HPS or LED

MS2845started grow question 4y ago

Hi I wonder if its worth swap from HPS to LED's. I heard you can get 2g for each watt with leds. When with HPS 0.5 to 1g each watt. And you dont have problems with the heat which im having now I can't lower the temperature I'm on 32/34. Anyone could give me an advice 😊

Salut, Je tourne avec les led de MarsHydro, model TSW2000. Sa ne chauffe vraiment pas beaucoup, fini les problème du a la chaleur. J'ai était obligé de rajouté un chauffage pour l'hiver. Oui il parait que l'on peut obtenir 2g/watts, mais tout dépend de tes connaissances des techniques dans la culture du cannabis. Personnellement je conseil les led, et particulièrement MarsHydro car leur prix sont très concurrentielle

Just wondering if adding sunlight could improve it or makes no difference?Do you still need to give plants sunlight if they have a tent fan and ac plus led grow lights? I really need to know if after 53 days of 6hours of sunlight daily the plant might be used to the sunlight , although I know led grow lights are like a mini sun inside tent but still?

Hight Problems I’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?

Grow light question I bought a cheap light by KingLED. It’s only 100 Watts and I’m unsure if it’s enough for one plant. The light has 2 switches, one for veg and one for flower. Should I always have both on since it will be an autoflower?

Light height Hello all I have a mars hydro tsw 2000. I was noticing the recommended height is 24 inches for seedlings. Is this at 100% intensity? That's well over 1000 ppfd by my meter. I thought seedlings could only handle 200-400?

LED Light Spacing So my taller plants are starting to get bright green on top. My light is 25” from the tops. I measured today, and if I keep the lights that far away during flowering, I hardly have any space to grow them taller. It’s a 6’8” tent. The bloom light also isn’t on yet. What do I do?
