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

UV led strip
Has anyone tried or knows if there are any benefits to adding a UVA/UVB led strip? I currently have a 18w strip on one side of the growbox as a test, the specifications should be as follows: http://www.ledlightinghut.com/files/365nm%20UV%20SMD5050%20LED%20datasheet.pdf

Posible quemadura?
Cada vez que entro en floración me pasa esto y no encuentro solución. Uso una tienda de 1,20 x 1,20 y tengo un led de 730w empiezo a pensar que la luz es demasiado potente y las plantas sufren de calor. Hubo dos dias en los que llegó a 32 grados actualmente estoy en 29/30

WHICH LED LIGHTS MY FRIENDS?
Hi friends please advise me. I plan to go full LED on next run looking at spider farmer sf4000 lights are they the right lights to invest in and should I feel confident to invest in 6 of them as high end kit for my garden as they are more affordable than HLG 650r. Thanks friends.

Max 180w LED output for 2x4x6 tent with 3 plants. Good enough?
I have a 3-chip 1000W LED with a max output of 180w (Veg 125w, Bloom 55w): I'm growing autos in a 2x4x6 tent. I'd like to grow 3 plants at a time. Do I need another grow light? Will the one I have suffice?

Hello people, hope you all doing fine. So, I have 3 different light models, I´ve been using them individually for plants. I use only autos and adjust the light distance individually. Should I place all the lights in the roof togheter so all plants get the same amount of light?

NEED SOME ADVICE! Change to LED from HPS? which ones are good for tent size? Which ones are good for good yields?
I've got a 4x4 tent with 8 seedlings in cups but will be in 11L pots. Currently I had a 600w HPS light but my ballast busted today. I have a back up CFL 150W not to mess up the light schedule. Thinking about changing to LED lights, I know it'll be cheaper but I want same yield...

Light came on for about 30 seconds about 3 hours into the dark cycle
So Im 3 days into 12/12 and I bumped my timer last night and my light came on suddenly during the dark cycle. I immediately shut it right back off. Was I wrong in shutting it back off right away? Should I be worried about anything?

- I have a greenhouse ceiling that covers 50% of the terrace - should I grow the plants always under this ceiling, or if it is beneficial to expose the plants to direct sunlight? - If so, how old the plant has to be to expose it to the sunlight? I don't want to burn my seedling
