Whats going on with my Grow lights ?
Rooflowerstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hey there ,
I was looking at that picture and noticed a difference brightness of those lights and the red color differ
At least at the camera lens !
They supposed to be the same wattage 🤔
So I was wondering , is that the reason why BananaOG is a bit smaller and underdeveloped 🤓

Yes, as you can see, this and many other elements create micro climates , that over time lead to different results across plants. Lights, airflow, watering position, etc. Hope this helps ! 🚀

pretty sure watts isn't everything, spectrum means a lot. not sure if they correlate completely but I assume not because different types of light (HUD,LED) give different spectrum on same watts I think. as between brands that may both be LED , if they are not the exact same light than spectrum may differ from company to company on same watt LEDs. But if they are the exact same light it is probably got a dial to turn up the intensity. so look for the dial and put it to 100% if it not.

Many manufacturers advertise totally bogus "equivalent" wattages. You need to look at the actual wattage the fixture consumes. A Kil-A-Watt can be used to measure how much power the light is actually consuming. You can also download a light meter app to your phone. Holding your phone above each plant will tell you if one is receiving more light than the others.

Колличество светаПодскажите., почему во всех гайдах и пособиях пищут что автоцветам нужно на цветении 500mmol/cm2 а фотопиродным 700, в то время как реально под солнечным светом растение в ауте получает 1400-1600. Почему не дать столько же света растениям в индоре?Week 9

Diferencia en el color verde de las hojasEstas plantas automáticas están recibiendo la misma alimentación, agua, etc y están en el mismo tipo de sustrato. Pero unas (las más oscuras) reciben luz artificial adicional (Neón CFL) para llegar a tener 17h de luz al día. ¿Es normal la diferencia? ¿Cuál se ve mejor?Setup. Lighting

Which strategy with auxiliary grow Leds ? 3x20w Leds -Thanks !Helps maturing but I wonder if buds are bigger. I used to put 3 extra lights 20 cm below canopy, leave many large leaves at the top and lollypop 30%. 30% is definitely not enough even with those 20w LEDS (50% is probably better). How do you use extra LEDS ? Where do you put them?Week 10
