Switching light schedule
Madmike88started grow question 5y ago
Can I turn my lights on 24hrs (currently 19 on 5 off) for the next week and then switch them back? (In week 4 of veg). Currently in a 3x3x5 tent with a light and heater and the vent open. The 5x5x7 I have is in my garage, no room in the house and 6 plants total

I mean you sure could.. I don’t think that it will cause considerable issue. If you’re gonna veg out for several weeks more maybe but if you’re gonna flip to 12/12 within a week or two i wouldn’t suggest it.
That said, I’m in the camp of folks who think getting at least some dark at night is beneficial for the plants. Maybe switch to 22/2 or something

Ok, I'm not switching to them for a while, prolly another month or so. Only reason I'm considering the light change is due to cold weather. I'll prolly go ahead with the 22/2 so they do get some down time still.

Fan vs Fanless LEDsHow effective are heatsink LEDs? I'm not sure if I should go with fanless (like Mars Hydro SP150) or with a fan (Mars Pro II Epistar 120). I struggle with heat, when the tent is closed it gets to 29-30 degrees with humidifier in full swing (HID lights) and I want to close it soonSetup. Lighting

High guys,
My Jack Herer will soon move to another closet.
I've got 2 led lights at home for vegging. Both use 60 watt but have a different colour spectrum (only have space for 1).
Which one is my best option FOR VEGGING ONLY!?!?
My options are the Spectrabox or the Cree Cob.

Light hanging distanceI’m not sure how high to hang my light. My plants seem to be all staying extremely squat and not stretching, though all seem healthy. I’ve been fiddling between 18-28 inches and 600-800 ppfd (ios meter app) and I can’t find a distance that seems to make them happier. D26 autos
