Bad idea?
Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

Beginner grower question
Hi! I am a beginner grower. I converted a refrigerator for micro-growing. How long until my first plant is finished? It grew semi-open air. The box was ready a few weeks ago and I put it in. My lamp is viperspectra p600. I welcome any useful advice. Thanks. Auto jack herrer

Light stress during the night time
Question to outdoor growers. The auto flowering plant is growing in the garden, and sometimes there is light on during night time, can it cause light stress? It's usual light bulb, 40w, in some distance

Lighting coverage
Will my viparspectra xs1500 have enough coverage once these plants get larger? Or will I need supplemental lighting? And if I do need more, am I better off getting the larger model, or just getting another identical unit so that I have 2?

Should I lower my light during flowering?
I'm at 24 inches away now, should I lower the light now that she's in full bloom? I went with the recommendation of Mars Hydro and burnt up 3 seedlings as a result. Sadly I only have one bean left of my Fastbuds over this crucial mistake. Running a Mars Hydro SP 250 keep at 36in.

2 or 1 Lightning
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😎

Growing out instead of up.
Please help out! I moved it into a new pot and topped it last week as suggested. Also new ViparSpectra light at 45cm away @80% power. Nutrients/food yet to arrive. It seems to just be growing out instead of up, and starting to see some white/ burnt looking spots. Suggestions?

Is the light far enough away?
Id like to make sure I'm not wrong in positioning the TS600 60cm above the rockwool cubes for germination.

How to grow Jack Herer and Power Plant strains
Hey growmies, I’ve started two Jack Herer fems and a Power Plant fem on my 3-D’s diary. I’ve read JH can be a mofo and should be grown on a 12/12 light cycle from seed. I read the same for PP also. Is this true???? I’m trying to maximize yield. Thoughts please… 🤯

Hello there, fellow growers. I am facing trouble finding a LED grow light in my country right now. I saw a couple of DIY ideas to make a homemade LED grow light using a panel and LED Strips. Can I grow using my own grow light? how many watts of led do I need for 3x3 space?
