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 ! 🚀

Switching light schedule for an auto and Phototype!I'am growing together an auto and a phototype with 20/4 light circle. For my phototype is about time to change light schedule for flowering, will my auto be badly impacted by switching to a 12/12 light? Or should I move every day (same place but no light) the photo for the night?Setup. Lighting

Started the plants off with 60 watts. Increased to 100 watts today with a 20/5 schedule. Could I increase to the full 150 watts already or should I give them a few days with 100? Thanks in advance for any advice. It’s my first indoor grow with this setup and I’m still learning :)Week 1

Mars Hydro - TS1000 or TSW2000?I have a 80x80x160 tent. I’m pretty set on getting a Mars Hydro in the future. but should I go for the TS1000 or the TSW2000? My concern is that the 2000 might get my tent too hot for me to handle and might be more than what I need since I’m only growing one plant.Setup. Lighting

Changing Lighting ScheduleThe days on the plants are since planting, so i was going to keep the vegetative light schedule until 5 weeks since planting, then start moving towards a 12/12.
Is it even optimal for an autoflower to have a traditional 12/12 lighting schedule during flowering?Week 4

78,600 lumens at canopy, ok for pre-flower and flowering?I have recently received a lumen meter. Measuring 78,600 lumen over canopy, is that OK? For my other grow, does anyone know how many lumens seedlings need (at about 25000 now) ? I can convert from PPFD or PAR. Educate me! ThanksWeek 7

'Claws' on tips just after flowering started. Previous answers help - it is a bit worse. I keep a perfect VPD. What should I do? Flower wouldnt fI'm confused. For the first 3w I used LED as instructed 30-40cm, I had ~43cm,100%dim, everything was fine. When the bloom started yellow claws appeared and still there, maybe a bit worse, with 53cm and 75%dim. Mostly on BPP, one more plant showed her claws today aswell. 😓Leaves. Edges burnt
