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

dli 40x40 growbox lamp distance problem
hi guys, I have a ts1000 at a distance of 50cm they tell me to lower it to 40cm but the dli would greatly exceed (60 dli photone) the recommended threshold of 40/45. Having a 40x40 growbox, in your opinion, at what distance should I keep the lamp?

How to manage a tall plant with a thick stem in week 1 of flowering?
One plant I ordered online was pre-grown. Now, it’s about 20 cm taller than my other plants. At the top, the taller plant gets more than 1000 PPFD, while the lower canopy gets about 500 PPFD. It’s currently week 1 of flowering. The stem is too thick to bend down.What would youdo?

Would this be an upgrade or downgrade?
Currently using a 400w HPS on a 18/6 schedule for my autoflower. I've just seen this being sold on FB and wondered whether this might be as efficient/better/worse than what I already have Appreciate that it's a 'budget' light, but still looks pretty good 🤷♂️🏼

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! :)

qu'elle est le plus important à prendre en compte le nombre de lux ou le PPFD/DLI
lux, ppfd et dli. en faisant j'ai réalisé qu'il était dur d'avoir un ppfd entre 500 et 1000 pour la phase plantule sans dépasser les fameux 7000lux on approchent plutôt les 25000lux si on veux atteindre le ppfd souhaitable pour cette phase. comment faite vous?
