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.

Currently running my KingLED 2000 with both Bloom and Veg switches on. Is this the correct time to go just with the Bloom lighting? There's no harm in running both throughout; correct? Except to the power bill of course. Any thoughts?

I have a 120x120x200 grow tent and a 730w LED, the FC-E6500 from Mars Hydro. I'm planning to put about 4/5 plants for my first grow and I would like to know if there's any guide on how far I should place the LED from the plants at each stage of growth. THX

Marshydro ts600 for a 50x50x100
Hi quick question, Purchasing 50x50x100 tent Will the marshydro ts600 be ideal for this yes just shy of 2x2. Im aware the ts1000 is better and has dimmable option but wouldn't that be too powerful for my little 2x2 with a height if only 100cm? Will be from (marshydroled.co.uk)

Whats going on with my Grow lights ?
Hey there , I was looking at that picture and noticed a difference brightness of those lights and the red color differ At least at the camera lens ! They supposed to be the same wattage 🤔 So I was wondering , is that the reason why BananaOG is a bit smaller and underdeveloped 🤓

Spider farmer sf4000
I just ordered 2 sf4000 for my 7'X12' room planning on doing roughly 20-24 autoflower in. I did do a bunch of research but hard to know if these reviews are paid. Anyone used these before and if so are they any good TIA,

Reverse flowering time
could I reverse the time when putting into bloom and switching from a 12/12 program? I could turn on at 00:00 and turn off the light at 12:00, because honestly I keep them on during the night and I turn them off at noon and I would like to do the opposite, can I?

Does my LED need more red spectrum for flowerin?
I have an HLG 100v2 LED grow light at 4000K. They say 3000K is better for flowering. Does it make any sense for me to add some cheap red LED strips to add red spectrum? I’d rather not buy another more expensive light if I can just supplement this one. See picture.

Led Grow lights
I have a viperspectra xs4000 light 480 watts I am running it at around 25% on the dimmer switch and my lights are about 24" from my canopy. I've noticed some of my pistols wilting and looking stressed. Should I try to move my lights higher or continue dimming them down more?

Light question
Growing autoflowers, if you gave them 2 hours less than the recommended light; would it just take a bit longer for them to fully mature or seriously affect the yield ?

What lights for a 2'x3'x6' tent?
What light or lights for a 2x3 footprint? Veg and flower. Deciding between 2x Viparspectra XS 1500, 2x HLG RSpec 100, or a combo 1 of each. Budget is 200-300ish. Cheaper is better. Open to suggestions. Not sure if I should have 2 of the same lights or mix n match.

Lights Got Stuck On When It Should Have Been Dark
I 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?

Changing light schedule on an auto?
My plant sprouted 5 days ago, because of temps last night I left the light on and will for the next few days to maintain temp. Its an autoflower but I like having a dark period for my autos. Will it hurt anything if I go back to 20/4 or should I let it ride?

Very technical question - LED wattage vs actual power used
My LED is a Phlizon 600w but the power draw is only around 97w at the plug. Perhaps a silly question, but is my diary entry supposed to be 600w or 97w? Looking at other diaries, it looks like yield is expressed as weight/watt and want to be consistent.

Heat, RH or overwatering? Or alltogether?
Hey my fellow growers! The grow reached 32Celsius the last 2 days in the last hour before going into night time. On that time RH goes down to 32% and this seems like it's stressing this lady a bit. Yesterday fed her nuts - maybe a bit too much? Thank you for stopping by!
