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

Should i raise the lamp to force the strech?
I had the light the past few weeks 30cm over the plant on 100% wich has 930ppfd in 20h duration it was all together 65 DLI. I want to force the strech from now. Do you think i should raise the light up tp 50cm over the plant? The plant made nearly 20cm within the past weeks.

Help! Timer problem.
My timer on 18-6 broke and i'm not sure if the girls had 24 hours for the past couple days... by putting them back into 18-6 will that trick them into flower? Hope not. Thanks :)

Upgrade from 300w mars hydro TS to FC/FCE?
Will I get noticeably better quality results like denser heavier buds and more resin if I upgrade my light from mars hydro TS series to a bar light with higher red spectrum?

LED glass/plastic cover.
Glass/plastic cover on cheap led lights.. do you remove them or not? From keeping reptiles I know that any glass/plastic will reduce UV. Just wondering if anybody's noticed any difference after removing the glass.

Spider Farmer sf 1000 light height inquiry.
I am growing in a 2x2 spider farmer with a SF 1000, currently the light is 20" and only 80% power. It seems like a powerful light and don't want to overdue it. Should I move the light closer and turning up to 100% power for the rest of flowering?
