additional blurple lights
I also got the blurple lights from my friend. To keep the temperature down I haven't installed them yet and not sure if I will. Will they make a difference if I add them next to the current LED? If so should I wait until the flowering stage or anything like that?

How much light for a stunned seedling?
If my seedling is stunned, how much light in watts should I give to her? Does it make sense to give minimum light to help recover after over-feeding? (in my case 11w all spectrum bulb). I mean to help her to focus on recovery, not on reserving energy

Woke up this morning and she’s grown a bit from yesterday. 4cm tall now. HLG 135 was dimmed (to a level that was comfortable to look at, I have no way of measuring output right now) and is 26” away. I know it’s early but I have no experience!
