That being said, between the two lights you put up, I like the Mars Hydro better still. They're both 100w but the Mars light has the reflective hood, it's cheaper, and I trust their brand. It's also has better PAR readings at the edges of where your tent will be.
The8thChevronanswered grow question 4 years ago
For the best results, I would recommend the Mars Hydro TSW 1000. It's about double the price of the 600, but it will pay for itself in the extra yield on your first grow. I use the TSW 2000 in my 4x4 and my plants and I love it.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

What is that?Yesterday evening feed 0.5 litre EC 1400 pH 5.9. Runoff was EC 900 pH5.6
Increased light intensity to PPFD 600.
This morning larger upper leaves are in "praying" position, one leaf closer to bottom looks sick.
If it's a light burn, why not on upper leaves?

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

DeformationHello friends, how are you?
I have a big question about one of my plants. Right after the appearance of the first two pairs of leaves, I noticed it's not doing very well. It's now 15 days old and seems to be starting to flower.
