Broken Light?
Joelski
started grow question 6y ago
The Veg side of my light went out today. All I had to add was an led shop light. What do I do while I wait for warranty service?

White light with 6500K color temperature is great. The key is to get as many watts as possible. 18 Watts LED tubes can be rigged up easily enough. A few of these tubes will get you by in a pinch.

Ok Guys. My plants are 6 days old now. And I have them under this 72w light that is about 12” away from them. Is it ok to have it this close? I was considering to move it closer before moving to the hig light. Thanks for the opinions guys!!

Hi all, Are the leaves point upwards a good sign of a happy plant or a sign of too much light? This is my first grow and i am trying a variety of setups and just trying to be cautious as what I have read in the forums is either one way or the other. Thanks!

Should I keep my light hours or take it back down?
I had 20/4 lightcycle on my autos but because of humidity problems, I had to raise the hours with light on. First to 22/2 and now I had to put it to 23/1. Tomorrow I will get another LED lamp and soon a dehumidifier. Can I then turn it down to 20/4 again without too much stress?

light on humidifier :(
okay I think I might have fucked up (lol). I bought a new humidifier. And I didn’t realize it has a light in it. And i run it in the ten over the whole night. It’s not powerful at all but it’s also not just a little led. Do u recon my plant will be okay. I covered it now.

Added a light, how far should I hang them both from the girls?
I have added a Mars Hydro TS600 to my tent along with the Spider Farmer SF1000 in my 2x2, how far should I move them up away from the plants? I'm guessing I don't want them as low as the SF1000 was on its own which was around 15" Thank you lovely people!

Mars Hyrdo TS600 - 100w but mistook for 600w
I've recently found out that the led light I have which is a Mars Hydro TS600 is not in fact 600w and is actually 100w. Do I need to compensate in any way? My plants look healthy but short, I don't want to put the light too far away that it's ineffective, how close is too close?

HLG UVA supplement
Introduced this hlg 30 uva light as a supplement to the twin 260s. I've read just 3 hours a day increasing 1 hour per week up to 4-6 hours before harvest. Anyone recommend anything differently or just run it 18/6 with the lights?

Light came on for about 30 seconds about 3 hours into the dark cycle
So Im 3 days into 12/12 and I bumped my timer last night and my light came on suddenly during the dark cycle. I immediately shut it right back off. Was I wrong in shutting it back off right away? Should I be worried about anything?

LED lights for veg-Viparspectra xs1000
I have the viparspectra xs1000 light. I turned up to 50% intensity and plant is about 30cm from canopy. Is that right for early vegetation stage?It looks healthy to me but could be wrong. Was going to turn up to 75% later, then 100% for flower. Do I need to move closer the light?
