If you have LED light, you definately should increase the light level to 400 ppfd! 150 is much to low.

150μmol/m².s is very low to me.
You can start increasing gradually to reach 400μmol/m².s

Looking at your pics I'd say the light height is decent where your at.

What are you checking with? How does the plant look? What's the light manufacturers recommendation?

PAR/PPFD and light heightPAR/PPFD: does light height matter if your PPFD is in the right range? Another way to ask: is 300 PPFD @ 2 feet the same as 300 PPFD @ 20 feet, or are there other factors involved? (assuming heat, C02, all other non light inputs equal)Setup. Lighting

Less light for an auto? Maybe 12/12?Been going with 18/6 for my cream autoflower from growers choice from Day 1. Now 5 weeks into flower I’m wondering if she would benefit from less light, like 12/12, as you would for a photo period plant. What do you think? Would she be happy flowering in some more dark period?Setup. Lighting

OK to switch from 12/12 to 18/6 for auto in flower?Is it OK to switch an auto from 12/12 to 18/6 when in flower (2 weeks)?
I moved the plants from the attic which was way too hot and tried the 12/12 schedule to reduce the heat. Now that they are in an AC spare room wondering if it would be worth switching. Appreciate the support!Setup. Lighting

Light distance and when to top?I'm using a 300W LED. What distance should I keep the lights at now that I've transplanted and the plants are doing well? I'm thinking 24" and then move up as they grow until flipping. Also, when should I top? I've read that waiting for 6-8 nodes is the right way to go.

Tipps, Beleuchtung, Mars Hydro, dimmerI got myself a Mars Hydro Fc-evo 6500 that's coming soon. Is there anything I should keep in mind or does anyone have tips on how you set up your lights? I also got the iconnect to plan it better, but this is my first dimmable light ✌️

Max 180w LED output for 2x4x6 tent with 3 plants. Good enough?I have a 3-chip 1000W LED with a max output of 180w (Veg 125w, Bloom 55w):
I'm growing autos in a 2x4x6 tent. I'd like to grow 3 plants at a time. Do I need another grow light? Will the one I have suffice?
