3000 watt power use This is my first time using such a powerful light in my opinion, 3000 watts seems overkill but that's what i want. The question IS, is it better to have 1-2 plants under the 3000 watt or worth it to manage 4 at a higher distance? Cheers. Don't keep techniques in mind.

Heat, RH or overwatering? Or alltogether?Hey my fellow growers! The grow reached 32Celsius the last 2 days in the last hour before going into night time. On that time RH goes down to 32% and this seems like it's stressing this lady a bit. Yesterday fed her nuts - maybe a bit too much? Thank you for stopping by!

Can I change my autoflowers light cycle withou reducing their yield significantly?I am having humidity/mold problems and was thinking of changing the cycle so the grow goes off at noon ( currently it goes off at 1am and its winter and gets real cold with 88% humidity). Even if I stress them, it would be better to not have mold than reducing the yield, right?
