M420_GROWSstarted grow question 4 years ago
Currently I only got 2 x 50W / 5000K flood lights for veg and approx 150W / 2700K later for flowering. Both LED. Planning to keep lights close to plant - 35-45cm.
Do you think its going to be sufficient or should I get professional lights asap?

Dude I use led bulbs and they work great. The issue you have in your setup is that your light is more appropriate for a 2x2 tent (60cm x 60cm). Keep in mind that for veg you need 25 to 30 watts per sq ft at least and for bloom 30 to 40 watts per sq ft. IF you really want to take advantage of your DS 90 tent, you need like 250 watts for veg and 350 watts to 500 watts for bloom (I'm giving you rough numbers)

Heya!
That should be okay for one plant in my opinion. Usually they say 100W a plant or 30W/sq for of QB or COB leds for flower or upwards of 50W/sq ft with blurple leds.
Anything more and you will want more light.
Cheers !

Weak full spectrum led place in front of window enough to finish bloom?The weather looks really bad so i guess i need to take her inside a lot. I place her inside a barn in front of the glass door but she still hasnt there much light there. I ordered a 40 Watt full spectrum LED to add on the sunlight. Just read "used power 10 W" Will that be enough

Efficient lightingKeeping both 200w VEG and 300w FLOWER lights 24h is too expensive for my alien wallet. So I left the veg light under 12h/12h and flower on.
Please share with me some of your past experiences and how can I save money and grow killer yields.

Small light/ big tentI just upgraded tents. It’s a 4x4x7 foot tent. I have a Mars Hydro TS1000. I know that’s not enough for that tent. But I have a plant in its 2nd week of flower that out grew the last tent. Is it ok to just keep that light above that one plant in that size tent? Thanks!!

Power and distanceOk so......
This is a Mars Hydro TSW2000 specific question.
1, When should i go 100% with the light as far as plant age is concerned?
2, I've seen various distance tables that all vary so i'm asking TSW2000 growers specifically what their distances are for Autos.
Many thanksWeek 5

Lights too close?While trying to figure out why my plant is so dwarf like I realized it might be the height of my lights. They’ve stayed that position ever since installed them. The problem is they’re basically at the ceiling of my box. Is my set up limiting its growth too?
