Light Distance - 3 plants are taller than the others...
FrankieBonesstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi all. So I have 6 plants with a 400w HID. 3 of them are about 10-15CM taller than the others. My light is currently about 45CM from the top of the tallest one. Would this affect the shorter plants negatively? Should I raise them to the same level and up the light to 60CM rather

Personally, I would just do some LST bending to even off the canopy. That said, the small difference in light won't cause any noticeable issues.
FrankieBonesanswered grow question 4 years ago
Thanks to both of you. I am scared of doing LST due to their age, and being Auto's... Should I be?

I would try to train the taller plants so the canopy is even across all the plants. A combination of LST and super cropping would work great.

Confused with light schedules for outdoor growingHi fellow growers, I'm really confused with light schedules for outdoor growing.
Everywhere I see 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flowering.
However at my place I get ~13hours of daylight (not always sunlight)
Would my plants get into flowering if daylight is reduced to ~11 hours?

DIY QB - Which SMD LED's to and not to useHey I was thinking to make a quantum board from scratch but there are not much type of smd led's I could find online. So wanted to ask you guys if that would be a good idea or I should not even think about it? I can have enough of smd 3020 to do this but the last word is yours..

Is that possible to do grow light with Samsung LED strips?Going deeper into idea of doing the quantum board from scratch but instead SMD LED's there are lots of strip LED options. So I want to ask you guys if I have an aluminum plate with a heat sink and coolers, can I fix those stripts there? Or can I rip them off with a heat gun?Setup. Lighting

Shifting outdoor plants from outdoor to indoorSo I was wondering if outdoor plants(week 2) getting regular sunlight (~12-13 hours) can be shifted indoors for faster growing (18/6 or 24/0 or 20/4)?
Anyone tried before? it is safe? Will it cause to make them hermaphrodite?Week 1

Keep LED strip or remove?So this is a space tub grow, other than the above head light it has a 3500k led strip running around the sides(around 4 meters) is it worth keeping this lighting? I'm only running a 150 watt growstar led ufo, which is fine for my canopy but my bottom isn't nearly as dense.Week 9

Should I flip?I’ve got my plants in 2gal fabric pots and I’m not planning on transplanting up. The plants are averaging about 8/9” and I’m starting to see small roots out the bottom. Should I flip to flowering, or can I get away with another week of veg?

Light is about 30% Power, about 30 inches away. I previously had it about 26 inches and raised when I noticed this issue about 24 hrs ago. Pics are updated.

Light height full power vs dimmedHi, with light height, does it make a difference to the plant if I'm at full brightness and further away vs dimmed and closer? I'm going to start running out of tent space soon so I'm expecting I'll need to dim in late flower. I think it's ok just looking for assurance :)

New update got my new grow light dialed in.. And the nutes helped a lot seen more growth in one day than I had in the last 23 days!
I am worried that if I place the light at the recommended height (6”) that would be too much so I’m running the lights at 50% power and at 12” away
