Tikihoofdstarted grow question 4 years ago
I might have a silly question, but here goes:
I've found some lights I have left in my garage, and since I would like to upgrade my setup, I would like to know if these lights could function as grow lights.
The light=> Osram Highbay HQL LED E40 140W
Thanks!👽

I did some research on your hql led..the only 140w I found was the 140w e40 840..these last 2 digits refer to the the light spectrum so this would be a 4000k (cool white)so it’s could be useful in veg
In flower you want a 865
6500k (warm white)
but I can’t find anything on ppfs and I’m not so familiar with led..

Well you can always try!
I think it depends on the PPFD and light spectrum. If it is not efficient you are just heating the place with 140W lamp without giving that much more to the plants.
My hunch is that this will be good to add if there aint any other problems like heat etc and it will give you atleast something more!

Light burn2 fairly new leaves at top (opposite ends) seem to show signs of light burn (yellow tips). They recently turned a bit more green but the tips are still quite yellow. Light = 13 inches away. PAR 370 at center, 350 on sides. DLI=~ 22.5. CO2 bag in tent (at about 620). Thoughts?

Bend Her Over?Any chance of super cropping a thriving auto on day 42? She hasn’t flinched at training yet; and got hacked on. I’m running out of vertical space with some developing runners. She’s going to stretch a bit yet, and currently 12” from light with 650 PPFD. Bend, or not to bend?a year ago

Grow Light distanceDoes it matter what heights I have my grow light at as long as my pfd is where I want it? For example could I have it closer and less power or do I want it further with more power. Feel like it would be better for the light the less power being used.Week 4
