How many watts do I need for my small tent?
noobiiistarted grow question 3 years ago
I am using a full spectrum LED that draws only 30W from the wall but it might be too weak since my plant is getting lanky. I have moved it closer to the plant but now I am afraid of over-heating. How many watts LED would be sufficient for my 40cmX40cmx120cm tent?

Meter that light if you can...that's really the only way to really know what it's delivering at any given height, though 30w seems scant at best. You might want to look into running your light 20/4 or even 24h to make up for lack of firepower with extra exposure time...you'll probably have a better chance of success. Before I went and bought a higher powered light I was sitting with ~100w or so and an experienced professional grower suggested I go 20/4 or 24h to make up for lack of delivered PPFD.

You wanna have 30-40 real watts per square foot. By real watts I mean what the light fixture pulls from the wall- not the watt rating the manufacturer has on that specific model.
I’m currently running enfun lights. They are called EF2000- but actually pull 240 real what’s from the wall. 🌱

Height Spider Farmer SE3000 week 5 flowerPAR increased to 600 PPFD, done by lowering the light to 35 cm above canopy.
What do you think? is that too low? I'm using a Spider Farmer SE3000 (300 Watt). Anybody experience with this light? How high did you hang it from week 5 of flower to the end?Week 13

2 plants, 2 Mars Hydro TSW 2000’s, need help with pot size/tent size configurationMy plan is to flower these 2 girls in a SCROG under 2 Mars Hydro TSW 2000s (2x300W actual). I’m debating whether to flower them in 5 gallon plastic pots in a 2x4, 10 gallon pots in a 2x4, or 10 gallon pots in a 4x4. Does more area = more yield, or am I thinking about this wrong?Week 5

Opinions on progressSo this is my first solo grow in a completely new setup (previously only grown in collaboration with a friend). Started off with a cheap blurple light. Very slow start then upgraded to a mars hydro TS1000 2 weeks prior to flowering.

Changing Lighting ScheduleThe days on the plants are since planting, so i was going to keep the vegetative light schedule until 5 weeks since planting, then start moving towards a 12/12.
Is it even optimal for an autoflower to have a traditional 12/12 lighting schedule during flowering?

Light came on for about 30 seconds about 3 hours into the dark cycleSo Im 3 days into 12/12 and I bumped my timer last night and my light came on suddenly during the dark cycle. I immediately shut it right back off. Was I wrong in shutting it back off right away? Should I be worried about anything?2 years ago
