Wannabeanstarted grow question 4y ago
High! I got 100w/total, 4x1 T5 Led-strips 40cm long 2cm wide (DIY-lamp, every strip is on a fitted plate 3cm between etch other). Is this lamp enough for 4 plants threw Flowering stage? I got a 200w CFL Wedge lamp, can i somehow combine T5with the CFL lamp in a smart way? Peace🙏

I experimented with a setup like that long ago so I'd love to hear how this works out for you. The side lighting is great to prevent shadowing. I'm not a botanist but I think light that keeps the plant growing upward is good. What I don't know is if there is a downside to causing downward growth. I had good production from side branches that turned and grew downward to the light. I just don't know if they could have been better by keeping the growth always up.
I like 30 watts per square foot (30cm x 30cm) as my personal minimum and love the added yield when I can provide 50 w/ft during flowering. I think if you will do OK with the CFL above like you have and the LED strips on the sides in the top 1/3 or 1/4 of the height.

New update got my new grow light dialed in.. And the nutes helped a lot seen more growth in one day than I had in the last 23 days!
I am worried that if I place the light at the recommended height (6”) that would be too much so I’m running the lights at 50% power and at 12” away

Veg or Bloom mode for Autoflower?Hiya Folks 😊
As I'm growing an autoflower should I be using the bloom setting on my LED light instead of veg setting?
It's only a 200w system and I'm growing in a 3'x3'x6' tent.
My plant has just done 28 days from seed!!
Cheers 😉

Grow lightsI'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?Week 11

Different lightsHello people, hope you all doing fine.
So, I have 3 different light models, I´ve been using them individually for plants.
I use only autos and adjust the light distance individually.
Should I place all the lights in the roof togheter so all plants get the same amount of light?Setup. Lighting
