Light
Aqueminianswered grow question 5y ago
Your light should be a minimum of 150 watts my friend. More light means more buds for sure. Upgrade when you can, still cool you grew that with 75w

Very impressive plant for 75 watts. Both these guys are right, you need at least 150w and autos don't yield great on a 12/12. If you need a budget light, I highly recommend the growstar 1200w (250w actual) It will yield you around 1/2 pound. It's a little over a hundred bucks on Amazon.

You should have your lights at 18/6 for auto flowering plants, not 12/12.
This is most likely the problem.
12/12 for flowering is the time used for photoperiod plants.
Much too late to do anything about it now, but at least you will know for next time.
Auto-flowering plants need 18/6 to get any sort of decent yield off them, even using 18/6 during the flowering phase.

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?Setup. Lighting

Should I switch to 12/12 lighting? - Autoflowers not showing pistils after 5 weeksGrowing five plants (germinated Sept 8) including 3 Anvil and 2 BlackStrap autoflower strains from Mandalorian Genetics. The BlackStraps have been showing pistils since about end of week 3. No Anvil plants are showing pistils. Should I switch the lighting schedule to 12/12?

Bloom light on heat goes too high?When turning on the bloom setting the temps seem to be getting up to 84 on the very top of my tent and around 80-82 by the bud sites.
Is this too high? Is there any problem turning the bloom high power switch off to let it cool down for a half hour once or 2 a day if too hot?Setup. Lighting

Do I keep dimming my light to try to get proper DLI?Currently at 22" above soil at 50% intensity and still getting ~50DLI at Germ/Seedling stage (too high?). It's a 240W LED. Do I keep dimming the light or do I change light schedule (24h currently) to get proper DLI?

Light stripsOpinions on led strips down the poles of my tent for extra light or saving up for an upgrade.... I've been talking to a fellow grower and I know I need more light in order to have a better yield. I thought 4 light strips would give light from each side plus on top. Whatcha think?
