LevyResidentstarted grow question 6y ago

Just changed from a full spectrum LED (150watt) to a mainly red LED (300watt) as my plant is entering full flowering stage, is this a good idea?

Hey there 👋 You are absolutely right to have made the switch. Though I’d say hit them with the lights full power and keep both switches on. I tend to use only use bloom for the first two weeks. After that it’s both switches to really utilize the lights potential Happy Growing 🌱

Grow Light for 3x3 tent Looking for a good grow light for a 3x3 flower tent. -Price is not an issue -Low heat since I am venting into my living area. -Even light distribution. I plan on doing a SCROG so having the same light intensity on the edges as the center would be best.

Hello fellow growers :D thx a lot Firstly, is the reason why my plants (especially cookies) are very slightly curling/folding at the ends of the leaves because the LED is too powerful?(Reason to be worried?) Secondly, should I start adding nutrients? Just 1/4 of Bio-grow for now?

Hi, can anyone tell me if it's normal, or why those lower branches are stretching so much? I have only one 50w cob light. Which apparently produces equivalent to 150watt... Is that enough? I have only one plant and a very small grow box. Thanks for any advise :)
