All of this of course depends on what light you have. I want 3 or 4 times as much light for flower. So, depending on how you sized your veg light you could be under powered. The plant(s) will grow but they won't live up to their full potential. If you are running more light than needed in veg then you might not be so bad during flower.
In my office I have a lot of plants and I use Kind LED veg light bars. Even though the lights are specific for veg I have no trouble growing anything and I get tons of flowers.

It really depends on your light. If its a good LED with Samsung diodes and mean well driver, could get upwards of 2.5 grams/watt. Cheaper leds will be closer to 1 gram or less. If its an HID light will be around 1 - 1.5 grams per watt. I'm not sure on other lights.

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Got a Mars Hydro TS600, will it do alright?My plan is to grow only 1 plant, in a 40x40x120 tent. I know the tent is pretty small but hopefully i can do some training on the plant to grow wide
Will the light do until the end? 100wats, but no light dim possibility. Currently growing seedling at 13 dli at 60 cm
