I have 2 plants in a 4×4 grow tent. One plant is under a 450w led viparspectra and the other plant under a viparspectra p2000 with adjustable dimmer. I just noticed on day 15 after flipp that the p2000 was only at 25% power but both plants are about the same in size. Will this have a significant impact on my quality? Both plants look healthy. Did havi g that other light in the tent might have saved me?

It may have but I would be doubtful on whether you are flowering yet.

Guess I should have asked, auto or photo?

He just left one of his lights on at 25% instead of full, as I understand. No disruption in the photoperiod. Just less photons, no big deal.
Ah right that makes sense, I read as a light had been left on at 25% during lights out time.

Cheers

first couple weeks? im assuming you started counting from day 1 of 12/12? thats actually what you want is less intensity at first. It will not effect your yield in any way as long as theyre getting hella light from this point forward

I recently left mine on for two weeks in the first 3 weeks of flower, so far so good, no dicks yet.although the stretch was somewhat affected. Not as much height as the last time(same strain), maybe shorter by 300mm.

it was the side lighting that was left on.

I'll say I'm surprised. No argument, you're flowering. Just keep an eye out for pollen sacs.
I misconstrued the situation. I thought he was saying he left one of his lights on(all day) at 25%. Not that it was running its light cycle at 25% my apologies.
I retract my previous response and agree with the consensus. It may have effected yield a tiny bit, but nothing to lose sleep over.
