Power and distance
Jaxx_Tellerstarted grow question 6y ago
Ok so......
This is a Mars Hydro TSW2000 specific question.
1, When should i go 100% with the light as far as plant age is concerned?
2, I've seen various distance tables that all vary so i'm asking TSW2000 growers specifically what their distances are for Autos.
Many thanks

Ah, the Mars Hydro lights, I currently run 2x Mars Hydro 150w TS1000s, so pretty close to what you are doing. I keep em high and let the plants grow up into them.
Seedling/Sapling 100% power - 60 inches, this'll put you around 9000lux, 70umol.
Veg 100% power - 36 inches - gives you 20-50k lux and 150ish-400ish umol
Flower 100% power- 18-24 inches give you 50k-70k and 400-700ish umol.
Hope this helps.

I use that same light. I start at 60% the first week with about 24 in above canopy, week 2 I went 75% and about 20 inches, and around the middle of week 3 I went 100% and kept around 14 - 16 in above canopy.
hope this gives you a better idea.

I use the hand method for all lights. Where your hand feels comfortable at the closest distance you can get it for a minute under the light, the girls usually do fine. Cheers

Is that just a light burn or could it be something else?One bud in the middle of my plant is much lighter than all the others, which all look healthy and green. I think it was due to the too small distance of my light, which was only 20cm (8") between canopy and light. I have now moved the light to 35cm (14").
What are your opinions?

Confused with light schedules for outdoor growingHi fellow growers, I'm really confused with light schedules for outdoor growing.
Everywhere I see 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flowering.
However at my place I get ~13hours of daylight (not always sunlight)
Would my plants get into flowering if daylight is reduced to ~11 hours?

Do I keep dimming my light to try to get proper DLI?Currently at 22" above soil at 50% intensity and still getting ~50DLI at Germ/Seedling stage (too high?). It's a 240W LED. Do I keep dimming the light or do I change light schedule (24h currently) to get proper DLI?

ViparSpectra XS 1000 (x2) vs. HLG 100 RSpec (x2)Thoughts on VS XS 1000 (x2) vs. me buying HLG 100 RSpec (x2)? They'd go to either side of my HLG 225 in a tent that's 2.75' deep and 5' wide to 'fill the wings' more evenly. Thoughts on build, safety, quality & heat? HLG 100RSpec:0 / XS1000: (on sale this weekend)

General question about raising lights.Gotta question for what most of you are doing to raise your lights?
Currently I've just set it static and move as needed. But I'm curious if anyone has a easier method or know of anything made to aid in the raising of the LED light fixtures ?

LED distance to plant adviceInterested in how close I can get my 630w LED with a rating of 2.7μmol/W and 1700 PPF to my canopy. I had it hung 48cm (19 inches) on 380w and just upped it to 500w day 8 in flower. Does this sound too close at 500w or is this ok? Temp is 25C (77F) humidity 55%.

Very technical question - LED wattage vs actual power usedMy LED is a Phlizon 600w but the power draw is only around 97w at the plug. Perhaps a silly question, but is my diary entry supposed to be 600w or 97w? Looking at other diaries, it looks like yield is expressed as weight/watt and want to be consistent.Other. Other
