Other than recommended distance from the manufacture, how do I know how dim/bright the light should be? Also, since these are autos, do I flip at 5 weeks, or just keep going until I’m ready to?
Solved
Week 3
Setup. Lighting

Leave the light cycle on at the same timing the whole life of an auto—- 18/6, 20/4, or 24/0— whatever you do. I personally don’t dim after week two. Seedlings get 59% at 24 inches and I gradually increase power and decrease distance. Good luck ✌️🏻💚🌿

Autos don't need the light flip that's why they're called autoflowers. The light should be on full strength if hung at the correct distance 🌱👍

Handig om te weten, ik had die kaart erbij zien staan, maar wist niet helemaal hoe ik dit moest overbrengen, haha. Bedankt om dit duidelijk te maken, The8thChevron👍 Over die autoflowers, zeer slecht vertaald hier, ik denk dat er bedoeld word of de bloeischakelaar moet worden omgedraaid of niet? Dat dit niet over de lichtcyclus gaat van een autoflower. Nu ja, wat er ook bedoeld word, beide antwoorden werden gegeven 😁 Bedankt om zo goed aan te vullen!!

You need to judge the ppfd, this is basically a measurement of light available for photosynthesis. Mars Hydro includes ppfd maps on their site and everywhere they sell their lights. Seedlings: 400 ppfd Veg: 600 ppfd Flower: 900 ppfd You can't really go by height recommendations, because where your plants are placed relative to the light make a difference. For example, a plant in the direct center will receive way more ppfd than one on the outskirts. This is why the maps are so handy. Mars Hydro is also very trustworthy with their maps. Sidenote: if you're using CO2 injection, your plants can handle higher levels of light. Autos will flower on their own, you don't need to flip at all. It's best to keep them on an 18/6 schedule throughout the entire grow. Some people choose 20/4 or even 24/0, but I'm a firm believer in dark cycles being beneficial.

Hi ! Ik kon dit voor je vinden voor de Mars Hydro TSL 2000. Dit is de aanbevolen afstand op vol vermogen (300 watt) Begin hiermee en kijk hoe je plant hierop reageert en pas aan indien het nodig is🙂 Zaailing: 24 " Vegetarisch: 18 "- 24" Bloem: 12 "- 18" Moest je een zwaardere lamp hebben zou ik kiezen om te dimmen of niet op vol vermogen te zetten, maar 300 watt door heel de periode is verdraagzaam🙂 Voor autoflowers, de bloeischakelaar pas omdraaien van zodra je planten beginnen bloeien. Succes met groeien!🌱
