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.

I use those small cobs to give direct side light to the plants, I bring some as close as 10cm and everything is going well.

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...

Culture rapide
Plus, I'm a fan of quick cultivation, I grow in SOG giving 2-3 weeks of growth with a lighting schedule of 20/04. And now in my new box, I plan to put 9 pots of 7L. And often dominant indica, like the strain that makes me smile right now, Gelato.

Hello fellow growers :D thx a lot Firstly, is the reason why my plants (especially cookies) are very slightly curling/folding at the ends of the leaves because the LED is too powerful?(Reason to be worried?) Secondly, should I start adding nutrients? Just 1/4 of Bio-grow for now?

Colour lighting
Thanks to eveyone that replied to my last question, really means a lot! Another quick question about lighting I had was if I should have blue light for veg then red for flower or just have the mixed purple on for the duration of the plants life?

LED's wont shut completely off
Lights seem to go on a "standby mode" instead of being all the way shut when timers switch them off. Should I buy some other timers? These were brand new, cheap ones though and both the same. Lights are HLG 600 RSPEC and both did this.

Lightning question
Hey, Growers! This week I had to open together the two boxes, so now all the plants have both kind of lights. Do you think, it can have a negative effect on them, or maybe it's good at least for the 140cm height White Widow,because the bottom parts get some more light from there?

the light came on by accident at night
Hello! The light in the grow box accidentally turned on for 10 minutes while I was sleeping. Is this too harmful for the two autoflowers? Will they become hermaphrodites?
