Hello
I’m growing a royal dwarf auto. I grew in the first stage with a cheap 50w con led and now I changed with a 120w lm561c quantum board led. The plant is blooming now and I put the qb at 30 cm from the plant but she was starting dropping. Is it possible that the plant need to get accustomed to the new light before to be so close? Now it is at 50cm and she’s fine

I have no pics because I didn’t take when happened. And I don’t think they were sleeping cause when light is off normally they’re not like that. For me it’s ok to leave at 18” but I’m afraid that’s not sufficient for a good blooming. Here it is right nowEB2F2285-3929-4356-AD6A-54719BA7448B.png

Thats too low even for a 12 hour flower, with more time lights on for even more time (24hours?) youre making it worse. 24" id say. And dont switch light like that, in mid cycle. You need to start high and only lower after you see healthy new growth. This plant is shocked and might remain so for a long time.

Yes your right.

Make sure you get your temps upp, for leds 81-84F, this also helps tto protect against light shock.

I'm using 6/2 cycle

It still would be equivalent of 18hrs a day, at 12" (about 6") lower than normally reced, for a small plant. Check out DLI, daily light integral.

Womdpz what's up with the 6/2 light cycle? Will it flower quicker or produce more?

Thanks

I can’t say that, is an auto and it’s still flowering. I’ll wait the harvest to say something. Anyway The plant Seems to be grateful

I lowered the light, now it’s at 40 cm but something strange it’s happening: the main cola is going well but the secondary cola, smaller than the first one, is drooping. How’s that possibile? Or is it just fine?5D0C6E0E-C668-426F-8BDA-317EE5C61111.png
