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.

When to put the light on?
Hey there, Do you need to put the light on the pots directly after you planted the seeds in the ground? Or do you need to wait untill they poke true the ground and then put the light on them?

Mars Hydro TS1000 and Spider Farmer SF1000D in 26x26 tent together?
I’ve purchased an Mars Hydro FC-E 3000 for my 3x3 tent, so I now have a TS 1000 I’ve removed from the 3x3, that I want to move to my 26x26 and run it along side my Spider Farmer SF1000D. Is that overkill/pointless waste of energy for that size environment?

Best Lamps
Dear fellow growers! I kindly ask you to give me strong advice on LED lighting. Specifically, which COMPANY and MODEL is currently THE BEST. For plants, of course - not for the wallet. Price and economic considerations are also important to me, but not the most. Thanx & regards

Is my light adequate?
I’m sure it’s outdated since I purchased and used last in 2014 but is my 225W AgroMax UFO 6Band LED enough to produce quality and quantity in my 2x2x5 grow box for one plant? Red - 660nm & 630nm Blue - 460nm & 430nm White - 10K Specialty - 410nm near U.V.

Back To 24 Hour Light - Auto Flowers
My autos switched from 24 hour light to 16 about 2 weeks ago to see if it would help make them bloom faster. Can I turn them back onto 24 hours or could that mess things up? I would like the most amount of light time. They should have 2 more weeks left

Bend Her Over?
Any chance of super cropping a thriving auto on day 42? She hasn’t flinched at training yet; and got hacked on. I’m running out of vertical space with some developing runners. She’s going to stretch a bit yet, and currently 12” from light with 650 PPFD. Bend, or not to bend?
