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

Nanners?Can someone verify my latest 2 photos look like nanners? If so, I’d love some insight on why my plants seem to be so light sensitive. Most growers seem to blast their plants with upwards of 200w with little issue. Mine is sitting at 80w 22inches and it seems to be struggling!6y ago

When to raise light potency with autoflowersI don't really know when to raise the amount of light when growing autos.
I think I'll wait for them to complete 15 full days and then I'll raise the LED panel to 50cm, change from 20% to 40% potency and observe how they behave.
