First questions about light
blendmedmedmananswered grow question 4 years ago
with your lamp i would suggest using it like so, during veg you should have the lamp 15-18 inches, during flowering you would want it between 10-15 inches.
if you go 24hrs light you should doing that for the first 2 weeks and on the 3rd week go to the 18-6 cycle as the plant responds very well to this and on her 4th week she will look nice. hope this helps and your grow is the right size for her age, your doing just fine

Thank you blendmedmedman, I'm tempted to turn 24hrs, but since my grow led gets very hot while working (around 85 degrees, with no heat sink) I would give it some hours of rest. So would be useful turning 20-4 or 22-2 instead of 24hrs? thanks again

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

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.Other. General questions

Got a Mars Hydro TS600, will it do alright?My plan is to grow only 1 plant, in a 40x40x120 tent. I know the tent is pretty small but hopefully i can do some training on the plant to grow wide
Will the light do until the end? 100wats, but no light dim possibility. Currently growing seedling at 13 dli at 60 cm

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,

Bend Her Over?Any chance of super cropping a thriving auto on day 42? She hasn’t flinched at training yet; and got hacked on. I’m running out of vertical space with some developing runners. She’s going to stretch a bit yet, and currently 12” from light with 650 PPFD. Bend, or not to bend?a year ago
