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.

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.

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake. After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened? Photo at 5 weeks.

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

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200. I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new). Should I increase EC of the feeding water? I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.
