I think your asking if you should use both your 150w veg light and your 200w flower light together at the same time, is this correct? You could do this, it will certainly boost your lux on your canopy top, but you may see a bit more stretching during flowering. I have led lights that have veg and flowering switches, but during flowering I turn both on to get the brightest luminous output. I guess this is kinda of the same. Hope this helps. Cheers 💨

Or do you mean is there an advantage to switching out your 150w light for your 200w for flowering? Short answer, yes, every watt counts. And if the bigger light is meant for flowering and the other for veg then it’s a definite yes, because they usually have optimum light spectrum outputs for each stage.

How many plants in a 70x70x160cm tent with 100W?Hello, I have a grow tent kit 2x2 with a 100W 301H EVO Spider Farmer light. I have put there three 11L pots. But now I realize the size/light of my tent might not be enough. Could I manage by adding an additional 60W lamp you reckon or is it best to discard at least 1 plant? Thx

Amber and still many clear trichomes Approaching harvest time and im confused with still seeing a lot of clear trichomes. I identify already about 40%+ amber trichomes at the top of the main cola fading to 20% amber in the middle of it. Lower buds/colas have 20% amber. Am i just overreacting over nothing?

autoflower, extended veg time, due to mainlining "topping,training" and stable genetics and pot size ?Could you in theory manipulate the veg time of an autoflower, by doing main-lining "lots of topping, training" with good genetics, oversized pot, 24 hour lights and good timing ? Ive experianced a few plants staying long in veg, without showing signs of stress or stunt.

Leaf-tips going droopy mode After my second to last watering the tips of all of the leaves started to droop a bit. I though it was connected to the night-cycle of my light, but it continues to worsen every day. However I only watered after the soil was dry too the touch? Is it really overwatering or else?
