light dilemma
growbiestarted grow question 6y ago
When shine only with flower light, i reach 20,000 lux units in the buds area. But when i turn both lights on at once, both the growth and bloom spectre, the lux units increase to 65,000. I wonder if the extra growth light will affect the flowers that are already blooming. Thanks.

65000lux - great lighting for cannabis!!! It's better than 20,000lux!
Effective lighting ranges, starting from planting the plant:
Day 1 (250-500lux)
Day 2 (500-1000lux)
Day 3 (1000-2000lux)
After five pairs of leaves, full vegetation (2000-20000lux)
Flowering (20000-80000lux). In theory, the most optimal for flowering is considered to be (45000-65000lux). Try not to go above 90000 lux. Otherwise - 100% problems due to processes happening too actively in the plant!
Good luck, friend! ✊😇

Should use all your light but raise her so you have a nice even light over your canopy and your hand underneath the lights the height of your plants feels comfortable, not hot, if you have the meter then go by that for distance. Cheers

Can I use 18 on 6 off during flower when growing autoflowers and using ViparSpectra KS5000 LED at 100% power?I have a tent with a ViparSpectra KS5000 LED lights. If I am growing autoflowers and they are in the flower stage do I have to change the light/dark schedule from 18 on/6 off to 12 on/12 off or will it be ok to keep the lights on a 18/6 schedule since they are autoflowers?Week 4

Light distance and power with a 205W Sanlight LEDSanlight 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 !

New Light? Find a way to raise light? More Fans? Combination? (Light: 44" above ground level | Tent Height: 63" Day avg: 78.6f) Should i worry?What do you guys recommend as far as lighting for this tent? I have a 300w led light but at the height it's currently at it is producing a large amount of heat with my exhaust and two oscillating fans? I also have other plants in with my seedling so could the humidity cause it?

Flower LightDo you think this would be a good flowering light (on a budget) for a 4’x4’x80” - 1000 watt (5 plants - indoors - all hybrids ... if that matters)

Led Grow lightsI have a viperspectra xs4000 light 480 watts I am running it at around 25% on the dimmer switch and my lights are about 24" from my canopy. I've noticed some of my pistols wilting and looking stressed. Should I try to move my lights higher or continue dimming them down more?Week 8

New house - new light!Since I'm moving in a month or two I'm gonna buy a new light for vertical growing for celebration!
I'm still going to use the 80x80 but I'll have some space in a separate room, more comfy..
Which light is better for a vertical grow?
