Search online for Daily Light Integral (DLI) chart. The chart shows PPFD and hours per day. Then you can pick the light level based on how many hours you run the light.

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?

Luce rossa e blu insieme in vegetativa.Secondo voi accendere led vegetativi luce blu, insieme alla luce rossa può fare male ai piantini. Oppure tenere tutte e due pulsanti della lampada accesi insieme non farà solo che bene alle piantine?

Lights for heat- 24/7 okay?I really need the heat of the lights to keep the inside of my tent warm. To warm the air around the tent 24/7 would be expensive- much more expensive than using the lights all the time. But will this work with 24 hour lights? Will that stress the plants? Using auto flowers.

LED's wont shut completely off Lights seem to go on a "standby mode" instead of being all the way shut when timers switch them off. Should I buy some other timers? These were brand new, cheap ones though and both the same. Lights are HLG 600 RSPEC and both did this.

Low budget light I don't know if this is the right light. I'm gonna leave it for a week but if I don't see any kind of growth I'm gonna replace it with some good light. But since it's a wooden box I don't want to put a big light, maybe some stripe or bars, any low-budget suggestion is appreciated
