Lights for heat- 24/7 okay?
Lumberdogstarted grow question 3 years ago
I really need the heat of the lights to keep the inside of my tent warm. To warm the air around the tent 24/7 would be expensive- much more expensive than using the lights all the time. But will this work with 24 hour lights? Will that stress the plants? Using auto flowers.

technically. Yes plants can be grown under 24 hour light. according to studies done on plants grown in 24 hour light. You have autoflowers so give it a try and see how it goes.. Definitely someone will come along and be like NO this what I do.. But science and studies done says plants will develop a Circadian rhythm even under 24 hour lighting so as long as they autoflower like they are suppose to you should be A-ok.

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

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?

Should I substitute sunlight with a grow lamp on cloudy days?It’s overcast here today and I’m wondering if I should turn my grow lights on to compensate for the lack of direct sunlight. If so, should I drop the intensity to compensate for the additional natural light? Can you overdo the amount of light (not heat) a plant gets?

Set Up TentHow should I set up my carbon filter, exhaust fan & air ducts? I’m in limited space right now but want to make sure I get good air circulation still. I set it up the wrong way the last time I had it up but it was already up so I just left it. Also, my fans. Where should they go ?

Swapping lights during floweringDo you guys think that swapping lights at the late flowering stage is going to harm my girls in any way? Been fortunate enough to be able to order myself a Viparspectra xs4000 to replace the v600. And as I understand it should be quite an upgrade.
Thanks for any advice!Week 7
