Will these leds be beneficial to the plant? How about LST?
Sleeping_farmerstarted grow question 4 years ago
After that nutes burn i dont want to stress her much more, as an auto flower i know her days are counted, so i know i only have about max 2 week until flower starts so wish to make a small defoliation next week and no more LST until pre-flower.
Is this correct?How about the leds?

Hey friend,
Usually more light is always better as long as it's not over heating and burning them...but theres always a max amount of ppfd a plant can handle and it varies plant to plant.
I would do the defoliation once you see pistils forming, right around the 1st week of flowering. And it should do a nice boost of growth when flowering starts. I also think defoliating the bottom, is best..if you don't want a bunch or popcorn buds.
Also any chance you can get the heat down a few degrees? Maybe 78-80?
And this is just personal opinion...but I think all living things benefit from sleep or rest...maybe taking your light hours down to 20/4 versus 24 hours would give a little relaxation and lots of plants do an amazing amount of growing during their dark hours. Just a thought.
Good luck with the grow. ✌️

Do I need to lower my lights?Do I need to lower my lights? I'm using a Kingbrite 240W Samsung lm301h and I just went into flowering period. I think the light is a bit overpowered for the room, so I've left it at about 21 inches above the tops of the plant. At this distance, all areas are getting 27k lux.

Should i take off the hooks (LST)Someone here told me that it is not fair to lay the girls on the ground as i did, because the leaves touches the soil.
Should i set them free to go up and continue the LST once the plant is some centimetres up?
Or should i leave it like this and keep going? I dunno what to do.

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.

How to measure lumens of a full spectrum LED light.Since a lux meter only measures certain spectrums of light, how do I use a lux meter to determine the right height of my full spectrum grow light? I have it at the recommended distance but I have signs of light stress. Bleaching of some upper leaves. I moved it up 4 more inches?Week 4

How to tell if light is damaging plant?I'm using a Mars Hydro Ts600. Manufacturers advice is to keep height at 12'' minimum above the canopy in flower but other growers report it can hang as low as 10''. In identifying optimum height how would I be able to tell if it was too low for my plants? What should Iook for?Week 8

Max 180w LED output for 2x4x6 tent with 3 plants. Good enough?I have a 3-chip 1000W LED with a max output of 180w (Veg 125w, Bloom 55w):
I'm growing autos in a 2x4x6 tent. I'd like to grow 3 plants at a time. Do I need another grow light? Will the one I have suffice?

Should I defoliate after topping with LST ?I just did my first topping and she took it very well, no signs of stress and actually growing really fast I think.
I was thinking about LST the top colas so the lower ones can reach that height, should I cut the top leaves shadowing the lower future colas?

Fuck. First week of 12-12 and I almost accidentally top this plant. Broke the stem enough to cause it to bleed on one side. Think it will hold/heal?Accidentally broke one side of this stem while attempting LST through a lattice. My idea was, instead of simply topping, to bend the plant downwards into the lattice to keep it down. Problem I'm trying to solve is plants keep growing too close to lights. Thoughts? ✌️

Review this model or help me create a DIY COB plus IR plus UVB grow light.I've very limited variety of lights in this country so this is all I can find. Also there are no suppliers who provide spectrum charts or any temperature values for those lights. My goal is to make it with the best possible light spectrum. Having IR's also will help on cold days.
