Back To 24 Hour Light - Auto Flowers
My autos switched from 24 hour light to 16 about 2 weeks ago to see if it would help make them bloom faster. Can I turn them back onto 24 hours or could that mess things up? I would like the most amount of light time. They should have 2 more weeks left

couple quick questions
Do I need to close the flap to the vent during dark cycles? (Lights off during the day) and should I block lights coming from fan power, humidifier, dehumidifier, or indicator lights? Also do I need to use the carbon filter the whole time? should I ever have the exaust fan off?

Lightning question
Hey, Growers! This week I had to open together the two boxes, so now all the plants have both kind of lights. Do you think, it can have a negative effect on them, or maybe it's good at least for the 140cm height White Widow,because the bottom parts get some more light from there?

Luce rossa e blu insieme in vegetativa.
Do you think turning on the blue vegetative LED lights, along with the red light, can harm the seedlings? Or will keeping both buttons of the lamp on together only be beneficial for the seedlings?

Колличество света
Can anyone explain why all the guides and manuals say that autoflowers need 500mmol/cm2 during flowering while photoperiods need 700, when in reality, under sunlight, the plant in the wild gets 1400-1600? Why not give the same amount of light to plants indoors?

regarding the light spectrum ratio. what is the ideal light spectrum for both the vegetative and flowering phases? Do you use 3500K lights during the vegetative stage, or only use cold white lights at 6000K? do you then switch in flower to 3500K lights along with 370-780nm?

HLG 550 V2 RSpec power/height in flower
I’m using an HLG 550 V2 RSpec in a 3x3 tent over one Universal Kush plant. Anyone have experience growing with this light in a similar setup? What’s the best height from plant and intensity level should I set the light to? Don’t want to stress her, just want ideal light levels.

Do you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?
So I’m in mid flower, start of week 7 to be exact. I’m curious on when you guys start pulling back light intensity and going with a little cooler temps. I’m running a 240W S33 from AC infinity in a 3x3. Should I be going strictly off of PAR or VPD at this point.
