Do you think having a longer lights on time would have been beneficial ? Edit: Currently 16-ON and 8-OFF Not sure why I set it this way.😁

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.

Blüte einleiten Wie soll ich den Lichtzyklus ändern von 16/8 auf 12/12, einfach direkt in einem Tag 4 Stunden Licht wegnehmen oder step by step pro Tag 30 min weniger Licht geben, bin mir unsicher ob ein direkter wechsel zu Zwittern führen kann, wie macht ihr es?

Growlampe Hallo an alle, Ich bin schon länger auf der Suche nach einer guten Growlampe die auch mehrere Pflanzen ohne Probleme hochziehen könnte. Habe schon vieles gutes über die Mars Hydro TS600 gehört ist die Lampe besser für einzelne Pflanzen oder kann man auch mehrere hochziehen?

Started the plants off with 60 watts. Increased to 100 watts today with a 20/5 schedule. Could I increase to the full 150 watts already or should I give them a few days with 100? Thanks in advance for any advice. It’s my first indoor grow with this setup and I’m still learning :)

Hight Problems I’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants. My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?

Stretchy seedlings...worried!Hi, I have 5 seedlings on day 7. 2 of them are going fine but the three from ditch passion were very stretchy though. Likely due to having the light to far away. Take a look, any advise would be great. Cheers all!

regarding the light spectrum ratio. what is the ideal light spectrum for both the vegetative and flowering phases? Do you use 3500K lights during the vegetative stage, or only use cold white lights at 6000K? do you then switch in flower to 3500K lights along with 370-780nm?

Wrong power cable in my LED light: still light when switched down off.Have you ever made this mistake? My second harvest was someway worst then my first. Sure I did some watering mistakes but during my chores in the room and in the tent, I found out. I used a random power cable on my PAR LED lamp so when It turned off still had some light on. Bang!

Will increasing light intensity restart stalled seedlings Seeking advice from Mars Hydro TS1000 growers. When do you increase light intensity during seedling stage? I've had the light 30cm above the plant at 25% power since germination. The plants stalled 2 weeks ago. Can I get them going again by raising intensity or will I fry them?
