Lights died
Steevoh978
started grow question 5y ago
So my lights died last night. Would a 2000 watt be good for a 4×4 tent?

hey Steevo, it's probably overkill to be honest, you're alright with 600W , anything much more than that is a bonus, but i would get a dimmer for it just in case. hope this helps ! 🚀

If its HID light, may be a bit overkill. If its LED it depends on what it draws from wall wattage.

What kind of light level (lux) during the dark cycle will cause my plants to herm in the flowering stage?
What kind of light level (lux) during the dark cycle will cause my plants to herm in the flowering stage? I am growing in my bathroom (no windows) and I am worried about external light entering. My bathroom has 3 LED (30W) bulbs in, I have removed the 2 closest to my plants.

Lighting. Increase or stay the same?
Hi, I'm thinking about increasing lighting to 100%... is it too soon? Currently at 60% 20 inches away (manufacturers recommendation.) I'm thinking 100% but staying at 20 inches away.. what's your thoughts? Too soon? (12" - 18" 100% for veg manufacturers guidelines)

Seedlings struggling
This is day 10 since they popped out and it just seems as if my seedlings are stunted. I kept an 85w CFL about 10cm from their tops for the first week and then raised it up to about 15cm for the next few days. They had humidity domes. Temp was 20°C-24 in day

LED light - Veg / Bloom
Hey guys and girls, I have 2 autos that are a week old and looking strong. I have a Phlizon 600W Led light which comes well recommended. It has 2 switches. VEG & BLOOM. You can have 1 or both on. Should I have both switches on (full power) at this early stage or just VEG?

Advice what lamp for vegging.
High guys, My Jack Herer will move soon to a closet with a 60x60 cm surface. For flowering I will use a 180 watt Hans Panel. And I do have 2 led lights at home for vegging. My first option is the Spectrabox. And my second option is the Cree Cob led. What is my best option?

Lighting question
I am running the Viparspectra 450w LED as my light for 4 autos in a 2x4 space. I am worried this isn’t enough, especially because of its lower levels of red. Should I upgrade to something stronger like a Mars hydro 600 or 1000 before flowering start?Or if not Mars something else?

Trying to get setup right
I know I prob need to get a nicer light and ditch all the crap lights but for now I have what I have. Perhaps after some success I may be able to get a new light to replace all of them. But how far should it be? 2 feet above rockwool cube? And what watts per plant

HPS 400w Vs MarsHydro TSW2000 cost
Alguém me sabe dizer o quanto menos uma luz LED gasta comparado a uma HPS ? Por exemplo, estou usando uma HPS 400w, e subiu 40€ na conta de eletricidade, se usar uma MarsHydro TSW2000, iria fazer grande diferença ? Obrigado
