Tikihoofdstarted grow question 5 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!š½

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 itās could be useful in veg
In flower you want a 865
6500k (warm white)
but I canāt find anything on ppfs and Iām 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!

Help with issues IDI have a photoperiod in a 5 gal using BAS light. It is currently day 3 of week 4 , and I'm getting some damage on the tops. Would this be light stress or another issue? The tips are starting to go light green. Using the 200 watt light for the 2x4x8 ac infinity tent.

Do you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?So Iām in mid flower, start of week 7 to be exact. Iām curious on when you guys start pulling back light intensity and going with a little cooler temps. Iām running a 240W S33 from AC infinity in a 3x3.
Should I be going strictly off of PAR or VPD at this point.Setup. Lighting

How many plants in a 70x70x160cm tent with 100W?Hello, I have a grow tent kit 2x2 with a 100W 301H EVO Spider Farmer light. I have put there three 11L pots. But now I realize the size/light of my tent might not be enough. Could I manage by adding an additional 60W lamp you reckon or is it best to discard at least 1 plant? Thx

UV LED slowing down growth? Sorry previous question without the question!The plant has a rectangular area in the middle where it is not growing as quickly. The difference is almost 10cm. I suspect the lamp. Could it be that the centrally installed UV LEDs are causing this? They should grow more inside because of more light.

Stretchy seedlings...worried!Hi, I have 5 seedlings on day 7. 2 of them are going fine but the three from ditch passion were very stretchy though. Likely due to having the light to far away. Take a look, any advise would be great. Cheers all!

Hight ProblemsIāve got 3 plants in my tent, but theyāre all different heights. To compensate, Iāve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?
