What's the advantage of running two lights? I have a HLG 600 rspec and a no name red /blue 250w led. Should I incorporate both and at what stage?

You have a pretty good light. But I will say, during flowering it never hurts to increase light power. The more light you give a plant in flowering the bigger those buds should get. Just my personal opinion. I don't care for blurp lights, but they still work vs nothing.

How large is your tent? Do you need more power than your HLG light? I would want to run only the HLG since the light won't be even and I wouldn't want to be the plant under the burple. Plus, I hate the way burple lights make the plants look. White light makes it so much easier to asses the plant's health and spot problems early. --- I run two HLG 260 Rspec in my 1m x 1m tent.

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi, Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED Thanks, Mr.STM

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

Lights Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

Which of the two options do you choose and why: Option 1: 1440w over 40sqft giving 36w per sqft Option 2: 1440w over 48sqft giving 30w per sqft. The difference is an extra 2x4 of grow space. Do i go for more lumens or more plants? This is my first LED setup

Hello fellow growers :D thx a lot Firstly, is the reason why my plants (especially cookies) are very slightly curling/folding at the ends of the leaves because the LED is too powerful?(Reason to be worried?) Secondly, should I start adding nutrients? Just 1/4 of Bio-grow for now?
