The light is to far away. You have a dimmer so you can put the light closer and run it with less power.

24/7 lighting autos
24/7 lighting on autos?? Thinking of giving it a shot, any reason not to? Would be easier on some of my equipment keeping that stable environment. Not worried about electric usage. How important is a dark cycle?

Turning lights off before harvesting
I've seen some growers who turn the lights off a couple of days before harvest, and I don't know why. Are there any benefits to doing this? or concerns?

amount of sunshine for autos in late flower - open air, outdoor grow
We're getting 14-15 hours of strong sunshine a day. Now that I'm late flower, should I move my autos into a spot that will get shade for half of the day? Seems like they may not need to be pounded by this much light/heat at this point and could use more down time.

Mars Hydro - TS1000 or TSW2000?
I have a 80x80x160 tent. I’m pretty set on getting a Mars Hydro in the future. but should I go for the TS1000 or the TSW2000? My concern is that the 2000 might get my tent too hot for me to handle and might be more than what I need since I’m only growing one plant.
