i would recomend maybe 25% and keep it 12" at seedling to keep from stretching then up it 50-75% @ 18" veg and then crank it to 100% for flower and use the photone app or get a par meter (if you have the money) to check ppfd and adjust height

Led on 18/6 grow/flower photoperiodI have the idea to put a led in my second tent for pre growing photoperiod girls, I have some room left over for some autoflowers who also grow & flower on 18/6 light - leds can switch between grow/flower.
If I switch the led to flower will that be OK for my photoperiod girls?Setup. Lighting

MARS HYDRO TS600 LIGHT STILL ON WHEN TIMER SWITCHES OFFit is a known problem i found 2 forum posts discussing it.
Different timers have been tried but it always remains the same.
Someone said with a mechanical timer the problem is solved I will try that as soon as I have one.
In any case, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Light cyclehi everyone, I wanted to ask if now that I am at week 6, if it would be better to switch to cycle 18/6? since it broke the ground it is doing 20/4 but I thought that maybe in flowering it needs more rest. thank you all for your help and good growth🌱💚

Wich of those cheap lights would be advised under 200€ and that would fit both final vegging state and flowering?
The grow space is 80cmx80cmx160cm and keeping in mind that the weather along with the lack of ventilation budget limits my options to colder leds.
Thanks in advanceWeek 1

Come flower time around august id like to do the same thing. Will this stress them? And will this effect how much par I need to drive down on them?Setup. Lighting
