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

Mixing LED lights
Hi everyone! I am growing 4 autos in 3x3 tent under the p300 platinum led light. Is it ok to add an additional VS1000 as a supplement light? Or will the difference in spectrum cause trouble?

- I have a greenhouse ceiling that covers 50% of the terrace - should I grow the plants always under this ceiling, or if it is beneficial to expose the plants to direct sunlight? - If so, how old the plant has to be to expose it to the sunlight? I don't want to burn my seedling

Hello growers, I’m growing an auto and I have it under 18-6 h and she already started to flower, my question is if I can change it to 24 h of light and if there’s any benefits with that, cause I already read that night time will help them recover a bit from stress and I use scrog

Lumatek attis 300W
Boa tarde Farmers. Tenho um led Lumatek attis 300w e estou a usá-lo com a luz a 100% ( está incluído um dimmer que dá para regular de 20 em 20%). Queria saber se há algum problema usar a 100% desde a fase inicial ou se existem valores específicos para cada fase. Muito obrigado!

I’m running a 45 watt led grow light. Instructions say to keep 2 inches from plant. Is this too close? Just don’t want to hurt plants. Thanks!

How many watts do I need for my small tent?
I am using a full spectrum LED that draws only 30W from the wall but it might be too weak since my plant is getting lanky. I have moved it closer to the plant but now I am afraid of over-heating. How many watts LED would be sufficient for my 40cmX40cmx120cm tent?

Light distance and when to top?
I'm using a 300W LED. What distance should I keep the lights at now that I've transplanted and the plants are doing well? I'm thinking 24" and then move up as they grow until flipping. Also, when should I top? I've read that waiting for 6-8 nodes is the right way to go.
