answered grow question 5y ago
3200k my personal or 5000k a mixture of both would be Ideal I don't know why you would want to only chose one though. This is all LED based I assume are you counting MH bulbs they can be very good for vegative growth just expensive to run.

When to switch LED to 100% power?
Another question. I appreciate everyone's response to the last ones. I am finding it difficult to google this one. When do I switch my LED to 100%? Currently, I am running it at roughly 60% at about 24in. Am I in 'true' veg? Its working on its 3rd node that has 5 fingers.

HPS 400w Vs MarsHydro TSW2000 cost
Alguém me sabe dizer o quanto menos uma luz LED gasta comparado a uma HPS ? Por exemplo, estou usando uma HPS 400w, e subiu 40€ na conta de eletricidade, se usar uma MarsHydro TSW2000, iria fazer grande diferença ? Obrigado

Eyeball and advise on my set up, and is this seedling stretching?
Is my set up good until my humidifier comes? (using inflow air from in-line fan with a tray of water for humidity for now). I set up an additional light because I was concerned that this bad boy was stretching and want to provide some extra light for lower canopy later.

i was watching a video on youtube and the person was using an led light which had separate toggle switches for bloom and veg and during flowering of autoflowers he had both switches on and was wondering if that is better to have both on and if so is it only good for autoflowers?

Lighting. Increase or stay the same?
Hi, I'm thinking about increasing lighting to 100%... is it too soon? Currently at 60% 20 inches away (manufacturers recommendation.) I'm thinking 100% but staying at 20 inches away.. what's your thoughts? Too soon? (12" - 18" 100% for veg manufacturers guidelines)

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😎

DO YOU USE LED DIMMER?
Você usa o dimmer de potência do led? Usa ele em 100% ou aumenta em cada fase (seed, veg, flo)? Tenho visto as duas formas e gostaria de ouvir de amigos mais experientes. Sempre buscando mais saúde para as meninas. ✨🥦

Lowering light
Should I lower my lights and decrease the intensity to get better penetration or keep them the same height and increase intensity? (These are auto flowers about 50 days old getting towards the end of flower)

Thank you guys! for watering, I don't know how she can react giving her more than 250ml. I can try but I don't want to drown her. For the light, unfortunately direct sun light arrives from 11.30/12 am to 7pm. Before it is covered by other buildings behind my terrace.

Is your machine helper leaking light?
Everyone has their ACs and dehumidifiers and whatnot machines in the grow space. Are you covering every little light of those machines in the flowering chamber? Many hermies will be avoided with some aluminium tape. Stay safe, cover those lights and grow ganja!
