Which led? leds are not even close to the same. 200 watts can be dramatically different from one light to the next.

anywhere from 12" in flower (depending on your diodes) to 24" in flower... (depending on the diodes).. A safe veg height could be anywhere from 20"-36" .. Need to know the brand and model name of the led if you want advice about it.

Is closer to the light much better?
Is the light closer better? I have a VIPARSPECTRA 1000W LED Grow Light (10W LED ,x100) and it says during veg 18-26 and flowering distance at 18-24”. Looking at other growers using LED they are closer. Should I try to keep it closer a little at a time? Is there benefit?

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. 🙏🍀🍀🍀🙏

Pruning?
Pruning ideas along the stems? Was thinking that some of the branches at the bottom that may never get over the lid of the pot should be snipped off. Also, good idea to keep blue/red light shining under the canopy?

Better temperature for early veg
In auto flower indoor, Early veg, is better have 18ºC/24ºC, or stai around 23°C during all the day. I have an Inkbird that I can set on 23, that is cool when is light off, it warm it up. But with light off it’s drop down temperature to 23.

SHOULD I DECREASE LIGHT TO 10 HRS TO SIGNAL TO THE BUDS ITS SNIPPIN' TIME? I'm in no rush, only that the light setup is not ideal for younguns! Don't wanna bully them til they're frail and weak... and not dank.

MARS HYDRO TS600 LIGHT STILL ON WHEN TIMER SWITCHES OFF
it is a known problem i found 2 forum posts discussing it. Different timers have been tried but it always remains the same. Someone said with a mechanical timer the problem is solved I will try that as soon as I have one. In any case, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Diferencia en el color verde de las hojas
Estas plantas automáticas están recibiendo la misma alimentación, agua, etc y están en el mismo tipo de sustrato. Pero unas (las más oscuras) reciben luz artificial adicional (Neón CFL) para llegar a tener 17h de luz al día. ¿Es normal la diferencia? ¿Cuál se ve mejor?
