Segun mi experiencia no es necesaria la luz al 100% en todo el proceso.
-Semilla 50%
-Veg 75%
-Flora 100%
Asi ahorraras un poco en electricidad.
Dependiendo de la cantidad de calor que desprenda tu luz lo tendras que poner mas o menos cerda.
en mi caso esta a un 75% y a unos 45-50cm de las plantas

Un saludo y suerte!!

Hi,
The more light the plant gets the bigger it will grow.
I am using a mars ts 1000 and haven't turn down the dimmer. If you are going with the dimmer at full, try keeping the light away from the top canopy or it will bun ur leaves.
Happy grow!!!

I just picked up the Spider Farmer SF2000 and I’m using the dimmer switch on it. First time using it so I went roughly by their recommendations and started at 30” from canopy at 30% for seedlings. Slowly increased to 80% and dropped light to 24” over 6 weeks of veg. Haven’t flipped to flower yet but they vegged great and have been happy the whole time. Another perk is the savings on electricity from using the dimmer as opposed to just raising the lights.

How to grow Jack Herer and Power Plant strainsHey growmies, I’ve started two Jack Herer fems and a Power Plant fem on my 3-D’s diary. I’ve read JH can be a mofo and should be grown on a 12/12 light cycle from seed. I read the same for PP also. Is this true???? I’m trying to maximize yield. Thoughts please… 🤯Setup. Lighting

LightWhat would you say about my lighting based off the leaves of this auto? Too bright, too weak, or just fine?

Contemplating putting 2 plants outside. I have 8 in a 3x3 with Mars hydro tsw2000. It’s pretty tight in there. What do you guys think? Is 8 too many for the size and light? Or should I just leave them as is? I think the the pots are 3 possibly 5 gallon.

raise lights during stretch?Should I raise the lights during flower stretch to maintain the same distance from light source to canopy? I notice that my plants continue to get taller than most. I know the stretch is natural, but I'm wondering if constantly raising the lights with growth is the right approachWeek 12

Help, they start to taco.I think its to bright and to hot, seeing some taco leaves.
Sanlight on 100% for few days, temps go up to 32C
Next plan is to add BB Grow,Bloom,CalMag,TopMax,BioHeaven,Activera,Algamic no Canna Mono Mag anymore. What do you guys say to feed?
Light back to 80%?
