Will a 1000w LED be enough for flowering?
SWUKGrowerstarted grow question 3 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!

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?

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

Got a Mars Hydro TS600, will it do alright?My plan is to grow only 1 plant, in a 40x40x120 tent. I know the tent is pretty small but hopefully i can do some training on the plant to grow wide
Will the light do until the end? 100wats, but no light dim possibility. Currently growing seedling at 13 dli at 60 cm
