When to put the light on?
Panzorastarted grow question 3 years ago
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?

Plant can't absorb light till leaves open. But I leave the lights on anyway because I don't mind paying my electricity bill.

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,

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.Other. General questions

Wondering about light in flowering stageIs it a problem if my outdoor feminised plant in the flowering stage takes light from the lamp on the terrace just to give it water? do I have to keep it completely in the dark during this phase? Or am I just worrying about nothing?Plant. Other

Light Intensity/Distance for Germination and BeyondI have a Bloomspect SL600 (85W) for one autoflower plant. I am looking for advice on light intensity/distance for germination and beyond. Currently, I have the light at 50% intensity at 14 inches going 20/4. 14 inches is the highest I can go due to space limitations. Any advice?
