Grow QuestionsWill a 1000w LED be enough for flowering?

Will a 1000w LED be enough for flowering?

SWUKGrowerstarted grow question 4 years ago

Im about to start my 3rd ever grow, now I cant get enough of it. For my last 2 grows, in a 90x90x200 tent, I've has a MARS Hydro TS 1000w LED for Veg / 600w HPS for Flowering.... Can I use only the LED throughout? The heat from the HPS is crazy. Cant wait to start posting on here

Hi ! Zeker wel😉 Als het effectief 1000 watt LED is (waar ik dus aan twijfel), dan heb je al een stevige lamp beet. En ze is van een goed merk. Ik groeide met 600 watt en was daar al blij mee. Denk dat je mooie resultaten zal krijgen als ik enkel naar het licht kijk natuurlijk😁 De LED verbruikt veel minder en word helemaal niet warm, dat is echt wel een verschil. Dus ik begrijp je zeker. Velen gaan er nog steeds vanuit dat HPS meer opbrengst geeft, maar tegenwoordig zijn de LED lampen best goed en doen ze hun werk. Natuurlijk is niets te vergelijken met onze natuurlijke zon🌞 Veel succes met groeien!🌱

SWUKGrower, HPS is echt nog typisch van vroeger, dan bestond LED nog niet. Dus er zijn er die erbij zweren dat je HPS moet gebruiken. Maar in een kleine tent met bijvoorbeeld 2 plantjes is dat echt overdreven, dan ben je meer bezig met de warmte buiten te krijgen dan met je planten zelf😂 En ja inderdaad, Growdiaries is echt nice, je kan hier best veel informatie vinden en heel wat bijleren🌱

The8thChevron, Mensen worden toch echt op het verkeerde spoor gezet, met hun te doen denken dat het veel watt is. Het staat niet altijd duidelijk aangegeven op de websites. Jammer dat! Ik denk dat er velen zo hun kweek op te weinig licht draaien.

Thankyou, I asked this same question on another site last year and was told me HPS was needed to Flower plants, ever since I've been battling the heat which currently stands at stand at 31c. Grow Diaries looks pretty cool, I've spent hours scrolling though stuff!

That is actually a 150W light. I would consider getting a second one, otherwise your coverage area in flower is only 2x2 I believe. It will certainly take a plant (maybe 2) all the way through flowering with no issues though!

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?
