GooseGrowerstarted grow question 5 years ago

my grow setup consists of two trashcans. One for veg (3x 45w bright white cfls), and a larger one for flowering. I do not have a light for the flowering trashcan as my plants are still in veg stage however I am in need of a cheap flowering light fixture. Any recomendations?

18x18? 24x24? obviously diameter in this case... check out thos spider farmer lights, might be good for that footprint, and an efficient option. it'll save you money every month you use it compared to many other options at roughly the same price. compare efficacy.. if they don't show it, assume it is horrid. umol/s per joule or whatever... lol.. it'll stand out as such. get something with samsung lm301 diodes and you'll be rocking. even if slightly more now, it'll pay for the difference in 1 year or less, in this context.. less i bet, compared to the cheapies you can find, plust grow better bud clsoer to 1.5g per watt.

Light distance and power with a 205W Sanlight LED Sanlight told me I should use it dimmed at 80% and 45cm when in flowering. I was aiming to reach lower buds so I put it at 100% and 50cm from the upper buds. The tips of the leaves are slightly burned but no bud bleaching yet like my last run (at 100% 45cm). What's best ? Thx !

OK to switch from 12/12 to 18/6 for auto in flower?Is it OK to switch an auto from 12/12 to 18/6 when in flower (2 weeks)? I moved the plants from the attic which was way too hot and tried the 12/12 schedule to reduce the heat. Now that they are in an AC spare room wondering if it would be worth switching. Appreciate the support!

Short plants in flowering Flowering started but the plants still seem a bit short. Maybe too much or too close light? Or something else? Tried avoiding light off because its hard controlling the rise of humidity.
