Efficient lighting
Keeping both 200w VEG and 300w FLOWER lights 24h is too expensive for my alien wallet. So I left the veg light under 12h/12h and flower on. Please share with me some of your past experiences and how can I save money and grow killer yields. 👋👽

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.

Lighting coverage
Will my viparspectra xs1500 have enough coverage once these plants get larger? Or will I need supplemental lighting? And if I do need more, am I better off getting the larger model, or just getting another identical unit so that I have 2?

GTMAR 1000watt full spectrum light
I bought a gtmar full spectrum 1000 watt light off amazon, does it really put off 1000watts?? My 4 plants look great except I can tell that some of the under foliage isn’t quite getting enough light, I’m doing some LST.

Hi! I have just changed to 12/12 bloomtime for my girls. I have a wifi-cam installed so I can check in on them when I want. It has night vision so there are a few red dots(led) from the IR. Can they cause trouble nighttime?
