What height and power for seedlings? Kingbrite 480w in 3x3

GWSD82started grow question 3 years ago

Kingbrite 480w in 3x3 tent - What height and power for 1 week old seedlings? Currently 30 inches from plant at about 50% power. Too much, or not enough? Anyone have experience with these lights?

Not familiar with the light, but your height and 50% sounds about right! Good luck ✌️🏻💚🌿

@ChitownCannaChica thanks. I think this is about right, they seem to be growing ok, so I'll just gradually increase them as time goes on with a view to be at 100% power by the time they hit flowering stage. Will keep an eye out for light stress if it gets too much.

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

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.

Lights Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

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?

Lux Meter and Hydroponics Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.

I purchased two Vipar Spectra 300 LED Lights. I am only using one right now because i was concerned two would be too much for the seedling phase. Should I keep just the one light or Put up Both ? When would be a good point in the plants life cycle to put up the extra lights ?
