Hi mate, everything looks good from here. If you are worried about it, download the light lux app. You can use your phone to measure lux which can be converted to PAR. MigroLight have a great video on youtube about it. 60000 lux is around 500 PAR. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

i have just been kinda guessing 1/3 further than specs will mitigate cross over from lamps in the middle and lower light levels at sides.

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

Got a Mars Hydro TS600, will it do alright?My plan is to grow only 1 plant, in a 40x40x120 tent. I know the tent is pretty small but hopefully i can do some training on the plant to grow wide
Will the light do until the end? 100wats, but no light dim possibility. Currently growing seedling at 13 dli at 60 cm

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

Power and distanceOk so......
This is a Mars Hydro TSW2000 specific question.
1, When should i go 100% with the light as far as plant age is concerned?
2, I've seen various distance tables that all vary so i'm asking TSW2000 growers specifically what their distances are for Autos.
Many thanksWeek 5

Lights too close?While trying to figure out why my plant is so dwarf like I realized it might be the height of my lights. They’ve stayed that position ever since installed them. The problem is they’re basically at the ceiling of my box. Is my set up limiting its growth too?

Small light/ big tentI just upgraded tents. It’s a 4x4x7 foot tent. I have a Mars Hydro TS1000. I know that’s not enough for that tent. But I have a plant in its 2nd week of flower that out grew the last tent. Is it ok to just keep that light above that one plant in that size tent? Thanks!!

Efficient lightingKeeping both 200w VEG and 300w FLOWER lights 24h is too expensive for my alien wallet. So I left the veg light under 12h/12h and flower on.
Please share with me some of your past experiences and how can I save money and grow killer yields.
