Can too much light in Veg cause EC to skyrocket?
ZhugeTsukistarted grow question 4 years ago
Hello everyone, I have 4 plants in a 3x3 area under three of these lights - https://amzn.to/2MhseVH
360w all together which is what I expected to use during flower, I didnt realise that you dont need to use as much during veg, all plants have had to be flushed with EC's at 10

Looks like you already did what you need to do, flush. Looks like overfeed or lockout starting from salts building. The longer plants are in veg the more problems can arise. Doesn't look like to much light, I run 2000 watts HID lighting in late veg and plants do amazing., no I'll effects. Just great big buds when they start flowering. Cheers

Hi there!
If the ec of the run off is really high then it is not because of the lights but its strain related. every plant neeeds different amount of nutes and the light intenisty has some role in this but still if the ec is 10 you arer just giving them way too much nutes.
Fort example potassium (K) is needed more when there is less light and needed slightly ness when there is more light etc. but still the lights dont play that big role in this so ease up on your nutes!

General question about raising lights.Gotta question for what most of you are doing to raise your lights?
Currently I've just set it static and move as needed. But I'm curious if anyone has a easier method or know of anything made to aid in the raising of the LED light fixtures ?

Above are two SF1000D lights.

Best LampsDear fellow growers! I kindly ask you to give me strong advice on LED lighting.
Specifically, which COMPANY and MODEL is currently THE BEST. For plants, of course - not for the wallet.
Price and economic considerations are also important to me, but not the most. Thanx & regardsSetup. Lighting

Light ScienceHas anyone watched some Youtube videos by Dr Bruce Bugbee from Apogee Instruments? I find his lectures on lighting to be the most straight forward explanations I have heard yet. I found his vid called "The New 400-750 nm ePAR Range Explained with Dr. Bruce Bugbee" to be eye opening on lighting colours. I have changed my LED's based on a few of his vids. He explains what plants really want and those Burple lights just don't cut it.
For those that don't know he is a professor at the University of Utah that legally studies cannabis growth.
He takes the science of weed grow to a whole new level.Setup. Lighting

Lights went off and then on in flower [3rd week]quick question, my breaker overloaded today and turned off power to my flowering tent. They were about 30 min away from lights out which I figure shouldn't be that bad, but while solving the power issue the lights came back on. Will they be affected and how?
Thanks in advanceWeek 6

LED light distanceHey guys I'm kind of new to growing only been doing it for a little over a year. My girls grow really well they just don't get very tall I'm thinking it's because my lights are too close. Is this correct? Distance is 9 inches above canopy in week 6 growing critical 2.0 autos.
