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...

Grow lamp setting veg or bloom or both?
For my grow lamp settings this early on should I be using the VEG And Bloom spectrums simultaneously? Or just leave in Veg? Since these are Autos I wasn't sure if switching the spectrums was as important as maximizing light.

Switching from led to hps for flower?
Howdy, does anyone switch from a blurple led board for veg, to a hps or similar style light for flower? Why, why not? Is it worth the little extra hassle to buy and install? I like my led just fine, but wondering if there’s more to be gained in flavor, quality & yield. Thanks!
