started grow question 5y ago
Hi everyone ! I’ve germinated seeds w paper towel method and they been in soil for around 30 hours now, haven’t sprouted yet. I’m worried my light could be a little too far. I have MarsHydro TS600W and it’s at around 40/50 cm from pot rn.

Are there any recommendations for a light schedule for autoflowering?
I leave them at 24 hours. I start with the seedlings at 18000 Lux and increase it till the 4th week. After the 4th week I have all my lights at full power and the top buds have around 55.000 to 90.000 Lux.

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

Switching light schedule for an auto and Phototype!
I'am growing together an auto and a phototype with 20/4 light circle. For my phototype is about time to change light schedule for flowering, will my auto be badly impacted by switching to a 12/12 light? Or should I move every day (same place but no light) the photo for the night?

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?!?

is the 'greenfingers led grow light 2000w full spectrum' not very good compared to others?
if you don't know the light you can google but there aren't any reviews i can find, compared to say spider farmer 4000 (or others) is it much worse or a little worse, etc? if that much worse when i can afford it someday should i buy another one and count this purchase as a loss?

Flower Light
Do you think this would be a good flowering light (on a budget) for a 4’x4’x80” - 1000 watt (5 plants - indoors - all hybrids ... if that matters)

DO YOU USE LED DIMMER?
Você usa o dimmer de potência do led? Usa ele em 100% ou aumenta em cada fase (seed, veg, flo)? Tenho visto as duas formas e gostaria de ouvir de amigos mais experientes. Sempre buscando mais saúde para as meninas. ✨🥦

How can I prevent these light burn issues?
It seems these Mars hydro lights are not so great. This is my third grow and having the same issue every time. Red stems where they are exposed to light. Yellowing leaves. But when I move the lights further away, stretching is very bad. Should I just get new light?
