Is 300watt led enough for 6 plants in 2 gallon pots? (2x2 tent)
BraveheartGeneticsanswered grow question 5y ago
Hi mate, 6 plants seems a lot for a 2x2. I grow one in that space and at a push maybe 2 autos but 6 would be impossible. Is 300W the true output of the light, you're looking for about 30W/square foot but 100W is minimum for a 2x2. Mine is 110W. Any higher and I would struggle with high temps. I hope this helps....good luck and happy growing.

Depending on the footprint of your light, if the 300w covers the full tent then you will be fine

qu'elle est le plus important à prendre en compte le nombre de lux ou le PPFD/DLIlux, ppfd, and dli. While doing this, I realized that it’s hard to have a ppfd between 500 and 1000 for the seedling phase without exceeding the famous 7000 lux. We’re more like approaching 25000 lux if we want to reach the desired ppfd for this phase. How do you do it?Setup. Lighting

Less light for an auto? Maybe 12/12?Been going with 18/6 for my cream autoflower from growers choice from Day 1. Now 5 weeks into flower I’m wondering if she would benefit from less light, like 12/12, as you would for a photo period plant. What do you think? Would she be happy flowering in some more dark period?Setup. Lighting

Hi growers.
I was reading some stuff about LED, about the light color.
So i have veg and bloom switches, should i keep both on when growing autoflower? Or keep veg until start of bloom and then work only with bloom light ou even both lights on bloom?
Thanks for all the helpWeek 2

How much light for a stunned seedling?If my seedling is stunned, how much light in watts should I give to her? Does it make sense to give minimum light to help recover after over-feeding? (in my case 11w all spectrum bulb).
I mean to help her to focus on recovery, not on reserving energyPlant. Too short

How to measure lumens of a full spectrum LED light.Since a lux meter only measures certain spectrums of light, how do I use a lux meter to determine the right height of my full spectrum grow light? I have it at the recommended distance but I have signs of light stress. Bleaching of some upper leaves. I moved it up 4 more inches?Week 4

Cuando y como pasar mis plantas a floración??I'm going to switch my plants to flowering 12/12, I've read that they leave them without light for 48 hours to force flowering, is this good or should I just skip it?? And I have a dimmable ballast, I have it set to 400w, when I switch to 12/12 should I set it to 600w or wait until the second week of flowering to change it to 600w??

When to flip LED's 'bloom' switch on?When's the best time to flip the 'bloom' switch on my LED with an auto?
Should it be at the first sign of pistils or is there a better time to do so?
I have already flipped the switch for this plant and kept photo-period the same, looking for info for next grow.
Thanks!

KingBright 240w Meanwell driver relocationDoes anyone know the name of this connector the Kingbright LED boards use and where to buy them? I'm looking to relocate my LED driver but Kingbright wont be able to get me one till August. If I could at least find compatible adapters I can make my own cable out of them.
