Light pointed at white wall for supplemental lighting?
mexycomeback
started grow question 6y ago
Does it makes sense to have a small 300W COB LED pointed at the white flat painted wall for supplemental lighting? If I point the light directly at the plants I would surely burn them but have no space to move back.

Yo uso esos cobs pequeños para dar luz lateral directa a las plantas, algunos los acerco hasta 10cm y todo va bien.

plus, you are doubling the distance, but that may be the reason you do it...

Not the most efficient, but if angling it at the plant from side is too close, you getting post the light (~90%) off one bounce. 81% second bounce...

Right lighting at day 6 - fluo or HI as both available
Right lighting at day 6? Very happy that all germination looking good on day 6 from seed. I could either continue with this compact fluorescent bulb (15 cm from tiny first leaf) for another week or two OR switch to full HI 1500W immediately (30cm from plant) Thanks!

LED Wattage confusion!?!?!?!?!
In a few days, I will be putting these into a 4ftx4ft grow tent. Im a little concerned as my Lights say 1000w but on further research, it says actual wattage 140. does this mean I only have 280w and is that going to be enough?

When did the flowering start?
The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?

How to tell if light is damaging plant?
I'm using a Mars Hydro Ts600. Manufacturers advice is to keep height at 12'' minimum above the canopy in flower but other growers report it can hang as low as 10''. In identifying optimum height how would I be able to tell if it was too low for my plants? What should Iook for?

Mars hydro 600 lights not going fully out
Hi everyone I'm having issues with my LED mars hydro 600w when the timer is going to 'off' the lights are still very dim, with the plant being a photo period I'm worried the dimmed lights won't let the plant sleep and shock it or keep it in veg. Has anyone had this issue?
