New house - new light!
AlpineGoatstarted grow question 4 years ago
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?

growing weed in a vertical way...it is against how this plant grows. for sure you can do it, cannabis is highly adaptable, but the yields will be...very small. If you have a small space, try to learn and master the horizontal grow. Learn how to do some proper mainlining and a ScrOG and this will increase your yield. Vertical grow in 80x80 really not the best solution. You want bud site, not branches and leaves. CFLs are cute but need to be really close to the flowers (around 20-25 cm) and have not enough power in them and they emit lots of heat as well. Plants will be stretchy and buds will be airy.
Go after led lights in that space.

I like fluorescent grow lights for this personally. I feel you get much better coverage with a vertical fluorescent bulb.

Hey Mate,
To me is the only way it make sense if you have bulbs hanging downwards in a row. Similar to your first drawing.
You have to be careful, the ladies need a stable lightsource which always comes from the same dieection. If the ladies get light from different directions they get stressed and stunt, or turn hermie. Already had this exact situation last year. Bought 2 Sanlight Flex 10 and thought the more light, the better...🤯
All 4 plants went hermie...
From the 3rd week of bloom, when stretch is over it doesn't matter where the lights comin' from.. from this point they concentrate on budding up.
Good luck for the rest of the way🤘👍

Help with issues IDI have a photoperiod in a 5 gal using BAS light. It is currently day 3 of week 4 , and I'm getting some damage on the tops. Would this be light stress or another issue? The tips are starting to go light green. Using the 200 watt light for the 2x4x8 ac infinity tent.

About NutrientsHello, there are two issues I'm curious about. First of all, does A.N Revive benefit the plant during the transplant process? 👽
My other question is, do you prefer Carboload or Budcandy? Is there any extra benefit to using both together? 🙌Week 2

Do you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?So I’m in mid flower, start of week 7 to be exact. I’m curious on when you guys start pulling back light intensity and going with a little cooler temps. I’m running a 240W S33 from AC infinity in a 3x3.
Should I be going strictly off of PAR or VPD at this point.Setup. Lighting

How to manage a tall plant with a thick stem in week 1 of flowering?One plant I ordered online was pre-grown. Now, it’s about 20 cm taller than my other plants. At the top, the taller plant gets more than 1000 PPFD, while the lower canopy gets about 500 PPFD. It’s currently week 1 of flowering. The stem is too thick to bend down.What would youdo?

Soil problemsSo I have switched my grow medium to soil and perlite from Bat-special. I give my plants 2L of water every 4 days but the soil never holds the water as all of it comes out the bottom. is this normal? there is so much runoff. 2L of water shouldn't be pouring out a 25L pot.

How many plants in a 70x70x160cm tent with 100W?Hello, I have a grow tent kit 2x2 with a 100W 301H EVO Spider Farmer light. I have put there three 11L pots. But now I realize the size/light of my tent might not be enough. Could I manage by adding an additional 60W lamp you reckon or is it best to discard at least 1 plant? Thx
