The simple answer to this is YES! run your LED light with both “Veg” and “Flower” turned on, and back off the light to reduce the intensity, and your plants will thank you in return with vigorous growth!

PAR/PPFD and light heightPAR/PPFD: does light height matter if your PPFD is in the right range? Another way to ask: is 300 PPFD @ 2 feet the same as 300 PPFD @ 20 feet, or are there other factors involved? (assuming heat, C02, all other non light inputs equal)Setup. Lighting

Gradually prepare for the "SWITCH"Hello all!
What is your way to prepare plants for the switch in terms of light?
Do you reduce hours of light slowly until the day of the "switch"? Do you gradually push up the power of the lamp?
At this time i am giving my ladies 24 hours of light, lamp at about 25% of power.Setup. Lighting
