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

How to measure lumens of a full spectrum LED light.Since a lux meter only measures certain spectrums of light, how do I use a lux meter to determine the right height of my full spectrum grow light? I have it at the recommended distance but I have signs of light stress. Bleaching of some upper leaves. I moved it up 4 more inches?Week 4

Autoflower light cycles - adjusting mid growAutoflowers can grow in pretty much any light cycle. What are your experiences with changing light cycles mid grow? I am currently around Day 24, running 20/4 but the humidity in my grow cabinet at lights off is very high. How would adjusting to 24/0 affect my plants now? Thanks!Setup. Lighting

Hello fellow growers :D thx a lot
Firstly, is the reason why my plants (especially cookies) are very slightly curling/folding at the ends of the leaves because the LED is too powerful?(Reason to be worried?)
Secondly, should I start adding nutrients? Just 1/4 of Bio-grow for now?6y ago

Low Humidity and high temp or high humidity and low temp?Do you think it’s better lower temp and higher humidity (like 27 degrees c and 80 % humidity) or higher temp and lower humidity (like 29 degrees c and 60 % humidity)? I’m just waiting for the humidifier but in the meanwhile I have to fix somehow. Thanks!Week 1

LED light distanceHey guys I'm kind of new to growing only been doing it for a little over a year. My girls grow really well they just don't get very tall I'm thinking it's because my lights are too close. Is this correct? Distance is 9 inches above canopy in week 6 growing critical 2.0 autos.
