yeah set it to 250w and you'll be fine.I used to use 400w in a 90x90x180 tent with cooltube,that was good too. but either way you'll need a cooltube reflector. without cooltube, temps hit 33-34C easily.

I would say it is way too big. A 200 or 250 watt would be more appropriate in my opinion.

How to measure lumens of a full spectrum LED light.
Since a lux meter only measures certain spectrums of light, how do I use a lux meter to determine the right height of my full spectrum grow light? I have it at the recommended distance but I have signs of light stress. Bleaching of some upper leaves. I moved it up 4 more inches?

Does anyone have experience with colas that have been severely light deprived, yet still have trichs?
My ghost nug grew up on the side of the tent blocked from light. She has trichs, looks super light yellow (see pics). My question is, wouldn't this be desirable? Less chlorophyll to wait on before smoking? Has anyone tried to maybe light deprive parts of their colas?

LED's wont shut completely off
Lights seem to go on a "standby mode" instead of being all the way shut when timers switch them off. Should I buy some other timers? These were brand new, cheap ones though and both the same. Lights are HLG 600 RSPEC and both did this.

Enlighten me (Grow light advice)
Hey fellow growers, I'm revamping my grow room and need a new 300W LED light. I'm looking for the best possible light output without breaking the bank on electricity. Any recommendations for energy-efficient, high-performance lights in 2024? Your expertise is greatly appreciated

My grow tent is sitting in my basement, which normally sits at 10C in the winter, so I set the heat in the room to 18C and the LED and 2 fans heat it to 20.4C in the tent. Anyone have a similar setup but using their grow lights as a heat source? Heating a basement is expensive.

Veg lighting approach? Switching from cfl to hps?
I started my second grow a couple weeks ago with a 130w cfl in my 1m veg cupboard. I’m thinking I will make the switch to a 250w hps soon. I don’t want to overheat the space. Do you think this is a good strategy? I’ll flower the autos in my 1.4m tent with 600w hps.

Spider Farmer sf 1000 light height inquiry.
I am growing in a 2x2 spider farmer with a SF 1000, currently the light is 20" and only 80% power. It seems like a powerful light and don't want to overdue it. Should I move the light closer and turning up to 100% power for the rest of flowering?

Posible quemadura?
Every time I go into flowering, this happens to me and I can't find a solution. I use a 1.20 x 1.20 tent and I have a 730w LED; I'm starting to think that the light is too powerful and the plants are suffering from heat. There were two days when it reached 32 degrees, and I'm currently at 29/30.

Como regular el calor en el armario
I have a 1x1 closet with a 400w bulb, it's about 50cm from the plant and its temperature ranges from 25ºC to 30ºC while the bulb is on. Then during flowering, I'll switch it to 600w. How can I regulate the temperature so it’s not so high, and what distance should it be from the plant?
