Pal. At 450w. You shoulda be running at 25% for the 1st week. You shouldn't have to exceed 50% for your whole veg with such a high powered light. So I'd say she's at a right setting now. No need to use more watts that's not needed. Good luck

Breaking light cycle during flowering Does breaking the dark cycle after half an hour of dark will stress the plant? I just opened the box 30 minutes after the light went down during the first week of flowering. Can this make my plants hermaphrodite?

I Made a Big Mistake I forgot the timer open and the plant has been lighting for 2 days now. Normally I have to turn the lights off at 6 pm. What should I do? Should I wait until 6pm? Or should I turn it off and switch to a new light schedule? Photoperiod - 5th Week of Flowering Phase

Lux Meter and Hydroponics Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.

Plants Growing Taller Than Light My plants are growing taller than the LED light! The hanging wires that came w/ the light are now too long; even after rigging the wires so the light will hang at a higher distance. I am using a 4 ft. tall grow tent. How/what can I use to adjust the height of the light?
