Keep LED strip or remove?
IbeBryBrystarted grow question 5y ago
So this is a space tub grow, other than the above head light it has a 3500k led strip running around the sides(around 4 meters) is it worth keeping this lighting? I'm only running a 150 watt growstar led ufo, which is fine for my canopy but my bottom isn't nearly as dense.

More light is usually good, considering you're only running the 150 I'd leave it in for supplementary light.

Hi mate, if the light is not doing any harm I can't see a reason to remove it. It will serve its purpose by boosting bud production. Good luck and happy growing

Best grow light for a 3.5x3.5?I'm disappointed with my last yield and belive its cause of the light.
Want to invest in a better product. Which one do you think will produce the biggest yield with 4 autos in a 3.5Γ3.5 feet wide tent?
- Lumateck Attis 300W
- Mars Hydro TSW 2000 300W

Does anyone have experience with colas that have been severely light deprived, yet still have trichs?My ghost nug grew up on the side of the tent blocked from light. She has trichs, looks super light yellow (see pics). My question is, wouldn't this be desirable? Less chlorophyll to wait on before smoking? Has anyone tried to maybe light deprive parts of their colas?

Maximum / Optimal Lux or FC for LEDs and checking readingsI have a Viaspectra P2500 which is a bit big for my tent but I figured I could dim it and have when I upgrade my tent.
I think I am burning my plants though so I am wondering what the maximum and optimal Lux/FC is for LEDs. I have the Light Meter LM-3200 app with diffuser. Ty

General question about raising lights.Gotta question for what most of you are doing to raise your lights?
Currently I've just set it static and move as needed. But I'm curious if anyone has a easier method or know of anything made to aid in the raising of the LED light fixtures ?

Light scheduleSo I got a new timer and messed up schedule. Plants got 16 hrs of light, turned lights out as soon as I noticed (5am).
11am-11pm light.(5 weeks into flower)
Should I let plants have 12hrs dark now and resume 12-12 , or let lights come on at 11am(6hrs dark)

Switching light schedule for an auto and Phototype!I'am growing together an auto and a phototype with 20/4 light circle. For my phototype is about time to change light schedule for flowering, will my auto be badly impacted by switching to a 12/12 light? Or should I move every day (same place but no light) the photo for the night?Setup. Lighting

Lighting. Increase or stay the same?Hi, I'm thinking about increasing lighting to 100%... is it too soon? Currently at 60% 20 inches away (manufacturers recommendation.)
I'm thinking 100% but staying at 20 inches away.. what's your thoughts? Too soon? (12" - 18" 100% for veg manufacturers guidelines)

Light distance and power with a 205W Sanlight LEDSanlight told me I should use it dimmed at 80% and 45cm when in flowering. I was aiming to reach lower buds so I put it at 100% and 50cm from the upper buds. The tips of the leaves are slightly burned but no bud bleaching yet like my last run (at 100% 45cm). What's best ? Thx !
