Prop the little ones up on buckets or something so they are the same height and getting good light.

Just to make sure I’m doing everything right I’m going to post what I’m doing right now on this thread for documentation for myself. I’m swapping light cycle right now from 18/6 to 12/12
I usually run the light from 6pm to 12pm so I’ll swap it to 6pm to 6am

Over the next week want to increase intensity slowly to make up for a shorter light period. Pay attention to the top leaves. The first few sets can have a slight V but if the start to fold stop increasing. Just a little each day.

What do you mean Increase intensity my light is maxed out to 100% on the dial. Do you mean lower the light?

I don’t have android so
I looked on the App Store and just got a app like that one. So do I point this at my plants? Or do I point it at my light

Some phones do not work well... screen covers can also affect them... may not be a good tool for you.

Yep that will work... you will use it a few times and it will collect dust once you learn your light. But if you ever get a new one it will be handy.
