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

Best LEDs or small HID to replace 1000W dimmable HID for small space
I'm using a 1000w HID setup I had from before, running at 50% in a cool tube. It's loud and not efficient. Maybe it's time I switch to LEDs or a 250 HID. I don't want to sacrifice bud quality but I'm low on funds. Any recommendations for a good light that will fill this space?

GTMAR 1000watt full spectrum light
I bought a gtmar full spectrum 1000 watt light off amazon, does it really put off 1000watts?? My 4 plants look great except I can tell that some of the under foliage isn’t quite getting enough light, I’m doing some LST.

Pasar de fase de crecimiento a pre-floración??
When do the plants transition from the growth phase to pre-flowering?? The fertilizer chart I have (grotek) shows these phases, but I don't know when the change happens, and is this phase when I increase the ballast power from 400 to 600??

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?

How to keep room dark during flower?
How important is it to keep the plants in COMPLETE darkness during lights off during flowering? Thinking of running some ducting with cut-to-size furnace filter out the vent hole on the side of the tent which supplies air right now. Will that be enough?

Right lighting at day 6 - fluo or HI as both available
Right lighting at day 6? Very happy that all germination looking good on day 6 from seed. I could either continue with this compact fluorescent bulb (15 cm from tiny first leaf) for another week or two OR switch to full HI 1500W immediately (30cm from plant) Thanks!

Light came on for about 30 seconds about 3 hours into the dark cycle
So Im 3 days into 12/12 and I bumped my timer last night and my light came on suddenly during the dark cycle. I immediately shut it right back off. Was I wrong in shutting it back off right away? Should I be worried about anything?

Are 2x 150 watt lamps as good as one 300 watt lamp? I am thinking about upgrading to 300 watts, I already have a Mars Hydro TS1000 with 150 watts. (in 80x80cm / 2.625x2.625ft.) Thanks for your recommendations growmies😎

Pruning?
Pruning ideas along the stems? Was thinking that some of the branches at the bottom that may never get over the lid of the pot should be snipped off. Also, good idea to keep blue/red light shining under the canopy?
