I always suggest a 18/6 light schedule. It saves on power usage and also gives your girls time to recover from their hard day. Some people have no issues With 24 hr light phase but it's all a personal preference! Cheers and happy growing!

18/6 is all you need for veg. Can run 24 hours if you like,won't hurt your plant

Lighting. Increase or stay the same?
Hi, I'm thinking about increasing lighting to 100%... is it too soon? Currently at 60% 20 inches away (manufacturers recommendation.) I'm thinking 100% but staying at 20 inches away.. what's your thoughts? Too soon? (12" - 18" 100% for veg manufacturers guidelines)

Ich habe mir von Amazon eine Lampe bestellt wahrscheinlich wird sie nicht die Superleistung haben aber ich dachte mir falls ich mal Blüte mache und ich doch noch ein paar Samlinge habe könnte ich diese trennen. Was haltet ihr davon ? Momentan dient sie nur als Unterstützung

Have to hide my lovevly plant, what to do?
Funny question, my landlord has to come over to check some stuff in my flat. I'll obviously have to hide it but it will change the light schedule, it's gonna be longer in the dark (probably around 3hours more). Is it a problem? Can i hide the plant somewhere without hurting it?

Plug timer running fast
My 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.

LED Light Spacing
So my taller plants are starting to get bright green on top. My light is 25” from the tops. I measured today, and if I keep the lights that far away during flowering, I hardly have any space to grow them taller. It’s a 6’8” tent. The bloom light also isn’t on yet. What do I do?

Can someone please show me a proper setup guide for hanging grow lights?
I recently purchased a Vivosun Smart grow system, but this is my first tent and the booklet just says "tie light up top" with a ratchet hook system. I wont be able to adjust height without tons of extra work, can someone assist me?

Kind LED XL600 series 2 heights?
Hey, I’m running 2x Kind Led xL600 series 2 lights and seen people running much much lower hanging heights than recommended (18inch instead of 30inch) and wondered if anyone has any PPFD or PAR readings at anything lower than 30inch or any reasons why they run them lower. Thanks

Hps mixed with mars hydro 600 yield?
Hey all! So i been thinking about ways to cut heat of course lol. So I’m thinking about getting a mars hydro 600 and running it with my 400w hps at 250w on the dimmer. Do you guys think I will yield about the same as if I was just running the hps on super lumens?

I Made a Big Mistake
I forgot the timer open and the plant has been lighting for 2 days now. Normally I have to turn the lights off at 6 pm. What should I do? Should I wait until 6pm? Or should I turn it off and switch to a new light schedule? Photoperiod - 5th Week of Flowering Phase
