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

Light distance for Seedlings
My question is my 2 seeds have popped out and I am using 3- 8.5 watt 5000K LED lights to light them up. Both plants are under humidity domes so how far should I put the lights above them? I have them in a make shift grow tent for now as my regular tent is finishing up a grow.

Veg cycle-Blooming
Hi I ordered a mars hydro ts600w which is arriving either today or tomorrow. I also ordered light timers which I just switched from 24hrs to 18/6. My white widow is currently 5 weeks and my Alaskan purples are 4 weeks. I was wondering if I could start flowering by next week?

LIGHT SPECTRUM, is that a good one for growing cannabis?
Hi guys, in the future I plan to upgrade from the current 2x2 box/150w LED. I was thinking of a 4x4 area with 500w LED. I came across an interesting 500w led lamp for quality/price and this is the spectrum chart, does it seem suitable for growing cannabis?
