Should I use Blue light switch or Red light switch or both for vegetative growth?
Daddostarted grow question 3 years ago
I'm currently using a Giixer 1000W LED grow light. The lamp has two switches. One for "blue" light ay 450nm and one for "red" at 600-700nm. I am currently in week one of the vegetative stage. I have both switches on for "full spectrum" lighting. Blue or Red switch alone?

I would use both so you have "Full Spectrum" lighting which is better because it's more similar to the sun.

I always have both switched on, from day one to harvest and believe the plants grow much better in the veg stage with both lights on.
Hope this helps,.........

I've been running both lights on since day one. They seem to be doing well.

hey there daddo, you can keep the blue for veg, then switch both on for flowering , honestly you can get away with having them both on for the whole grow, wont do any harm, not really. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Which of the two options do you choose and why:
Option 1: 1440w over 40sqft giving 36w per sqft
Option 2: 1440w over 48sqft giving 30w per sqft.
The difference is an extra 2x4 of grow space. Do i go for more lumens or more plants? This is my first LED setupWeek 4

Lights Got Stuck On When It Should Have Been DarkI found last night that the timer for my lights got stuck on for close to 8 hours past when it should have been in dark period. I immediately turned them off and put it on dark for 12 hours. What do else do I need to do or look out for? Is re veg a high possibility?4 years ago

Nanners?Can someone verify my latest 2 photos look like nanners? If so, I’d love some insight on why my plants seem to be so light sensitive. Most growers seem to blast their plants with upwards of 200w with little issue. Mine is sitting at 80w 22inches and it seems to be struggling!4 years ago

Starting photos indoors for June transplantWant to start photos on a 14/10 schedule in April to match the lights around June 1st. Can I grow my babies on a 14/10 indoor schedule or could that possibly induce early flowering? I would rather not slowly adjust down from 18 to 14 before Xplant as suggested otherwiseSetup. Lighting

Too close to the “sun”(light).... any advice?My plant grew close to 4x it’s original size during her stretch, 10-12” on day one of 12/12 to 46” tall. She’s on day 30 of flower and I set up a second ScrOG net. Other than blocking light to shorter plants, do you see any other potential problems this second net might cause?

Wich of those cheap lights would be advised under 200€ and that would fit both final vegging state and flowering?
The grow space is 80cmx80cmx160cm and keeping in mind that the weather along with the lack of ventilation budget limits my options to colder leds.
Thanks in advanceWeek 1
