mannicropperstarted grow question 3 years ago

Anyone used the Phlizon Cree COB 2000w lights? I’m running two in a 8’x4’ under a scrog net. 5 weeks into veg but nowhere near where they should be. Used only the COBs in veg as some suggested but had to put on full blast today and hope for some speedy growth before I flower them

Its not the light my friend its the hanging height. Bring them down. Have a look at your lights power and look at what it says online the recommended hanging height for your LED light is paramount. :) Hope this helps pal nice looking plants anyway :) healthy and green 👊

Thanks Uk420Show, I’ve checked and found the suggested hang height is 24” so I’ve adjusted to that. Due to flower on Sunday, hope the stretch fills out the scrog and I still get good yields. Hoping for 1k in dry weight 😬

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.

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake. After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened? Photo at 5 weeks.

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, Mr.STM

This question is for the single plant scroggers :) What kind of yield do you think I would get from a full 4x4 like the one below just a rough guide as I find the strain info saying 500per square meter. but I find most strains say that lol thanks

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Dark leaves and short/compact plant 18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.

They look healthy, but they're all only 1.5" to 2" tall. Do I need to raise my lights? They're currently @ 14" above the leaves with 1x225wLED & 2x 32wLED.
