Hello everyone, Not really a question, but more a update. I tried to take a answers serious on my last question and here is just a update how it is now. My grow tent is to big, so i made some extra walls with foil and added the second light. Both are now on 75% power. 🙏🏻

Foil isn't really the best light reflector. Mylar emergency blankets are pretty good. Even a flat white paint probably has better reflecting properties. If you gotta use foil it's probably better to crumple it to better mimic the hammered look light hoods have. It's suppose to prevent hot spot burns from refracting light.

for 12 hour operation jus tmake sure your lights produce 70-80umol/s per sq ft (assumes reflective walls and common sense hanging distances) and that'll add up to upper 30s DLI. small adjustments from there based on observing and reacting to the plant growth. multiply sq ft by those values and you know how much light to apply - at a starting point requiring minimal adjustment from there. 18hours for autoflowers or vege phase requirements are simply 2/3rds of that. 70-80 x .67 = ... you can do the math. Less light per hour but runs 150% longer.. it's all proportional. it doesn't save electricity to run autos. you just spend a bit less per hour while running proportionally longer. DLI is DLI is a rose is a rose.

Crisp, clean and rdy to grow! Not sure if it's accurate but you put you had 80rh% on first week of flower, if that's true I'd lower it dramatically especially with plastic pot containers, moisture is going to have a hard time getting out of those pots and running such a high rh will cripple the plants ability to transpire and respire eventually leading to less and less of water you put in the pots leaving the pots, just keep close eye on wayer in the pots if it's not dry after a couple days and noticeably lighter it will lead to problems later. Good luck, setup looks good, plants healthy.
