Grow Lights
Is it okay to use an LED Light 1000 watt (4x4x80" tent) & a UV Light 1000 Watt in a 4x4x80" grow tent for 3 plants. I want more light, I have plants growing slowly so I'm hoping to adjust the amount of light I have would speed up their growth. LED is white spectrum & UV blue-veg

How much light - PPFD - without CO2?
How high in power should I go with my lights without CO2 enrichment? I can comfortably provide 1200 PPFD to the canopy, but I'm holding it down near 900 because I'm not sure the extra power used would yield an increase in, um, yield.

Extra belichting
Hello. I'm in the third week of flowering with my royal gorilla plants, they're under a 600-watt HPS lamp. If I were to add an extra 400-watt lamp now, would that increase the yield or be a waste of energy? Regards, Gorilla

When to raise light potency with autoflowers
I don't really know when to raise the amount of light when growing autos. I think I'll wait for them to complete 15 full days and then I'll raise the LED panel to 50cm, change from 20% to 40% potency and observe how they behave.

Колличество света
Can anyone explain why all the guides and manuals say that autoflowers need 500mmol/cm2 during flowering while photoperiods need 700, when in reality, under sunlight, the plant in the wild gets 1400-1600? Why not give the same amount of light to plants indoors?
