Lights died
Steevoh978started 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.

Lights. Please explain to a newbieHow much light does a seedling need? How many watts? Is it better to have one bulb but closer to a plant, or 4 bulbs and higher from a plant?
Does it matter how many plants are under the light if they don't shade each other? Do plants "steal" rays so its better to have 1 plant?Setup. Lighting

LED's wont shut completely offLights seem to go on a "standby mode" instead of being all the way shut when timers switch them off. Should I buy some other timers? These were brand new, cheap ones though and both the same. Lights are HLG 600 RSPEC and both did this.Week 4

LED distance to plant adviceInterested in how close I can get my 630w LED with a rating of 2.7μmol/W and 1700 PPF to my canopy. I had it hung 48cm (19 inches) on 380w and just upped it to 500w day 8 in flower. Does this sound too close at 500w or is this ok? Temp is 25C (77F) humidity 55%.Setup. Lighting
