4000K might be better for terpenes but i find 3500K works for me , 3000 is too yellow. UV/IR helps less than you think, depends how you use it , just turn it on at random 15-20 minutes several times a day, that should work. hope this helps ! 🚀

Are these stretching? What should I do for the 2x top that barely sprouted?
Viparspectra xs2000. Just moved it to a 25" distance and 50% light intensity hoping it'll help, but unsure if it'll burn them? What should I do? Top 2x seeds JUST sprouted and are just barely above the soil. How to accommodate all plants regarding light intensity and distance?

Veg or Bloom mode for Autoflower?
Hiya Folks 😊 As I'm growing an autoflower should I be using the bloom setting on my LED light instead of veg setting? It's only a 200w system and I'm growing in a 3'x3'x6' tent. My plant has just done 28 days from seed!! Cheers 😉

Is it too late for scrog and have I had the light too low during the veg stage?
So I noticed pistils appearing and now I'm worried that I've had my light too low during veg (~8k lux). Is it too late for scrog at this point or will they continue to grow? I've now bumped the light up to 22K lux should I lower the light to increase the intensity even more? TIA

ViparSpectra XS 1000 (x2) vs. HLG 100 RSpec (x2)
Thoughts on VS XS 1000 (x2) vs. me buying HLG 100 RSpec (x2)? They'd go to either side of my HLG 225 in a tent that's 2.75' deep and 5' wide to 'fill the wings' more evenly. Thoughts on build, safety, quality & heat? HLG 100RSpec:0 / XS1000: (on sale this weekend)

Is My LED Strong Enough To Grow And Bud 2 Plants?
Hey guys, I'm currently growing 2 plants under a 600w LED... I think it's actually closer to 100w. I'm getting about 20k lux from 10inches away... Do I need another more powerful light for flowering? Help please it's my first grow XD

Hi first time grower here. Been vegging 4 plants in 80cmx80x160 tent with 150W LED (Mars Hydro TS1000). Start of 2nd week flower today and I added another 150W LED. Could that potentially increase my yield? Thanks!

Light power
Is a 100-watt lamp sufficient? I don't consume much, so I opted for a modest light, anticipating lower yields. Can the quality match that of weed grown under a stronger light(600watt), despite producing fewer grams overall?

Temperature VS More Light which is better for buds size and potency
Should I continue to use two LEDS if temps are reaching 87f during flower (day 1) or just move plants more towards center of tent and use one LED for better temperatures (75f) (only growing two plants). lights are 1000w bestiva and are in a tent that is 24"x48"60".

UV light
Where exactly should the uv light be placed? Is it possible to place it between two spotlights? Or is it better at the ends of the lamps? What uv light do I need for a space of 1m2? I'm very lost, help please! Thank you!
