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.

Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

24/7 lighting autos
24/7 lighting on autos?? Thinking of giving it a shot, any reason not to? Would be easier on some of my equipment keeping that stable environment. Not worried about electric usage. How important is a dark cycle?

18/6 leads to high temps in small tent; change light schedule or stick it out?
Girls are at 18/6 and 3-4 hours before lights out the tent gets up to 90 degrees and humidity can’t compete. Should I wait it out or try 16/8 moving towards 12/12 close to flowering (autoflower). Will lowering light exposure affect yield more than high temps would at 18/6

Bend Her Over?
Any chance of super cropping a thriving auto on day 42? She hasn’t flinched at training yet; and got hacked on. I’m running out of vertical space with some developing runners. She’s going to stretch a bit yet, and currently 12” from light with 650 PPFD. Bend, or not to bend?
