Swapping lights during flowering
Doomguy420started grow question 3 years ago
Do you guys think that swapping lights at the late flowering stage is going to harm my girls in any way? Been fortunate enough to be able to order myself a Viparspectra xs4000 to replace the v600. And as I understand it should be quite an upgrade.
Thanks for any advice!

Do it mate, stay with your normal light scheudle and check your ppfd / DLI etc. to make sure you arent going to stress or fry the plants - most plants love a boost with a stronger light source and you might see them chunk up a bit.

MARS HYDRO TS600 LIGHT STILL ON WHEN TIMER SWITCHES OFFit is a known problem i found 2 forum posts discussing it.
Different timers have been tried but it always remains the same.
Someone said with a mechanical timer the problem is solved I will try that as soon as I have one.
In any case, this is absolutely unacceptable.

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?Week 4

How to tell if light is damaging plant?I'm using a Mars Hydro Ts600. Manufacturers advice is to keep height at 12'' minimum above the canopy in flower but other growers report it can hang as low as 10''. In identifying optimum height how would I be able to tell if it was too low for my plants? What should Iook for?Week 8

Do I need to lower my lights?Do I need to lower my lights? I'm using a Kingbrite 240W Samsung lm301h and I just went into flowering period. I think the light is a bit overpowered for the room, so I've left it at about 21 inches above the tops of the plant. At this distance, all areas are getting 27k lux.

Max 180w LED output for 2x4x6 tent with 3 plants. Good enough?I have a 3-chip 1000W LED with a max output of 180w (Veg 125w, Bloom 55w):
I'm growing autos in a 2x4x6 tent. I'd like to grow 3 plants at a time. Do I need another grow light? Will the one I have suffice?

Review this model or help me create a DIY COB plus IR plus UVB grow light.I've very limited variety of lights in this country so this is all I can find. Also there are no suppliers who provide spectrum charts or any temperature values for those lights. My goal is to make it with the best possible light spectrum. Having IR's also will help on cold days.
