It depends on what bulb you bought? They range from 250 to 600 w, check the watts and then set the Lumotec transformer to the right frequency. ATTENTION A 250-400₩ LIGHT cannot operate at 600 w even if the transformer goes up to 600w !!!!!! I would go for a 600 w HPS FOR THE ENTIRE PHASE OF THE PLANT, cheers!

Temperatur Hello, just a general question about the temperature during the flowering phase. Right now, I'm only getting 24-26 degrees Celsius during the day (more 26 than 24) and a maximum of 21 degrees at night. Is that sufficient for the ladies, or do I need to take action? They are showing no signs of illness.

How to tell if light is damaging plant?I'm using a Mars Hydro Ts600. Manufacturers advice is to keep height at 12'' minimum above the canopy in flower but other growers report it can hang as low as 10''. In identifying optimum height how would I be able to tell if it was too low for my plants? What should Iook for?

Veg/Bloom switch My plants are 5 weeks from germination, I have flowers and buds forming but I am starting to worry they aren't growing as they should (I want them bigger). I have had my light veg and bloom switches on throughout. Would you recommend I change over to just bloom switch now?

The Chinese 3000K lighting won’t “hurt” my plants in veg, right? It’s just simply isn’t the lighting that works for veg growth, yea?

Nanners?Can someone verify my latest 2 photos look like nanners? If so, I’d love some insight on why my plants seem to be so light sensitive. Most growers seem to blast their plants with upwards of 200w with little issue. Mine is sitting at 80w 22inches and it seems to be struggling!
