Spider Farmer sf 1000 light height inquiry.
Troy_Farms
started grow question 6y ago
I am growing in a 2x2 spider farmer with a SF 1000, currently the light is 20" and only 80% power. It seems like a powerful light and don't want to overdue it. Should I move the light closer and turning up to 100% power for the rest of flowering?

More power = more yield, Turn it up all the way, watch the distance and heat and you should be right mate, use it for all its worth

Yellowing leaves & tips curling down on 14th day. Coco / Autopot / Hesi / Mars Hydro fc-1500
Would gladly use some help with my first grow 🙏 2 main reasons come to mind after googling: 1. I overwatered thinking it's hard to do since I'm using the Air dome. 2. Too intense light. Was checking a lot of growers that actually grow 24/0 and went for it 75% 40cm.

SF-1000 safe distance and dimmer for seedlings in soil?
my seedlings are stretching and not growing in size. soil, autos, dropped in water 7 days ago and moved to soil in solo cups. What are people running the SF-1000 at for seedlings? I was at 30" and 20% but that's not good clearly. I've moved to 24" @ 45% so far.

What’s up guys me again😂 I’ve got my hps up and running and I’ve got the temperature under control by having my fan blowing directly at the light and I’ve added a oscillating tower fan. How can I keep the temps up when lights go off? Many thanks!

Not enough light? Help?
I think my flower is not getting enough light. How can I make do with the light on my balcony (that only hits the plant from the side for about 6 hours a day). Any tips or tricks for increasing yields in my "lightless" situation? (Growlights are out of the equasion due to space)

LED Lights
Anyone used the Phlizon Cree COB 2000w lights? I’m running two in a 8’x4’ under a scrog net. 5 weeks into veg but nowhere near where they should be. Used only the COBs in veg as some suggested but had to put on full blast today and hope for some speedy growth before I flower them

Light spectrum during veg and bloom periods
I have 2 1000w full spectrum lights. Each light has 2 switches-a veg button and a bloom button. This gives 3 settings for the lights-veg only, bloom only and both lights on at the same time. What settings should I use during Veg and during flower and how close should I hang them?

Use lamp while waiting the sun ?
Would it be worth it for me to go and buy a CFL bulb at a DIY store while I wait for the sun to come back? Or is it not good to have 2 different types of lighting (sun and cfl bulb)? And what kind of cfl bulb I could take?
