DO YOU USE LED DIMMER?

MrJointstarted grow question 4 years ago

Você usa o dimmer de potência do led? Usa ele em 100% ou aumenta em cada fase (seed, veg, flo)? Tenho visto as duas formas e gostaria de ouvir de amigos mais experientes. Sempre buscando mais saúde para as meninas. ✨🥦

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 Puedes revisar mi diario. 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.

Lux Meter and Hydroponics Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.

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, Mr.STM

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

Affordable but good growlight for small space I'm looking for a cheap light to grow one plant, the current one (90w) have just doesn't have enough juice so I'd like to upgrade.
