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

Is closer to the light much better?Is the light closer better? I have a VIPARSPECTRA 1000W LED Grow Light (10W LED ,x100) and it says during veg 18-26 and flowering distance at 18-24”. Looking at other growers using LED they are closer. Should I try to keep it closer a little at a time? Is there benefit?Setup. Lighting

Tipps, Beleuchtung, Mars Hydro, dimmerI got myself a Mars Hydro Fc-evo 6500 that's coming soon. Is there anything I should keep in mind or does anyone have tips on how you set up your lights? I also got the iconnect to plan it better, but this is my first dimmable light ✌️

Колличество светаCan anyone explain why all the guides and manuals say that autoflowers need 500mmol/cm2 during flowering while photoperiods need 700, when in reality, under sunlight, the plant in the wild gets 1400-1600? Why not give the same amount of light to plants indoors?Week 9

HLG 550 V2 RSpec power/height in flowerI’m using an HLG 550 V2 RSpec in a 3x3 tent over one Universal Kush plant. Anyone have experience growing with this light in a similar setup? What’s the best height from plant and intensity level should I set the light to? Don’t want to stress her, just want ideal light levels.Week 3

Light burn2 fairly new leaves at top (opposite ends) seem to show signs of light burn (yellow tips). They recently turned a bit more green but the tips are still quite yellow. Light = 13 inches away. PAR 370 at center, 350 on sides. DLI=~ 22.5. CO2 bag in tent (at about 620). Thoughts?

26 hour day cycle?ever done a weird light cycle for photo plants? like 14 hours of light then 12 hours of darkness then keep repeating I know that this is longer than a normal 24hour day.
1. 12 hours of darkness is what makes weed start flower. Do weeds know days r 24hr? Can a 26hr day cycle workSetup. Lighting

lightsHow do you use plant LED lights? I am using the BESTVA 3000, which has separate growth and bloom lights. After flowering begins, should I use both the growth and bloom lights together, or only the bloom lights?
