Do I need more light?
MrGreenManstarted grow question 5y ago
Hey everyone, someone said that I need a better light but I though my plants were growing well? My light is a decent one, cost over 100, 190W. I thought my plants looked like they like the light I got, anyone see any reason that they need more? I stunted the smaller two btw

I mean better lights give bigger yields but your plants are looking fine (even if a bit stressed on the pictures😜) so dont worry and just finish it with that one...
If your unsure you could put the 2 shortys a bit higher up that prob. would solve most light related ,,issues,, here.
Cheers😋

For further context, they didn’t stretch as seedlings and remained short nodes until the big one stretched. Good colour on all leaves and the smaller two I stunted weeks ago and they’re now recovering. I don’t see any signs of lack of light but someone say I need more which I find hard to believe. Obviously better quality light is ideal, but this is my first grow

WHAT IS CAUSING MY LEAVES TO CURL? (Day 64 pictures)The leaves at the top of the plant seem to be curling up. My first guess is that there is too much light. I recently moved my light down to 12 inches above the canopy. The PPFD should still be under 1,000, but I don't know what else could be causing it. Please help. 🙏5y ago

more lamps or not?Hello brothers.
We have:

- 9 plants Super lemon haze
- 2 lamps kingbrite 320w lm301h
We are currently in our 7th week of flowering. I have another free lamp of the same 320 watt.

How to switch to floweringIt's been about 5 weeks from germination. I think we're ready to switch to flowering. I'm just not certain on how to go about it. Do I gradually reduce 18/6 of the veg light down to 12/12 (over a week?) then pop in the flower bulb? Or do I just make a hard switch?Week 4

Could anybody please suggest which LED light they would recommend for a 4x4 grow.
Willing to spend around £500 maximum as I really want to invest however most videos on YouTube are marketing their own. Really appreciate your advice.
Many thanks!

Just wondering if adding sunlight could improve it or makes no difference?Do you still need to give plants sunlight if they have a tent fan and ac plus led grow lights? I really need to know if after 53 days of 6hours of sunlight daily the plant might be used to the sunlight , although I know led grow lights are like a mini sun inside tent but still?Other.

18/6 leads to high temps in small tent; change light schedule or stick it out?Girls are at 18/6 and 3-4 hours before lights out the tent gets up to 90 degrees and humidity can’t compete.
Should I wait it out or try 16/8 moving towards 12/12 close to flowering (autoflower). Will lowering light exposure affect yield more than high temps would at 18/6Setup. Lighting

Does anyone have experience with colas that have been severely light deprived, yet still have trichs?My ghost nug grew up on the side of the tent blocked from light. She has trichs, looks super light yellow (see pics). My question is, wouldn't this be desirable? Less chlorophyll to wait on before smoking? Has anyone tried to maybe light deprive parts of their colas?

UV LED slowing down growth? Sorry previous question without the question!The plant has a rectangular area in the middle where it is not growing as quickly. The difference is almost 10cm. I suspect the lamp. Could it be that the centrally installed UV LEDs are causing this? They should grow more inside because of more light.

Light pointed at white wall for supplemental lighting?Does it makes sense to have a small 300W COB LED pointed at the white flat painted wall for supplemental lighting?
If I point the light directly at the plants I would surely burn them but have no space to move back.
