Hey Bro, I think there's no such thing as too much light, the main thing is to meet the other conditions. If there are no issues with the electricity price, go ahead and crank it up. I've been running 670W of light on 1m2 since week 2, check out my diary, it's probably visible there. Good luck with your grow, Buddy!

OMGMy Timer malfuntioned and gave them over 22 hrs of light?I was wondering why they kept growing this fast and big until i controlled the system and noticed they get to much light and stretching this hard. So i turned the hrs down to 16 to stress them into blooming, will this Work?

Longer Light Cycle - Mid BloomIs changing the light cycle of an autoflower from 18/6 to 20/4 in mid flower too stressful? Doing so would bump my DLI enough to keep my existing light through harvest. She sleeps like clockwork but less so now in mid flower. Will she adjust in a couple days to a longer day?Week 8

Is that possible to do grow light with Samsung LED strips?Going deeper into idea of doing the quantum board from scratch but instead SMD LED's there are lots of strip LED options. So I want to ask you guys if I have an aluminum plate with a heat sink and coolers, can I fix those stripts there? Or can I rip them off with a heat gun?Setup. Lighting

Brown spotsWhat is this? It's affecting newer growth, first or second set of fan leaves off thee top of the colas. Also, this drooping, is this stress from the light? This is the center of my tent, and would appear to only affect tallest colas of this plant.

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,
Mr.STMSetup. Lighting

Stretch to the lightHow can you tell if your light is to close or to far? Is this gal stretching to much? Should I have increased the dimmer and/or lowered the light earlier?

NEED SOME ADVICE! Change to LED from HPS? which ones are good for tent size? Which ones are good for good yields?I've got a 4x4 tent with 8 seedlings in cups but will be in 11L pots.
Currently I had a 600w HPS light but my ballast busted today.
I have a back up CFL 150W not to mess up the light schedule.
Thinking about changing to LED lights, I know it'll be cheaper but I want same yield...Setup. Lighting

Mars Hydro TS 1000 [3500K,100W, LED light] (Plants @ 3Questions: See photos.
1. MARS Hydro TS 1000 will not support 4 cannabis plants, correct? Support = Obtaining full plant potential.
2. The Chinese 3000K lighting won’t “hurt” my plants in veg, right? It’s just simply isn’t the lighting that works for veg growth, yea?

Mars Hydro FC4800 vs FC-E4800FC4800 = 2016 samsung diodes| 2,8 µmol/j |1347µmol PPE -- FC-E4800= 2646 bridgelux diodes | 2,7 µmol/j |1328µmol PPE
Both are 480watt lights...
Is there a difference between µmol 2,7 and 2,8 when it comes to yield?
Is the FC4800 worth the extra money? Doesn't cost much more

- should I grow the plants always under this ceiling, or if it is beneficial to expose the plants to direct sunlight?
