I would say 40 50cm then let the plant grow until the bulb is 20 cm from plant tent start moving the lamp as the the plant grow to keep 15 20cm distance between plant top and bulb.

When will the plant be good?
..Hi! I am a beginner grower. I converted a refrigerator for micro-growing. How long until my first plant is finished? It grew semi-open air. The box was ready a few weeks ago and I put it in. My lamp is viperspectra p600. I welcome any useful advice. Thanks.

Should I lower the light?
So, this is her 24 hours after she first came out of the soil. I am trying to follow 18-6 light cycle. The height is two inches. Does she look a little lanky to you guys? Should I lower the light a little bit?

Back To 24 Hour Light - Auto Flowers
My autos switched from 24 hour light to 16 about 2 weeks ago to see if it would help make them bloom faster. Can I turn them back onto 24 hours or could that mess things up? I would like the most amount of light time. They should have 2 more weeks left

Hi guys just after a bit of information regarding flipping. When you guys and gals flip do you increase your light output gradually or do you just go straight to full power. Any information will be appreciated thanks growmies

Diferencia en el color verde de las hojas
Estas plantas automáticas están recibiendo la misma alimentación, agua, etc y están en el mismo tipo de sustrato. Pero unas (las más oscuras) reciben luz artificial adicional (Neón CFL) para llegar a tener 17h de luz al día. ¿Es normal la diferencia? ¿Cuál se ve mejor?

Can I change my autoflowers light cycle withou reducing their yield significantly?
I am having humidity/mold problems and was thinking of changing the cycle so the grow goes off at noon ( currently it goes off at 1am and its winter and gets real cold with 88% humidity). Even if I stress them, it would be better to not have mold than reducing the yield, right?

LED Kelvin Temp 3000k-6500k
Is there a massive difference in colour temperature/kelvin of LED's if the lumens, PAR, watts, intensity and every other aspect you can think of is the same but its temp/kelvin is lower? I use a 6500k LEDs, may mix in or switch to 3000K for better flowers if its proven to work.

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?

Doubling light/adding a panel in flower
Adding a second light panel-- any tips? Will it be too much? I've been using a viparspectra p1000 in my 2x3ish closet and it's done me well up to this point. Today I've installed a second led panel (not as good as vipar). Wondered if it'll be too much?
