Use the uv a the same as your normal lighting. The sun does not have a bloom and veg function or uv on or off. So run normal hours as other lights. Good luck and happy growing 🌱🌱🌱

Definitely best for flowering, but I have heard people say they use them for a few hours each day too. I run 2 TS1000 and a Growers Choice CMH 500watt with 3kR bulb. I don't really look into UV to much honestly. Sorry I couldn't tell you more.

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?

Lux Meter and Hydroponics Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.

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.

Optimal Light Distance My plants are experiencing some heat stress and my light is currently at 28 inches distance and thinking to lower it but it could hurt more the plants since I just did some LST and topping. Is it okay to lower it down to like 25 inches? What is the best height distance? TY! :)

DLI and Lightcycle Ich habe einen Knoten im Gehirn. Eine gute Idee bei Autoflowers ist es, den DLI bei ca. 40 zu halten. Wie macht ihr das genau bei einem Lichtzyklus von 18/6 von Start bis Finish? Lasst ihr eure Lampen wirklich nur bei ca. 600ppfd laufen, um nicht über DLI 40 zu kommen?

Led Light dilemma I'm not sure if I should use my led light on full power? I know in the vegetative phase she needs 300-700 PPFD and I have a PPFD meter (app). On full power, I place the light around 45-50 cm from her to get around 500 PPFD but I don't trust the app , so what do you think guys?
