Should I dim 1000w for small space?
DeadwebsiteBoringcommunityanswered grow question 4 years ago
Dude that's too much light with not enough space.. Your heat.. Your "Over lighting". You'd be way better off with a 250w or 400w. Contact a bulb supplier and find out from them what they would advise.. But a 1000 watt with 2 feet of height is NO good. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the truth is it's not a good idea to substantially dim down any grow light period.. Unless you are having problems.

Light strength2 of my autos have been harvested and now I just have 1 mature plant mid flower and I've started my 3 other seedlings. I've got a tsw 2000 w/310 wts. Should I keep my lights at 100% for maximum growth or should I back off a touch to say 75 or 80%?Setup. Lighting

Wrong light scheduleScrewed up light timing.
Thought I was on an 18/6 schedule in my tent but apparently it was 12/12 from weeks 3-7. It’s close to needing to be switched over to flowering size wise. I switched over properly to 18/6 two days ago and plan to keep it there for an extra week. Yes?Week 7

How much light - PPFD - without CO2?How high in power should I go with my lights without CO2 enrichment? I can comfortably provide 1200 PPFD to the canopy, but I'm holding it down near 900 because I'm not sure the extra power used would yield an increase in, um, yield.Week 7

Grow Light AdviceHelloo growmies!
I've got a question.. I need a new light for vegging (only) in a 80x80cm tent.
I am thinking of eather the LIGHTWAVE T5HO 60 CM (48W) or
MarsHydro TS 600 (100W)
Has some one experience with those lights? Is it worth spending double on electricity with the MH?Setup. Lighting
