answered grow question 4y ago
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.

Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

Lumatek attis 300W
Boa tarde Farmers. Tenho um led Lumatek attis 300w e estou a usá-lo com a luz a 100% ( está incluído um dimmer que dá para regular de 20 em 20%). Queria saber se há algum problema usar a 100% desde a fase inicial ou se existem valores específicos para cada fase. Muito obrigado!

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?

Too much light ?
So started my second run and got everything dialed in but this time I’m running with spf-1000D and the normal spf-1000 is that too much light for the plants that would slow them down ? Together the lights should be around 200w

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.
