Benefit? Yes. It'll mature faster. However, less light also means less energy to develop buds, so your yield would suffer a bit.

hlg550 distance from canopy veg How far from canopy for HLG 550 during each stage? After starting with a cheap LED, without getting a par meter I think 18" @ 50% power, or 32" @ full power for veg? Start higher and increase power every few days?

Changing light cycle on seedlings?Can I run autoflower seedlings under 24/0 light cycle until they reach mature veg stage, and then move them into an 18/6 light cycle? I’m starting seedlings in a space tote, then transferring to a large tent to mature. Will the light cycle change have negative consequences?
