Do you think having a longer lights on time would have been beneficial ? Edit: Currently 16-ON and 8-OFF Not sure why I set it this way.😁

Floodlight for bloom supplement
I have read that my vipar is not the very best for bloom. I want to encourage and support the flowering with my philips 50w 4000k floodlight, what do you think, will this make a worthy difference? (Until I get a new all arounder light)

Do I keep dimming my light to try to get proper DLI?
Currently at 22" above soil at 50% intensity and still getting ~50DLI at Germ/Seedling stage (too high?). It's a 240W LED. Do I keep dimming the light or do I change light schedule (24h currently) to get proper DLI?

How to make stronger smell and flavour in DWC grows?
Hi guys. Just harvested my second ever harvest, and 2nd time with DWC. Using HPS, then CMH for last 2 weeks I'm really happy with buds, but the smell is a little less intense that I would like. I have used Cannaboost, which is supposed to increase flavour but I want more! :)

Flowering lights never turned off
Power outage messed with my system and lights didn't shut off. Need a little advice. Should I just stick to the original schedule and she will just get 30 hours of light for one day or should I turn them off.

Are there any recommendations for a light schedule for autoflowering?
I leave them at 24 hours. I start with the seedlings at 18000 Lux and increase it till the 4th week. After the 4th week I have all my lights at full power and the top buds have around 55.000 to 90.000 Lux.

WHAT IS CAUSING MY LEAVES TO CURL? (Day 64 pictures)
The leaves at the top of the plant seem to be curling up. My first guess is that there is too much light. I recently moved my light down to 12 inches above the canopy. The PPFD should still be under 1,000, but I don't know what else could be causing it. Please help. 🙏

Does my LED need more red spectrum for flowerin?
I have an HLG 100v2 LED grow light at 4000K. They say 3000K is better for flowering. Does it make any sense for me to add some cheap red LED strips to add red spectrum? I’d rather not buy another more expensive light if I can just supplement this one. See picture.

Light strength
2 of my autos have been harvested and now I just have 1 mature plant mid flower and I've started my 3 other seedlings. I've got a tsw 2000 w/310 wts. Should I keep my lights at 100% for maximum growth or should I back off a touch to say 75 or 80%?
