In 4x4. With autoflower, the only thing I found about it on internet was this:
Based on the light intensity readings provided by Mars Hydro at 100% power Vegetative and full life for autoflowers: 30 inches. So what do you guys use ?

I use the manufacturers PAR/PPFD charts. If I don't trust the manufacturer, I would find someone doing a PAR test on YouTube or something. I did that for my Mars Hydro TSW 2000 and MH was honest about their readings.
That said, I looked up your TS 3000. Looks like you have 4 plants, their centers probably about 1 ft from the center of the tent. If this is true, you should be at 24-26" from your plants. If they keep the same distance during flower, you'll want to be 18-20" away from the canopy.
For veg you want 400-600 ppfd and for flower you want 600-900 ppfd. The higher ends of these ranges are better, but giving them too much will hurt them. Good luck, feel free to message me if you need some more info.

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

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.Other. General questions

LED light intensitySo can anyone tell me from experience what are good light dimmer settings and height above seedlings for a SpiderFarmer SF7000? And for the other stages of life would be great. First time using LED's and don't want to fry my babies, I used to use MH and HPS lights.Week 1
