raise lights during stretch?
TonkaSunstarted grow question a year ago
Should I raise the lights during flower stretch to maintain the same distance from light source to canopy? I notice that my plants continue to get taller than most. I know the stretch is natural, but I'm wondering if constantly raising the lights with growth is the right approach

A good thing to do is watch for any signs of light damage. The first signs your plant will give you will be the turning of leaves away from the light source. That's a good indication that you should raise your light.
You're going to want to keep the intensity so yes raising it is the best approach but wait until she tells you.
Hope this helps.

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions
