Marcos8matos
started grow question 5y ago
If I have a window with a good amount of light entering everyday is it sufficient for the plants?

Window light is good for veg, especially if it receives direct sunlight for a good amount of time during the day. However, I don't know if it will suffice for flower.

Do I keep dimming my light to try to get proper DLI?
Currently at 22" above soil at 50% intensity and still getting ~50DLI at Germ/Seedling stage (too high?). It's a 240W LED. Do I keep dimming the light or do I change light schedule (24h currently) to get proper DLI?

When to put the light on?
Hey there, Do you need to put the light on the pots directly after you planted the seeds in the ground? Or do you need to wait untill they poke true the ground and then put the light on them?

Grow Light distance
Does it matter what heights I have my grow light at as long as my pfd is where I want it? For example could I have it closer and less power or do I want it further with more power. Feel like it would be better for the light the less power being used.

I don't really know when to switch the veg light to the bloom one... the manufacter manual says to turn on both lights in pre-flower stage. What do u guys think? I also lowered the light (200w output) from 67 cm to 60, is it ok? (LED Viparspectra V 450)

Longer Light Cycle - Mid Bloom
Is changing the light cycle of an autoflower from 18/6 to 20/4 in mid flower too stressful? Doing so would bump my DLI enough to keep my existing light through harvest. She sleeps like clockwork but less so now in mid flower. Will she adjust in a couple days to a longer day?

HLG 550 V2 RSpec power/height in flower
I’m using an HLG 550 V2 RSpec in a 3x3 tent over one Universal Kush plant. Anyone have experience growing with this light in a similar setup? What’s the best height from plant and intensity level should I set the light to? Don’t want to stress her, just want ideal light levels.

dli 40x40 growbox lamp distance problem
hi guys, I have a ts1000 at a distance of 50cm they tell me to lower it to 40cm but the dli would greatly exceed (60 dli photone) the recommended threshold of 40/45. Having a 40x40 growbox, in your opinion, at what distance should I keep the lamp?

600w hps
Wouldnt let me PM. I have a 5ft long 3ft wide 6ft tall white walled grow room and am thinking about a 600w HPS light now. Will this fill the entire room? If so how many plants should I plant? Will this one suffice? Would a 400w hps be more suitable for this space?

Less light for an auto? Maybe 12/12?
Been going with 18/6 for my cream autoflower from growers choice from Day 1. Now 5 weeks into flower I’m wondering if she would benefit from less light, like 12/12, as you would for a photo period plant. What do you think? Would she be happy flowering in some more dark period?

what is correct light schedule for indoor germination and seedling, and then transplant outdoors?
I plan to grow a photoperiod plant outdoors from spring to fall, but the germination and seedling stages will be done indoors. For the indoor part, can I use a setup with 18 hour light schedule? Or should it be 12 hours? I don't want to trigger flowering when I put it outside.

qu'elle est le plus important à prendre en compte le nombre de lux ou le PPFD/DLI
lux, ppfd et dli. en faisant j'ai réalisé qu'il était dur d'avoir un ppfd entre 500 et 1000 pour la phase plantule sans dépasser les fameux 7000lux on approchent plutôt les 25000lux si on veux atteindre le ppfd souhaitable pour cette phase. comment faite vous?
