Whats going on with my Grow lights ?
Rooflowerstarted grow question 3 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.

Light intensityMy plants have been looking sad for a couple weeks. Tried everything then the other night I turned my light down to 40% giving a DLI of 28 they perked right up with 24 hours. I have now put it up to 60% giving a DLI off 39 will this be ok or should I keep it low. Week 2 flower.

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

New Light? Find a way to raise light? More Fans? Combination? (Light: 44" above ground level | Tent Height: 63" Day avg: 78.6f) Should i worry?What do you guys recommend as far as lighting for this tent? I have a 300w led light but at the height it's currently at it is producing a large amount of heat with my exhaust and two oscillating fans? I also have other plants in with my seedling so could the humidity cause it?

Electrical power calculationActual power consumption of lights is lower than led manufactorer says.
25 leds of 3W each = 75W plus an internal fan plus some other circuits,Total power should be more than 75W and i calculated 58.3W overall.
Vac=220 , I=0.265A

T5 vs. LED for veg?So I have a T5 light, and I’ve used it to veg quite a bit, and it does really well. My question is, should I use the T5 in just the seedling phase, then use LED for veg and flower? Or will the T5 give me good results throughout the veg cycle?Week 3
