How long is the power out? How often does the power go out? Does it happen on a regular schedule?

If you have regular power outages I would be tempted to grow autos and not photoperiod. Autos don't seem to mind breaks in the light schedule. But if your talking more then a few hours here and there then I wouldn't grow inside.

lights Would I benefit turning my lights on from veg to bloom at an early age with auto flowers? Or would it still be too much light for them?

Is it too late for scrog and have I had the light too low during the veg stage?So I noticed pistils appearing and now I'm worried that I've had my light too low during veg (~8k lux). Is it too late for scrog at this point or will they continue to grow? I've now bumped the light up to 22K lux should I lower the light to increase the intensity even more? TIA

When to flip LED's 'bloom' switch on?When's the best time to flip the 'bloom' switch on my LED with an auto? Should it be at the first sign of pistils or is there a better time to do so? I have already flipped the switch for this plant and kept photo-period the same, looking for info for next grow. Thanks!
