Keep it simple, just lower the lights to 35cm. 480W is not too much for the room

18-6 or 24H Of light
Hello growers, I’m growing an auto and I have it under 18-6 h and she already started to flower, my question is if I can change it to 24 h of light and if there’s any benefits with that, cause I already read that night time will help them recover a bit from stress and I use scrog

Light Burn? Mars Hydro TS3000 at 30% Power, 26 inches away per manual. I have since raised back to 30 inches.
Is this light burn? I noticed some slight yellowing/crispy looking leaf at day 11. Light is about 30% Power, about 30 inches away. I previously had it about 26 inches and raised when I noticed this issue about 24 hrs ago. Pics are updated. Temps: 70-75 RH: 50-60 Soil Runoff: 6.5

Can you make an Auto flower by changing the light schedule?
Ok, before everyone jumps on this with the obvious answer - I understand that you don’t NEED to change the lighting for an auto to flower, but my question is can you, if you wanted to, flip an auto to flower by changing the light schedule to 12/12?

Light flashed on
Our power did some interesting things during the storm & the lights went on in the tent - I would say they literally flashed on & then off (along with the rest of the house) - during the *dark* period. How concerned if at all should I be about this? Anything I should / could do?

Is my LED too close or too far from my plant?
So this is my first grow and it feels like she’s growing a bit slow. Currently at day 10. Distance was 62 cm. The LED is 100W. Now the distance is 57 cm. I’m wondering if I’m just impatient. Is this distance appropriate? How is the growth looking?

Lifespan of led grow lights?
Lifespan of LED quantum boards? Hi I'm looking for anyone who has first hand experience with the lifespan of the led grow lights. I'm not looking for the manufacturer guidelines. Just anyone who has noticed any difference in performance from the LEDs over time.. 💚

First grow. Growing autos from meph in a 3x3 tent. They are in the w/3 of flower. On 24 hr light.(Accidentally) having a heat wave in my area and can't keeps temps down below 80-85. Will it hurt anything to switch to 18/6 now so I can have lights off when it's hottest part of day

is it okay to place it near the led lights? as many says that it could burn your seedling down.
recently im buying the 1000w full spectrum oem led from China. and i know it just “labeled” 1000w. im testing it on my plant, placing it near and seems like it doesn’t burn my babies.

I have a Horticultural Lighting Group 260 QB V2 R Spec light (260 watt LED). I previously had a 20" x 36" tent and the light was great. I have just gotten a 36" (91cm) x 36" (91cm) tent and wondering if this is enough power for great production or if more light would be better?

Is it too late for scrog and have I had the light too low during the veg stage?
So I noticed pistils appearing and now I'm worried that I've had my light too low during veg (~8k lux). Is it too late for scrog at this point or will they continue to grow? I've now bumped the light up to 22K lux should I lower the light to increase the intensity even more? TIA
