Which light for a newbie with limited height?
WeedSmellerstarted grow question 5y ago
I only have 3ft of height to work with in my grow area. I have been looking at the 2x2ft and 2x3ft tents. Which light will give me the best quality buds? I've been looking at Mars Hydro and Spider Farmer.

Hello.. Hope you are well.. I use both.. In 1 tent i use sf600x2 and in my other i use sp150x2.. Personally i prefer the mars brand.. Apparently the efficiency is a bit better on the sf's but i have noticed they produce more heat as they dont have a cooling rack like the sp.. Also the sp150 are very well built lights,u cant go wrong with 2 or 3 of these bad boys in a small grow space.. Stay safe n gud luck with ur gardening activities.. 👍🍀

I like my Mars Hydro TS1000 very much. You can remove the ballast and mount it outside the tent to reduce heat. Also with it's slim design you could mount it virtually to the roof as long as you've got some fan hitting it for cooling.... Never used the SF products but I have heard good things.... Hope this helps. Happy growing ✌️👊

6 weeks of veg? I got only 3Why do i see some auto or non auto diaries with 6 week of veg?
When i grew non auto i just had them 3 weeks then switch the light time and changed 400w to a 600w. I learned that because they used to get hella big. And in Auto seeds i switch the spectrum after 3 weeksWeek 7

Need to upgrade grow lightI'm looking to buy a stronger light for around 200$ that can adequately cover a 4x5 space for veg/flower. I've been researching for weeks but can't decide. I'm currently running with two TOAD LED Grow Lights 600W, actual watts 85. They are Blurples. Any suggestions?Week 4

Back To 24 Hour Light - Auto FlowersMy autos switched from 24 hour light to 16 about 2 weeks ago to see if it would help make them bloom faster. Can I turn them back onto 24 hours or could that mess things up? I would like the most amount of light time. They should have 2 more weeks left

What % to keep lights at during late vegMy question was around what power % I should have my lights at? My light is 300watts so I am assuming 50% = 150watts?
Is this enough to continue vegging my plant? I have noticed the growth isn't as vigorous.

couple quick questionsDo I need to close the flap to the vent during dark cycles? (Lights off during the day) and should I block lights coming from fan power, humidifier, dehumidifier, or indicator lights?
Also do I need to use the carbon filter the whole time?

Slight leaf tip "burn"What do you think is causing this burn on my leaves? It seems to be quite common. and maybe nothing to worry about if it's this minute. but I would prefer to not burn my plants at all if possible. Could it be a sign of underwatering? Light distance? i have a dimmer keepin at 10002y ago

Plug timer running fastMy plug timeris running about 10 fast each 24hr. And is now at about 2 hours past the actual time. This causes the light cycle to shift forward slightly everyday. Should I set it back to the correct time, leave it be or buy a new one? It is plugged vertically in wall socket.

Best grow light for a 3.5x3.5?I'm disappointed with my last yield and belive its cause of the light.
Want to invest in a better product. Which one do you think will produce the biggest yield with 4 autos in a 3.5×3.5 feet wide tent?
- Lumateck Attis 300W
- Mars Hydro TSW 2000 300W
