Very technical question - LED wattage vs actual power used
My LED is a Phlizon 600w but the power draw is only around 97w at the plug. Perhaps a silly question, but is my diary entry supposed to be 600w or 97w? Looking at other diaries, it looks like yield is expressed as weight/watt and want to be consistent.

Lighting schedule?
Many references state the when moving from vegetative to flowering stage the lighting schedule (indoors) needs to be reduced from 18-20 hours down to no more than 12. Why do many here stay at 18 or more the whole way through?

Single CF Grow COB LED (300 W) sufficient for one plant?
Would like to know your thoughts on my 300-W COB LED (www.amazon.de/dp/B07Z678V5) I’m using in open space on a single plant. I’m not expecting huge yields with this lamp, but I am hoping it will be sufficient to bring a healthy plant to harvest.

Pruning?
Pruning ideas along the stems? Was thinking that some of the branches at the bottom that may never get over the lid of the pot should be snipped off. Also, good idea to keep blue/red light shining under the canopy?

Spider Farmer sf 1000 light height inquiry.
I am growing in a 2x2 spider farmer with a SF 1000, currently the light is 20" and only 80% power. It seems like a powerful light and don't want to overdue it. Should I move the light closer and turning up to 100% power for the rest of flowering?

Plug timer running fast
My plug timeris running about 10 fast each 24hr. And is now at about 2 hours past the actual time. This causes the light cycle to shift forward slightly everyday. Should I set it back to the correct time, leave it be or buy a new one? It is plugged vertically in wall socket.

LUX meter grow question
Can someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them. My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light already

At the moment I dont have a growing light and all the babies get is sunlight (about 15hours). Will this be enough? They are sitting at the window with a humidifier to keep them moistyyy.

Lower lighting at switch to 12/12?
Do you typically want to lower your lighting when you switch to 12/12? I'm a little confused about what is meant when they say to have a 12" light distance for flowering and 18" for veg. Does that mean lower to 12" at the switch to 12/12, or just maintain a min 12" distance?
