started 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.

Hi quick question, Purchasing 50x50x100 tent Will the marshydro ts600 be ideal for this yes just shy of 2x2. Im aware the ts1000 is better and has dimmable option but wouldn't that be too powerful for my little 2x2 with a height if only 100cm? Will be from (marshydroled.co.uk)

I purchased two Vipar Spectra 300 LED Lights. I am only using one right now because i was concerned two would be too much for the seedling phase. Should I keep just the one light or Put up Both ? When would be a good point in the plants life cycle to put up the extra lights ?

Spider Farmer driver failure. LED HELP. Should've went HLG.
Ok this is hard. Sf 4000 driver failure & idk what I did lol. Plugged into extensions and a surge protector but aside from flipping a fuse every once in awhile this came out of nowhere. Any help would be great or even just where to start. Already checked connections.

Ventilación y Luz en plantulas
Me inspiré en McGyver y he puesto un armario improvisado... Cómo de importante es la ventilación en esta etapa de plantula?🌬️ (He dejado la puerta entreabierta por las dudas)🤔 También he puesto otra luz auxiliar..se notará en el crecimiento o desperdicio luz?🔌🔋

amount of sunshine for autos in late flower - open air, outdoor grow
We're getting 14-15 hours of strong sunshine a day. Now that I'm late flower, should I move my autos into a spot that will get shade for half of the day? Seems like they may not need to be pounded by this much light/heat at this point and could use more down time.
