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

I have 2 mars hydro ts1000 leds as my normal set up but I have also put back up my 600w dual spectrum HPS on an angle running at 4 to give extra light coverage, just wanted to know if there was any point in doing this as I’m not sure quite new to growing thanks in advance 💯✌️

How much light does a seedling need?
Is there a limit to what it can use? Could an LED grow bulb a couple inches away provide enough light? Up to what age? Thank you so so much. My first grow and I really appreciate it! Specifically this one https://www.gelighting.com/led-bulbs/e2624/ge-grow-balanced-spectrum-br30#

LEDs
Please help me understand LEDs as mains. Same amount of money I can run double the plants and produce larger sticky buds with hps/mhl combo. I was always under impression LEDS are a just a better florescent.

Did I start LST too early?
At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?

Marshydro FC oder FC-E
Lohnt sich der Mehrpreis der FC Serie im Vergleich zur FC-E Serie? Auf dem Papier ist der Unterschied ja eher marginal.

If I move 3wk old S.Diesel & Critical from 18hrs💡indoors to outdoors where they'll get +/-11hrs direct🌞. Is there still a risk of them going into flower even though they're still babies? I really don't want this to happen. They'll be in the woods so no chance to add extra light

Electrical power calculation
Actual 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 Any ideas?

Supplemental light for flowering?
I have a 300w quantum board LED. Its a Mars Hydro TSW 2000. Should I add more light of a different type for flowering or should I just run the LED alone? I've heard people mention the UV-B lights.

Best grow light for a 3.5x3.5?
I'm disappointed with my last yield and belive its cause of the light. Want to invest in a better product. Which one do you think will produce the biggest yield with 4 autos in a 3.5Ă—3.5 feet wide tent? - Lumateck Attis 300W - Mars Hydro TSW 2000 300W I want the biggest buds

When to switch LED to 100% power?
Another question. I appreciate everyone's response to the last ones. I am finding it difficult to google this one. When do I switch my LED to 100%? Currently, I am running it at roughly 60% at about 24in. Am I in 'true' veg? Its working on its 3rd node that has 5 fingers.

Leaves "praying" after lowering the lamp
I am in week 4th of flowering Laughing Buddha, 220W LED ~60cm from tops. Today I have lowered the lamp and the leaves started "praying", on one (higher) plant the other, mostly-indica Holy Punch seems unaffected. I am curious, is there too much light or sweet spot and it's good?

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.

I've basically been researching for the past 24 hours. I've gotten some REALLY GOOD advice from @Nobody01 and @ActioPauliana Mars Hydro TSW2000 or TS 3000 Easy Grow s600 v2 or s800 v2 (anyone using or used this model?) Vipra Spectra P2500 Any growers that use these, I'm all ears.
