Grow QuestionsLight strong enough for flowering stage

Light strong enough for flowering stage

R2d2420started grow question 4 years ago

Just bought a light meter. Got my light about 12 inches away from top of plants. They're flowering now & the light meter reads 22500. Is this strong enough for the flowering stage ? Just dropped the light from 16inch to 12inch & plants are responding nicely. So far anyway.

Hi Man, lux meter is not ideal to use in a grow-room, it’s a PAR meter that is more adequate despite of being more expensive ranging from over 500Euros.

Hi mate, I think 22200 Lux is too low. Great for seedlings. You really need a minimum of 60000 Lux for flower. This communicates as 500 par. Migro do a great video with a conversion table about a lux app for your phone. Check it out. I hope this helps, god luck and happy growing

Mars TSL 2000 doubt I just installed my new Mars TSL 2000 and noticed that some of the IR LEDs are more faded than the others. Is it normal in LED lights? Also the LEDs distribution is different than the advertised. Ripped off or just a different model?

Danger of Humidifier Good morning everyone. So I've recently set up my new TS1000 and I'm wondering is humidifier dangerous for LED lights? It's directly under the light 60cm. And how can I regulate the temp in the room without new equipment? It's too high at the moment.
