Led mounted on side wall instead of top
Mel_Macallanstarted grow question 3 years ago
So I'm thinking about to build a pc grow box, just for seedlings. When they start to be bigger I'll move them to bigger grow box. I have a spare grow light but it's to wide to mount in top of grow box. So I was wondering if I could mount it on the side wall?

You could,it will only stretch for the light so keep it close and keep turning it and it shouldn't be an issue.If it does stretch a little just plant it up higher.Get some more dirt/coco/stones/rockwool in there.

just an idea : you can get 22W LED strips that should be easy to handle. Hope this helps ! 🚀

If you do, your plants will grow sideways, toward the light.

If you do mount on the side you could flip it than the side would be the top.

You could I wouldn't. I would use something that it would fit in or on top of. I use an old dresser I cut the top open and my lights sit on the top. Lights not in the box. You could use almost anything that fits the needs of your seeds and light.

Eyeball and advise on my set up, and is this seedling stretching?Is my set up good until my humidifier comes? (using inflow air from in-line fan with a tray of water for humidity for now).
I set up an additional light because I was concerned that this bad boy was stretching and want to provide some extra light for lower canopy later.

Longer Light Cycle - Mid BloomIs 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?Week 8

Can I switch my lighting schedule ?Hello everyone. 1st grow here. I'd like to swap my lighting (automatic plants) from [4am:midnight] to [4pm:noon] just to keep the temperature a little higher at night. Is it doable while not hurting the ladies or should I shift it an hour per day to change the cycle ?
Thanks !Setup. Lighting

1 inch seedling under a humidity dome sprayed with water in a 24x24x36 Vivosun tent. I’m using a mars hydro ts 600 watt led which is 21 inches above my seedling (small tent). Do I downgrade to my 150 watt ufo light until I can do LST? This mars led is definitely warming up thingsSetup. Lighting
