Lighting. Increase or stay the same?

BlueDreamer1started grow question 4y ago

Hi, I'm thinking about increasing lighting to 100%... is it too soon? Currently at 60% 20 inches away (manufacturers recommendation.) I'm thinking 100% but staying at 20 inches away.. what's your thoughts? Too soon? (12" - 18" 100% for veg manufacturers guidelines)

I would stay within the manufacturer's recommendations, it might be a little too soon for an increase, the seedling is still fairly young.

I was thinking that, I just wanted a little reassurance I was doing all I could for her at this time. She has no stretch either so I know shes getting enough. I guess I was wanting someone to say "yes turn it up!! She will grow faster" 😂 thanks for your help mate!

Grow light question I bought a cheap light by KingLED. It’s only 100 Watts and I’m unsure if it’s enough for one plant. The light has 2 switches, one for veg and one for flower. Should I always have both on since it will be an autoflower?

Idiot - new light, wrong sized grow tent So I’m an idiot. All this time I thought I had and 80/80cm grow tent, when it turns out it’s actually 60/60, and I of course just ordered the SF2000 light, which is almost 65cms on one side. Should I just order a new tent right away to make it fit? Or could it be squeezed in? 😭

Light question Growing autoflowers, if you gave them 2 hours less than the recommended light; would it just take a bit longer for them to fully mature or seriously affect the yield ?
