Start at 36"inches and work your way to 18" as the plant grows.

Hps mixed with mars hydro 600 yield?
Hey all! So i been thinking about ways to cut heat of course lol. So I’m thinking about getting a mars hydro 600 and running it with my 400w hps at 250w on the dimmer. Do you guys think I will yield about the same as if I was just running the hps on super lumens?

How big of an issue is light? HELP
How do you know whether to raise or lower your lights? My LED is pulling about 250watts from the wall... Box said keep light 30" away during veg... But I'm not so sure about that. Thoughts? How will I know if it needs more/less light?

Lighting question
I am running the Viparspectra 450w LED as my light for 4 autos in a 2x4 space. I am worried this isn’t enough, especially because of its lower levels of red. Should I upgrade to something stronger like a Mars hydro 600 or 1000 before flowering start?Or if not Mars something else?

Light setup
Currently I only got 2 x 50W / 5000K flood lights for veg and approx 150W / 2700K later for flowering. Both LED. Planning to keep lights close to plant - 35-45cm. Do you think its going to be sufficient or should I get professional lights asap?

Lighting. Increase or stay the same?
Hi, I'm thinking about increasing lighting to 100%... is it too soon? Currently at 60% 20 inches away (manufacturers recommendation.) I'm thinking 100% but staying at 20 inches away.. what's your thoughts? Too soon? (12" - 18" 100% for veg manufacturers guidelines)

2x2x4 yield expectations?
I want to use a 2x2x4 tent, growing (Gorilla Cookies) autos in Nature Living super soil mixed with Coco Loco. I want to yield just a few high quality ounces. Is this easily achievable with one 3 gallon pot under a SF-1000? Should I be concerned with any plant height issues?

I purchased two Vipar Spectra 300 LED Lights. I am only using one right now because i was concerned two would be too much for the seedling phase. Should I keep just the one light or Put up Both ? When would be a good point in the plants life cycle to put up the extra lights ?
