3000 watt power use
GrimReefer01started grow question 4 years ago
This is my first time using such a powerful light in my opinion, 3000 watts seems overkill but that's what i want. The question IS, is it better to have 1-2 plants under the 3000 watt or worth it to manage 4 at a higher distance? Cheers. Don't keep techniques in mind.

Your light would in fact only be around 400 true watts and a 400 watt light will easley handle 4 plants and your distance should stay the same but I would only run it at half power at the start until your plants can handle it.

Just ordered a 150W Quantum Board, can I swap my Blurple UFO mid grow to the new board? Is it possible to increase flower size this late into a grow?My Blurple apparently uses 230W actual draw but is advertised as 600W. If that 230W value is correct, does that suggest my new, much more expensive QB is not as good? Will it make a difference to the plants health? What are the benefits from the QB? Thanks!5 years ago

LED Kelvin Temp 3000k-6500kIs there a massive difference in colour temperature/kelvin of LED's if the lumens, PAR, watts, intensity and every other aspect you can think of is the same but its temp/kelvin is lower? I use a 6500k LEDs, may mix in or switch to 3000K for better flowers if its proven to work.

Breaking light cycle during floweringDoes breaking the dark cycle after half an hour of dark will stress the plant? I just opened the box 30 minutes after the light went down during the first week of flowering. Can this make my plants hermaphrodite?Setup. Lighting

Grow lamp setting veg or bloom or both?For my grow lamp settings this early on should I be using the VEG And Bloom spectrums simultaneously? Or just leave in Veg? Since these are Autos I wasn't sure if switching the spectrums was as important as maximizing light.
