Joelskistarted grow question 5y 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.

Alright so this morning from 8am to 4pm my power was out. I transplanted last night and soaked the medium pretty well. Will this power outage hurt my girls. Did the temps being 10 degrees lower all day hurt them. How soon will I know if I get root rot or anything of that nature?Week 3

ViparSpectra P600 or P1000?I'm just starting with a small setup (40x40x100cm tent), only one small plant at the time, but want to be able to grow proper quality in long-term. I suppose the biggest difference between the two lights is the 930 vs 1006 umol/m2/s? Any advise appreciated!Setup. Lighting

Short period growHey fellow growers.
So I have an odd question,
Is it actually possible to start grow with 12/12 straight away?
And how will it affect my plants?
Let's say I have 3 autos and one photo.
Will I have anything worth the time if I start straight with 12/12 light schedule? Thanks youOther. General questions

18-6 or 24H Of lightHello growers, I’m growing an auto and I have it under 18-6 h and she already started to flower, my question is if I can change it to 24 h of light and if there’s any benefits with that, cause I already read that night time will help them recover a bit from stress and I use scrog5y ago

My grow tent is sitting in my basement, which normally sits at 10C in the winter, so I set the heat in the room to 18C and the LED and 2 fans heat it to 20.4C in the tent.
Anyone have a similar setup but using their grow lights as a heat source? Heating a basement is expensive.Setup. Lighting

Hi there,
I currently have 9 1 day old Auto seedlings under a 400w FL lamp with 2 broken outputs so its really running at 300w, which is 18" away from the seedling
I also have a 600W Kind LED and I'm wondering if I should replace the broken FL lamp with the LED?
Thanks in advanceSetup. Lighting

Sie hängt an einer Zeitschaltuhr, fast jeden Tag wenn sie aus und dann nach 6 Stunden wieder angeht, geht eine Seite der LEDS nicht mehr.
Dann muss ich den Stecker raus und wieder rein stecken, dann ist alles wiederOKSetup. Lighting
