Lighting coverage

romi27started grow question 5y ago

Will my viparspectra xs1500 have enough coverage once these plants get larger? Or will I need supplemental lighting? And if I do need more, am I better off getting the larger model, or just getting another identical unit so that I have 2?

Hi mate, you only have 2 plants so yes you will have enough light for them. They can take more if you wanted to get an extra light. I had a p1000 and decided to get another p1000 for my 80x80. It's better to have too much light and have the option to dim them maximizing the amount of light you can give. Getting the same model will give you an easier understanding of how much light your putting out and in what area. Plus it looks great. Hope this helps 🙂

You want around 50 true watts per square foot of space. So you should have 400 watts. The light you are using draws 150 watts from the wall.👊

I need help choosing a better light for my single plant microgrow!H50cm W37.5cm L57cm Now using 1 household 13w Phillips LED 2700K for flower, a 120w CFL for veg and I use a cheap 20w dual Spectrum LED that I'm sure does almost nothing. See pics for convo with led sales guy. Is the height really that much of an issue with the light intensity?

Hello, I am using a viparspectra par1200 which has the veg and bloom adjustment knobs on autoflowers. My question is, should I only be using veg during veg and bloom during bloom? Or can I just turn that sucker on full blast the whole time? Thanks

Additional lighting in flower???I’m planning on putting another 2 x 600wLED (blurpul colour type) alongside my current 2 x1000w led Cree cob lights. I have them spare and was hoping this will help with flower/thc production??? Is it worth putting them in or just wasting electricity. Any help appreciated 🤙✌️🎄
