i would recomend maybe 25% and keep it 12" at seedling to keep from stretching then up it 50-75% @ 18" veg and then crank it to 100% for flower and use the photone app or get a par meter (if you have the money) to check ppfd and adjust height

Temperature ControlHelp! How do I get my temperature down? I have all 3 vents open & 4 fans blowing. My air duct hasn’t come in the mail yet so I can’t set up my exhaust fan yet.

Колличество светаCan anyone explain why all the guides and manuals say that autoflowers need 500mmol/cm2 during flowering while photoperiods need 700, when in reality, under sunlight, the plant in the wild gets 1400-1600? Why not give the same amount of light to plants indoors?Week 9
