the light came on by accident at night

started grow question 5y ago
Здравствуйте! Случайно во время сна включился свет в гроубоксе на 10 мин. Слишком ли это пагубно для двух автоцветов? Не станут ли гермафродитами?

it's not fantastic, but it's not the end of the world either, just make sure it's not going to happen again and it should be fine

One incident should not have any effect and your autos should be just fine. For them to turn hermaphrodite would take many light interruptions over many days. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Lights too close?
While trying to figure out why my plant is so dwarf like I realized it might be the height of my lights. They’ve stayed that position ever since installed them. The problem is they’re basically at the ceiling of my box. Is my set up limiting its growth too?

Mars Hydro dim settings
@weezy90 I have it dimmed to about 35% at 19”. I may be paranoid but I think I see slight tacoing! Should I crank to 90%? 100%?

When to flip into flower?
currently midway through my 9th week of veg and am wondering when I should send plants into flower, should I double check sex first? (Feminized seeds) or wait until my screen fills out more? Plants are in 3 gallons pots and I worry that they might get rootbound if I veg Longer.

Light strips
Opinions 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?

OK to switch from 12/12 to 18/6 for auto in flower?
Is it OK to switch an auto from 12/12 to 18/6 when in flower (2 weeks)? I moved the plants from the attic which was way too hot and tried the 12/12 schedule to reduce the heat. Now that they are in an AC spare room wondering if it would be worth switching. Appreciate the support!

What are optimal PPFD
Anyone have a quick and easy rule/suggestion for PPFD & lux for plants in Seedling, Vegetative & Flowering states? Lots of divergent answers online. At plant top right now I'm currently at ~1000PPFD and the lux readings are 49,000-51,000. What are 'best practices' for this?

Thoughts, good idea or bad idea?
I got an idea from when I was pruning pecan trees growing up. If I install small LED lights directly inside each "window" or "pocket" will that improve total light and production, or will I just burn the plants?

Information on led grow light.
I am growing one plant of OG KUSH AUTO strain from Nirvana with light setup of 200watt of white led flood light and 300watt of led grow light. Is this much light enough for a single plant? I am using soil as grow medium.

Are there any recommendations for a light schedule for autoflowering?
I leave them at 24 hours. I start with the seedlings at 18000 Lux and increase it till the 4th week. After the 4th week I have all my lights at full power and the top buds have around 55.000 to 90.000 Lux.

Light setup
Currently I only got 2 x 50W / 5000K flood lights for veg and approx 150W / 2700K later for flowering. Both LED. Planning to keep lights close to plant - 35-45cm. Do you think its going to be sufficient or should I get professional lights asap?

T5 vs. LED for veg?
So I have a T5 light, and I’ve used it to veg quite a bit, and it does really well. My question is, should I use the T5 in just the seedling phase, then use LED for veg and flower? Or will the T5 give me good results throughout the veg cycle?
