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 😪

Light for 4x4 tent?
Which would you go with for a 4x4 that is used for veg and flower: Mars Hydro TSW3000 or AC Infinity s44? I've got myself narrowed down to these two options.

My plants have been looking sad for a couple weeks. Tried everything then the other night I turned my light down to 40% giving a DLI of 28 they perked right up with 24 hours. I have now put it up to 60% giving a DLI off 39 will this be ok or should I keep it low. Week 2 flower.

Thoughts, good idea or bad idea?
I got an idea from when I was pruning pecan trees growing up. If I install small LED lights directly inside each "window" or "pocket" will that improve total light and production, or will I just burn the plants?

Kind LED XL600 series 2 heights?
Hey, I’m running 2x Kind Led xL600 series 2 lights and seen people running much much lower hanging heights than recommended (18inch instead of 30inch) and wondered if anyone has any PPFD or PAR readings at anything lower than 30inch or any reasons why they run them lower. Thanks

Lux Meter and Hydroponics
Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.

Spider Farmer sf 1000 light height inquiry.
I am growing in a 2x2 spider farmer with a SF 1000, currently the light is 20" and only 80% power. It seems like a powerful light and don't want to overdue it. Should I move the light closer and turning up to 100% power for the rest of flowering?

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!
