Veg or Bloom mode for Autoflower?
Hiya Folks 😊 As I'm growing an autoflower should I be using the bloom setting on my LED light instead of veg setting? It's only a 200w system and I'm growing in a 3'x3'x6' tent. My plant has just done 28 days from seed!! Cheers 😉

2 hour power cuts (Loadshedding)
Does anyone know what random 2 hour power cuts would do to autoflowers? Sometimes 2/3 times a day. I am supplementing with battery powered lights but I sometimes forget... They are on a 24 hour light cycle

Seedlings
This is my first grow and waiting for them to sprout out, I first soaked them in water over night on a seedling heat mat then put them into soil in these pots and into the plastic propagator in a dark room, should i take them out put them under lights now or wait til they sprout?

Did I start LST too early?
At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?

Grams/watt
I notice that the grams/watt calculation might be misleading. For example my 2500w light puts out actual 530watts. Should this not be the way its actually calculated or am I the only one who thinks so?

Light timer Problem
Hey Growers. So I made a dumbass mistakes…..for the last 18 days I have had my light timer set for 12 hrs 15 mins on and 11 hrs 45 off. They are looking good and budding up. I’m wondering is that close enough to 12/12 to have my day 1 flower be true for accuracy sake. Thanks

Should I lower my light during flowering?
I'm at 24 inches away now, should I lower the light now that she's in full bloom? I went with the recommendation of Mars Hydro and burnt up 3 seedlings as a result. Sadly I only have one bean left of my Fastbuds over this crucial mistake. Running a Mars Hydro SP 250 keep at 36in.

Supplemental light for flowering?
I have a 300w quantum board LED. Its a Mars Hydro TSW 2000. Should I add more light of a different type for flowering or should I just run the LED alone? I've heard people mention the UV-B lights.
