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 ! 🚀

Should I dim 1000w for small space?
My grow space is 46"Lx67"Hx24"D. I have a dimmable 1000w mh and will switch to 1000w hps soon. For this size space, how high should I expect to have the 1000w? Is 100% too high? Pic is older.

Grow lights
Does this look ok? I have 2 plants not growing as fast as my macchiato plant. The other two are different strains, Runtz & Zittles. I don’t want to over do it but I know light is key so I thought I’d ask. Both 1000 watt uv & the other is led. I’m on veg week 5 of all 3.

Colour lighting
Thanks to eveyone that replied to my last question, really means a lot! Another quick question about lighting I had was if I should have blue light for veg then red for flower or just have the mixed purple on for the duration of the plants life?

Can you make an Auto flower by changing the light schedule?
Ok, before everyone jumps on this with the obvious answer - I understand that you don’t NEED to change the lighting for an auto to flower, but my question is can you, if you wanted to, flip an auto to flower by changing the light schedule to 12/12?

Different lights
Hello people, hope you all doing fine. So, I have 3 different light models, I´ve been using them individually for plants. I use only autos and adjust the light distance individually. Should I place all the lights in the roof togheter so all plants get the same amount of light?

2 plants, 2 Mars Hydro TSW 2000’s, need help with pot size/tent size configuration
My plan is to flower these 2 girls in a SCROG under 2 Mars Hydro TSW 2000s (2x300W actual). I’m debating whether to flower them in 5 gallon plastic pots in a 2x4, 10 gallon pots in a 2x4, or 10 gallon pots in a 4x4. Does more area = more yield, or am I thinking about this wrong?

En qué mejora más watts de luz
What's the difference between using 100w of LED at 30/40cm from the plants versus having 50w of LED at the same distance? Or for example, with 400w of LED at 40/50cm, would they grow x(2, 3, 4) times faster?

Can I use 18 on 6 off during flower when growing autoflowers and using ViparSpectra KS5000 LED at 100% power?
I have a tent with a ViparSpectra KS5000 LED lights. If I am growing autoflowers and they are in the flower stage do I have to change the light/dark schedule from 18 on/6 off to 12 on/12 off or will it be ok to keep the lights on a 18/6 schedule since they are autoflowers?

Light for 4x4 tent?
Which would you go with for a 4x4 that is used for veg and flower: Mars Hydro TSW3000 or AC Infinity s44? I've got myself narrowed down to these two options.

Light source change stress?
Can changing light source cause stress to your plant? Yesterday I changed from a CFL to a 150w Mars Hydro LED and this morning she looked a bit "sad". I took the photo straight after watering hence the damp soil.

Effect of light only? Really?
These girls same strain (strawberry cough photo), born on same day, same medium same feeding except the one on the right was removed from the light about 3 weeks ago and put outside. I thought dark green from nutes, seems the light alone makes such a difference? 45 watt LED
