Plants Growing Taller Than Light
My plants are growing taller than the LED light! The hanging wires that came w/ the light are now too long; even after rigging the wires so the light will hang at a higher distance. I am using a 4 ft. tall grow tent. How/what can I use to adjust the height of the light?

Started the plants off with 60 watts. Increased to 100 watts today with a 20/5 schedule. Could I increase to the full 150 watts already or should I give them a few days with 100? Thanks in advance for any advice. It’s my first indoor grow with this setup and I’m still learning :)

Bulb or ballast?

Did I start LST too early?
At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?

Distante between LED and plants.
The distance between the LED and the plants is 53 cm. Is it ok for the first week? I've read that a short distance in this stage is good to produce a not so tall plant.

Is this light good enough?
Will this be enough for 2 auto flower plants in a grow tent? Or will it work for one? The tent is 20x35x64. Or should I get another one or a different light altogether? Thanks!!

So since I'm into DIY stuff I was thinking to craft something like a cooltube and I'm not sure how the glass will impact the light intensity and which type of glass have the minimum value on filtering the light like also IR and UV. There are not much option except borosilicate...

Mars Hydro - TS1000 or TSW2000?
I have a 80x80x160 tent. I’m pretty set on getting a Mars Hydro in the future. but should I go for the TS1000 or the TSW2000? My concern is that the 2000 might get my tent too hot for me to handle and might be more than what I need since I’m only growing one plant.
