Plants Growing Taller Than Light
DennisBudmanstarted grow question 4 years ago
My plants are growing taller than the LED light! The hanging wires that came w/ the light are now too long; even after rigging the wires so the light will hang at a higher distance. I am using a 4 ft. tall grow tent. How/what can I use to adjust the height of the light?

Hello. The technique you will want to look in to is Super Cropping. Where you take the tallest branches and bend them over so you have a 90 degree angle. Please look for a diary with this technique or ask Mr. Google. Good Luck. Chuck.

My LED 190 Watt is currently 35cm away from the tallest plant. Heat is no problem 23C on the top plant
Is it ok to leave the LED so close or should it be further away?

When to lower light intensity?When is the right time to lower light intensity? I'm on 5th week of flowering, should I keep my lights on max or reduce the power/increase the distance to plants? I have around 1000W of Led's at 35-60cm distance from the tops. I see no burning/bleaching or anything like that.

Lifespan of led grow lights?Lifespan of LED quantum boards?
Hi
I'm looking for anyone who has first hand experience with the lifespan of the led grow lights. I'm not looking for the manufacturer guidelines. Just anyone who has noticed any difference in performance from the LEDs over time..

Best Light Schedule for Autoflowers?I'm wondering what light schedules my fellow growers like to use with their Autoflowers? I'm debating weather the additional cost of a 20/4 is worth it in terms of growth and increased Bud Quality/Size over a 18/6 schedule. I would love to hear your experiences.Setup. Lighting
