Benefit? Yes. It'll mature faster. However, less light also means less energy to develop buds, so your yield would suffer a bit.

Lights went off and then on in flower [3rd week]
quick question, my breaker overloaded today and turned off power to my flowering tent. They were about 30 min away from lights out which I figure shouldn't be that bad, but while solving the power issue the lights came back on. Will they be affected and how? Thanks in advance

11/13 for flower
I need my grow to finish flowering ASAP, due to extenuating circumstances... I’ve read that flower can occur faster under 11/13 with some loss of yield. Does anyone have experience here? How much will yield and flowering time be influenced?

Removing plant from tent during light cycle in flower.
Just switched to 12/12 in my first ever grow. I know that any light penetrating during the 12 hours of dark screws with growth cycle, but if removing my plants from tent during light for defoliating and watering bad as well? In a lit room, just not as intense lighting

Light recommendation
what led light would you recommend for a Secret Jardin DS150W (77x150x200cm)? It need to have a remote driver and be full spectrum. It could also be 2 lights.

When growing auto flowers, is it ok to run 18/6 for the entire grow? Or should you do 12/12 during flower?

18/6 leads to high temps in small tent; change light schedule or stick it out?
Girls are at 18/6 and 3-4 hours before lights out the tent gets up to 90 degrees and humidity can’t compete. Should I wait it out or try 16/8 moving towards 12/12 close to flowering (autoflower). Will lowering light exposure affect yield more than high temps would at 18/6

Veg/Bloom switch
My plants are 5 weeks from germination, I have flowers and buds forming but I am starting to worry they aren't growing as they should (I want them bigger). I have had my light veg and bloom switches on throughout. Would you recommend I change over to just bloom switch now?

Increase light hours autoflower
My autoflowers are 6 weeks old and showing flowering signs. Can I increase the number of light hours from 17hrs to 20/22/24hrs? Does it cause light stress and can trigger vegetation or make it hermaphrodite?
