Help! Timer problem.
RichBud5
started grow question 5y ago
My timer on 18-6 broke and i'm not sure if the girls had 24 hours for the past couple days... by putting them back into 18-6 will that trick them into flower? Hope not. Thanks :)

Nope, theyll be fine. They wont start flowering until they have 12 hrs or less of light. Good luck!

600w hps
Wouldnt let me PM. I have a 5ft long 3ft wide 6ft tall white walled grow room and am thinking about a 600w HPS light now. Will this fill the entire room? If so how many plants should I plant? Will this one suffice? Would a 400w hps be more suitable for this space?

Spiderfarmer SF1000 tips
Hello guys I've got a question about my new lights. I have the led panel from spiderfarmer SF1000. Any tips on how to use it? 😆 Should I dim it for the seedling stage or have it constantly at 100% power?

Light hanging distance
I’m not sure how high to hang my light. My plants seem to be all staying extremely squat and not stretching, though all seem healthy. I’ve been fiddling between 18-28 inches and 600-800 ppfd (ios meter app) and I can’t find a distance that seems to make them happier. D26 autos

Switching to bloom nutes and photoperiod changes?
When should I start giving bloom nutrients and stopping the veg nutrients? Also can I switch my light cycle to 24hrs to increase the temps and maximise my yield? Or will this mess with the plants?

Will increasing light intensity restart stalled seedlings
Seeking advice from Mars Hydro TS1000 growers. When do you increase light intensity during seedling stage? I've had the light 30cm above the plant at 25% power since germination. The plants stalled 2 weeks ago. Can I get them going again by raising intensity or will I fry them?

Which strategy with auxiliary grow Leds ? 3x20w Leds -Thanks !
Helps maturing but I wonder if buds are bigger. I used to put 3 extra lights 20 cm below canopy, leave many large leaves at the top and lollypop 30%. 30% is definitely not enough even with those 20w LEDS (50% is probably better). How do you use extra LEDS ? Where do you put them?

How to get a new led light from sponsor
I need a new led light. I'm trying to get some from contests but it seems quite difficult and sometimes the awardees seem to not always be the best. Does anyone know how I could get a light from a good sponsor? Thank you my growmies! Hope everything is ok with you (=

Maximum
I have the LM-3100 Light Meter app on my iPhone using a piece of paper to diffuse like it instructs but I am not sure what the optimal Lux/FC should be. Specifically for LED lights, it is confusing. I have a viaspectra P2590z what’s the max/optimal light?
