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

Swapping day/night light cycle during flower Day 22 of flower. Lights are on during the day, 8am-to-8pm but we need to switch to 8pm-to-8am to use the colder night air to cool our lights without using a/c. Would it negatively affect the plants at this point in flower to give them 24hrs dark & completely swap light cycle?

Wich of those cheap lights would be advised under 200€ and that would fit both final vegging state and flowering? The grow space is 80cmx80cmx160cm and keeping in mind that the weather along with the lack of ventilation budget limits my options to colder leds. Thanks in advance

Hps mixed with mars hydro 600 yield?Hey all! So i been thinking about ways to cut heat of course lol. So I’m thinking about getting a mars hydro 600 and running it with my 400w hps at 250w on the dimmer. Do you guys think I will yield about the same as if I was just running the hps on super lumens?
