPS and 2 40W CFL, this takes humidity down. When I will afford LEDs do you think that the humidity will stay as per night or drop down like maximum 10% or it will have same behavior as with hps/cfl combo? Thanks

How to reveg plants after preflowers by the end of april outdoors?
How big are the chances to bounce the plants back to veg after preflowers by the end of april and 14h of day length? Mostly cloudy weather, warm day temperatures (30c) and cooler nights (8c)in the old greenhouse simulated probably to much end of summer vibes.
