Veg cycle-Blooming Hi I ordered a mars hydro ts600w which is arriving either today or tomorrow. I also ordered light timers which I just switched from 24hrs to 18/6. My white widow is currently 5 weeks and my Alaskan purples are 4 weeks. I was wondering if I could start flowering by next week?

Mars Hydro FC4800 vs FC-E4800 FC4800 = 2016 samsung diodes| 2,8 µmol/j |1347µmol PPE -- FC-E4800= 2646 bridgelux diodes | 2,7 µmol/j |1328µmol PPE Both are 480watt lights... Is there a difference between µmol 2,7 and 2,8 when it comes to yield? Is the FC4800 worth the extra money? Doesn't cost much more

How much light - PPFD - without CO2?How high in power should I go with my lights without CO2 enrichment? I can comfortably provide 1200 PPFD to the canopy, but I'm holding it down near 900 because I'm not sure the extra power used would yield an increase in, um, yield.

Mars Hydro TSL 2000 questions Other than recommended distance from the manufacture, how do I know how dim/bright the light should be? Also, since these are autos, do I flip at 5 weeks, or just keep going until I’m ready to?

Efficient lighting Keeping both 200w VEG and 300w FLOWER lights 24h is too expensive for my alien wallet. So I left the veg light under 12h/12h and flower on. Please share with me some of your past experiences and how can I save money and grow killer yields. 👋👽

Seedling growth rate Plants grow almost 1 cm per day (3rd week). Is it too little or correct? I have the impression that they still lack light (the rods are quite thin and long), maybe I should bring them closer to the LEDs?

Help! Timer problem.My timer on 18-6 broke and i'm not sure if the girls had 24 hours for the past couple days... by putting them back into 18-6 will that trick them into flower? Hope not. Thanks :)

Should I flip?I’ve got my plants in 2gal fabric pots and I’m not planning on transplanting up. The plants are averaging about 8/9” and I’m starting to see small roots out the bottom. Should I flip to flowering, or can I get away with another week of veg?

LED Kelvin Temp 3000k-6500k Is there a massive difference in colour temperature/kelvin of LED's if the lumens, PAR, watts, intensity and every other aspect you can think of is the same but its temp/kelvin is lower? I use a 6500k LEDs, may mix in or switch to 3000K for better flowers if its proven to work.
