When turn on the lights?
GrowwUpstarted grow question 4 years ago
It's pretty warm here right now already. When is the right moment to turn the light on? It's a dual spectrum 300w CFL under a 470x470 reflector and both seedlings are auto fem. What's the best light schedule? 24/0? 18/6? Thanks

Hi !
Ga voor 18/6, dat is ideaal.
Planten houden van wat duisternis zo nu en dan🙂
Ze hebben dit naar mijn mening toch wel nodig om goed te groeien.
Probeer je timer zo in te stellen dat de lampen uit zijn op de warmste uren van de dag😉
Bij autoflowers blijft dit natuurlijk dezelfde lichtcyclus, maar ik deed dit zo met mijn fotoperiode planten.
Bij 18/6 draaiden ze op de koudste momenten en bij 12/12, liet ik mijn lampen vooral in de nacht branden.
Dat maakte dat de dag-nachttemperatuur niet zo een groot verschil gaf en de plant geen last had van de koude nachten waarmee ik hier te maken kreeg.
Maar jij kan dus die 6 uren gebruiken voor de warmste momenten🙂
Ik hoop dat ik kon helpen.
Veel succes!🌱

Depends on your setup
If heat is an issue and its coming from the environment then having lights off during the heat of the day works.
18-6 works well and gives you a larger window to avoid heat.
Up to you

What lights for a 2'x3'x6' tent?What light or lights for a 2x3 footprint? Veg and flower. Deciding between 2x Viparspectra XS 1500, 2x HLG RSpec 100, or a combo 1 of each. Budget is 200-300ish. Cheaper is better. Open to suggestions. Not sure if I should have 2 of the same lights or mix n match.

'Claws' on tips just after flowering started. Previous answers help - it is a bit worse. I keep a perfect VPD. What should I do? Flower wouldnt fI'm confused. For the first 3w I used LED as instructed 30-40cm, I had ~43cm,100%dim, everything was fine. When the bloom started yellow claws appeared and still there, maybe a bit worse, with 53cm and 75%dim. Mostly on BPP, one more plant showed her claws today aswell. 😓

Mars Hyrdo TS600 - 100w but mistook for 600wI've recently found out that the led light I have which is a Mars Hydro TS600 is not in fact 600w and is actually 100w.
Do I need to compensate in any way? My plants look healthy but short, I don't want to put the light too far away that it's ineffective, how close is too close?a year ago

Lamp distanceHello. I have a question about my lamp distance. I’ve changed the lamp to MARS HYDRO 2023 TS600 LED a week ago and a distance to the plant was 18 inches. During this week a plant grew and the distance became 12 inches. I lifted the lamp to 13 inches. What distance I have to keep?Week 6

Can a 1000w LED grow light be closer than 60cm (24") to a seedling?Different sources are saying: 1000w LED light should not be closer to a seedling than 60-75cm (24"-30"). The seedling should be getting 5000-7000 lux, 100-300 PAR (PPFD 18h) and 12-20 DLI.
Question: Can I put the light closer at ~40cm, dimmed to match the needed lux, par and dli

Slight leaf tip "burn"What do you think is causing this burn on my leaves? It seems to be quite common. and maybe nothing to worry about if it's this minute. but I would prefer to not burn my plants at all if possible. Could it be a sign of underwatering? Light distance? i have a dimmer keepin at 1000a year ago

Is this a sign of too much light?I’m noticing the leaves grow extremely close to each other, should I be concerned at this stage, should I pull the light higher back? This is day 3 of week 2, I’m feeding it full advanced nutrients line up for veg. And drying out for a day and a half between waterings

Auto seedlings, lighting question!Hi! I have a question. I am just about to start my first indoor grow, it’s relatively small, only two plants, both autos. I am using the Telos 6 mesh LED for lighting but I am unclear as to when to switch the power from 25-50%? Is it when the first true leaves appear? ThanksSetup. Lighting
