16/8 is fine, but it seems most people like 18/6.

Grow lights
I'm currently looking for a new grow light. But it's crazy how many choices there are. Since my grow area is very small, 40x40cm or 1x1', I don't need a lot of wattage. So would prefer to invest in quality over quantity. Any suggestions?

Should I flip?
I’ve got my plants in 2gal fabric pots and I’m not planning on transplanting up. The plants are averaging about 8/9” and I’m starting to see small roots out the bottom. Should I flip to flowering, or can I get away with another week of veg?

Schould i buy another more expensive lamp with more watts or can i just buy a second xs 1500 ?
Does it make sense to buy another Viperspectra xs1500 with 150watts? So my question is, if the power of 2 same led lamps add up together?

LEDs lumens
is there a method (which does not involve the purchase of a rather expensive device) to measure the lumens present in the growbox? I would like to make sure that the LEDs that I bought have the same performance declared on the package 😕

Grams per watt
What’s the best gm per watt that someone here has gotten on a single plant? I’m aiming for 1gm per watt but doubt that she will yield 315gm once dried.

Trying to get setup right
I know I prob need to get a nicer light and ditch all the crap lights but for now I have what I have. Perhaps after some success I may be able to get a new light to replace all of them. But how far should it be? 2 feet above rockwool cube? And what watts per plant

Probleme Mars Hydro tsw2000
Hey there, I have a problem with my MarsHydroTsw2000. It's connected to a timer, and almost every day when it turns off and then back on after 6 hours, one side of the LEDs doesn't work anymore. Then I have to unplug it and plug it back in, and everything is fine again.

light intensity for clones right after transplant ?
basically should you treat them like a early veg ? using migro 4 array and it recommends 40 percent intensity at 35 cm away for early veg. or because they are just transplanted should I give them a lower light intensity.

Lights for heat- 24/7 okay?
I really need the heat of the lights to keep the inside of my tent warm. To warm the air around the tent 24/7 would be expensive- much more expensive than using the lights all the time. But will this work with 24 hour lights? Will that stress the plants? Using auto flowers.

Lightning question
Hey, Growers! This week I had to open together the two boxes, so now all the plants have both kind of lights. Do you think, it can have a negative effect on them, or maybe it's good at least for the 140cm height White Widow,because the bottom parts get some more light from there?
