SF2000_3x3started grow question 4y ago
Been running my lights 24 hours a day on my seedlings. Since I am growing autos, should I be at 18 and 6 now? Or should I keep running them 24 for the first couple of weeks to help veg up little before giving rest? This is my 1st time growing autos and 1st indoor grow in 20 yrs

Here's a good video on the subject. You can make your own determination, but essentially plants can sleep with the lights on, but you may stress them out.

I personally ran mine at 24 hrs during veg and went 18/6 in flower so they could rest a bit more. I may go 20/4 next run. 🤘😤

Hey really good question. I run all my autos at 20/4, that way they get a small break and also I don’t burn out my lights. You can run 24/0 for autos but you will burn through your lights much faster.
Happy growing

White and blurple led in same tent?I recently upgraded to a TS1000 for my flower tent, and am waiting on an SF1000D for my veg tent, and now have a tmlapy “1500w” blurple sitting around. Would i gain anything running the blurple and ts1000 in the same tent? Or is it not worth the extra energy consumptionSetup. Lighting

Marshydro ts600 for a 50x50x100Hi quick question,
Purchasing 50x50x100 tent
Will the marshydro ts600 be ideal for this yes just shy of 2x2.
Im aware the ts1000 is better and has dimmable option but wouldn't that be too powerful for my little 2x2 with a height if only 100cm? Will be from (marshydroled.co.uk)

Light flashed onOur power did some interesting things during the storm & the lights went on in the tent - I would say they literally flashed on & then off (along with the rest of the house) - during the *dark* period. How concerned if at all should I be about this? Anything I should / could do?

Light timer ProblemHey Growers.
So I made a dumbass mistakes…..for the last 18 days I have had my light timer set for 12 hrs 15 mins on and 11 hrs 45 off. They are looking good and budding up. I’m wondering is that close enough to 12/12 to have my day 1 flower be true for accuracy sake.
Thanks
