Which led? leds are not even close to the same. 200 watts can be dramatically different from one light to the next.

anywhere from 12" in flower (depending on your diodes) to 24" in flower... (depending on the diodes).. A safe veg height could be anywhere from 20"-36" .. Need to know the brand and model name of the led if you want advice about it.

Currently running my KingLED 2000 with both Bloom and Veg switches on. Is this the correct time to go just with the Bloom lighting? There's no harm in running both throughout; correct? Except to the power bill of course. Any thoughts?

Growing out instead of up.
Please help out! I moved it into a new pot and topped it last week as suggested. Also new ViparSpectra light at 45cm away @80% power. Nutrients/food yet to arrive. It seems to just be growing out instead of up, and starting to see some white/ burnt looking spots. Suggestions?

My grow tent is sitting in my basement, which normally sits at 10C in the winter, so I set the heat in the room to 18C and the LED and 2 fans heat it to 20.4C in the tent. Anyone have a similar setup but using their grow lights as a heat source? Heating a basement is expensive.

Grow Light Popped Its Clogs.
Hey Guys😬 So my grow light has popped its clogs, but I am currently unemployed and broke, and the flat that I live in does not have enough sun to move the plants to that source. Anybody got a really low-budget solution or idea? I can construct if need be. Wanting at least 200w

Longer Light Cycle - Mid Bloom
Is changing the light cycle of an autoflower from 18/6 to 20/4 in mid flower too stressful? Doing so would bump my DLI enough to keep my existing light through harvest. She sleeps like clockwork but less so now in mid flower. Will she adjust in a couple days to a longer day?

Bud too close to the light
Hi. The main bud on one is 10cm from the light. I cant raise the light any higher and have a bit more vertical growth to go. Shall I remove the bud at a lower artery, or leave it and bend it around the light somehow?? Don't want to loose the main bud but will if I have to?!?

Boost buddy
Ahora con la subida de temperaturas estoy alcanzando los 31-34°C en el indoor. Uso Boost Buddy un generador de CO2 a través de la descomposición de bacterias. Solo con eso ya estaría bien o debería modificar de alguna manera el indoor para no llegar a esas temperaturas? Gracias

Grow lights
I'm currently looking for a new grow light. But it's crazy how many choices there are. Since my grow area is very small, 40x40cm or 1x1', I don't need a lot of wattage. So would prefer to invest in quality over quantity. Any suggestions?

Light strength
2 of my autos have been harvested and now I just have 1 mature plant mid flower and I've started my 3 other seedlings. I've got a tsw 2000 w/310 wts. Should I keep my lights at 100% for maximum growth or should I back off a touch to say 75 or 80%?
