Will a 1000w LED be enough for flowering?
SWUKGrowerstarted grow question 6y 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!
For sure😉
If it's really 1000 watt LED (which I doubt), then you've got a solid lamp there.
And it's from a good brand.
I grew with 600 watts and was already happy with that.
I think you'll get nice results just by looking at the light, of course😁
The LED consumes much less and doesn't get hot at all, that's really a difference.
So I definitely understand you.
Many still believe that HPS gives more yield, but nowadays the LED lamps are pretty good and do their job.
Of course, nothing compares to our natural sun🌞
Good luck with growing!🌱

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,
People are really being misled into thinking it's all about the watts. It's not always clearly indicated on the websites. What a shame! I think many are growing their plants with too little light.

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!

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

Grow light upgrade importanceImportance of light spectrum? I'm upgrading my 5 small 15W lights with a 240w Grow Bar with Samsung LM281B diodes. My girls are growing and look fairly healthy but the speed is super slow. I'm installing the upgrade today, can I expect better results and speedier growth? 21w veg

LED LightsAnyone 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

LUX meter grow questionCan someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them.
My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light alreadyWeek 7
