dzdr2023started grow question 4y ago
My light is https://phytolite.com/pl_PL/shop/product/cree-naked-cob-60w-327
Recommended dist. to plant top by manufacturer is 40cm (16in) . Mine dist. is 58cm (23in) currently as I tried to keep it far during seedling stage, can I lower the lamp to 40cm at this stage? (day 11)

Simple way to know if your plant seeks more light. Starts to get tall and lanky, stretching for the light. That tells you it needs more light. Cheers

Wrong power cable in my LED light: still light when switched down off.Have you ever made this mistake? My second harvest was someway worst then my first. Sure I did some watering mistakes but during my chores in the room and in the tent, I found out. I used a random power cable on my PAR LED lamp so when It turned off still had some light on. Bang!

Burn or ?leafs feel rough , little tiny greens dots with texture on leaf.
I found out after bumping the light up 40% Plants did not like.
Looked up manufactures suggested hanging / power. Seems I am over powered. The light is more 4x4 or 3x3 then 2x2

Will increasing light intensity restart stalled seedlingsSeeking 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?

regarding the light spectrum ratio. what is the ideal light spectrum for both the vegetative and flowering phases?
Do you use 3500K lights during the vegetative stage, or only use cold white lights at 6000K? do you then switch in flower to 3500K lights along with 370-780nm?

Canopy clearanceI'm growing a photoperiod and been using the SF1000d light. Having to run the light much closer to the canopy than suggested during the entire process. I'm in flower currently and she still looks healthy as close as 6 inches from the light. Is this normal? Is my light below spec?

Yellowing leaves & tips curling down on 14th day. Coco / Autopot / Hesi / Mars Hydro fc-1500Would gladly use some help with my first grow 🙏
2 main reasons come to mind after googling:
1. I overwatered thinking it's hard to do since I'm using the Air dome.
2. Too intense light. Was checking a lot of growers that actually grow 24/0 and went for it 75% 40cm.

lightsHow do you use plant LED lights? I am using the BESTVA 3000, which has separate growth and bloom lights. After flowering begins, should I use both the growth and bloom lights together, or only the bloom lights?

Started the plants off with 60 watts. Increased to 100 watts today with a 20/5 schedule. Could I increase to the full 150 watts already or should I give them a few days with 100? Thanks in advance for any advice. It’s my first indoor grow with this setup and I’m still learning :)

Hight ProblemsI’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants.
My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?

Stretchy seedlings...worried!Hi, I have 5 seedlings on day 7. 2 of them are going fine but the three from ditch passion were very stretchy though. Likely due to having the light to far away. Take a look, any advise would be great. Cheers all!
