Effect of light only? Really?These girls same strain (strawberry cough photo), born on same day, same medium same feeding except the one on the right was removed from the light about 3 weeks ago and put outside. I thought dark green from nutes, seems the light alone makes such a difference? 45 watt LEDSetup. Lighting

Light Distance - 3 plants are taller than the others...Hi all. So I have 6 plants with a 400w HID. 3 of them are about 10-15CM taller than the others. My light is currently about 45CM from the top of the tallest one. Would this affect the shorter plants negatively? Should I raise them to the same level and up the light to 60CM ratherWeek 5

Confused with light schedules for outdoor growingHi fellow growers, I'm really confused with light schedules for outdoor growing.
Everywhere I see 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flowering.
However at my place I get ~13hours of daylight (not always sunlight)
Would my plants get into flowering if daylight is reduced to ~11 hours?4y ago

Can too much light in Veg cause EC to skyrocket?Hello everyone, I have 4 plants in a 3x3 area under three of these lights - https://amzn.to/2MhseVH
360w all together which is what I expected to use during flower, I didnt realise that you dont need to use as much during veg, all plants have had to be flushed with EC's at 105y ago

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
