Hi, My grow is now under 18/6 light cycle and last night my timer got broken, she was 14 hours in darkness. What should I do now ?, Can I keep 18/6 cycle, or do I have to switch to 12/12?. I hope she dont freak out 😪

Just wondering if adding sunlight could improve it or makes no difference?
Do you still need to give plants sunlight if they have a tent fan and ac plus led grow lights? I really need to know if after 53 days of 6hours of sunlight daily the plant might be used to the sunlight , although I know led grow lights are like a mini sun inside tent but still?

Light cycle messed up do I have leverage for one mistake?
Timer messed up the cycle and stayed on for an extra 12 hours.. So in total she was, for 24 hours in light... Soon as I noticed I manually turned off. Now the question is.. It's messed up and now off when supposed to be on vice versa, does the one mistake matter so much, seeding?

Mixing LED lights
Hi everyone! I am growing 4 autos in 3x3 tent under the p300 platinum led light. Is it ok to add an additional VS1000 as a supplement light? Or will the difference in spectrum cause trouble?

My grow kit will arrive this week. is there anything I need to watch out for considering the fact that they only have stood by the window (mostly cloudy weather) for most of their lives? I don't want them to get overloaded with the rays of my growlight 😇

Hi friends please advise me. I plan to go full LED on next run looking at spider farmer sf4000 lights are they the right lights to invest in and should I feel confident to invest in 6 of them as high end kit for my garden as they are more affordable than HLG 650r. Thanks friends.

Led Light distance and power question.
I have a Lumatek Attis 300w. For the beginning of vegetation stade, I place it at 60cm of the plants and configure power on 40%. I read that very young plants needs less light in the very beginning of their life but I can't find precisly what distance and power use.
