Light intensity in veg - Help needed!
arg_weedloverstarted grow question 5y ago
I have a 4x4 Tent (120x120cm) with 16 Autos and run a 480W 3.5K LED at ~55 % at a dist. of 40-48 cm (1.3-1.5 feet).
Lux: 20-26k. They are tall with up to 14 cm (0.45 feet).
What would be the right light density in week 2-3?
Ideas? Plz help! THX

Keep it simple, just lower the lights to 35cm. 480W is not too much for the room

High guys,
My Jack Herer will soon move to another closet.
I've got 2 led lights at home for vegging. Both use 60 watt but have a different colour spectrum (only have space for 1).
Which one is my best option FOR VEGGING ONLY!?!?
My options are the Spectrabox or the Cree Cob.

Should I lower my light during flowering?I'm at 24 inches away now, should I lower the light now that she's in full bloom? I went with the recommendation of Mars Hydro and burnt up 3 seedlings as a result. Sadly I only have one bean left of my Fastbuds over this crucial mistake. Running a Mars Hydro SP 250 keep at 36in.Week 5

Distance from pot to light during germinationWorried about our light power and distance to the pots, should we be running it at full power with the light higher in the tent or vice versa? Also very unsure about watering amounts in these early stages and is it okay for water droplets to be sitting on the growth? TIA

When to flip LED's 'bloom' switch on?When's the best time to flip the 'bloom' switch on my LED with an auto?
Should it be at the first sign of pistils or is there a better time to do so?
I have already flipped the switch for this plant and kept photo-period the same, looking for info for next grow.
Thanks!

LED light distanceHey guys I'm kind of new to growing only been doing it for a little over a year. My girls grow really well they just don't get very tall I'm thinking it's because my lights are too close. Is this correct? Distance is 9 inches above canopy in week 6 growing critical 2.0 autos.

How to make stronger smell and flavour in DWC grows?Hi guys. Just harvested my second ever harvest, and 2nd time with DWC. Using HPS, then CMH for last 2 weeks
I'm really happy with buds, but the smell is a little less intense that I would like.
I have used Cannaboost, which is supposed to increase flavour but I want more! :)Setup. Lighting

Light height and intensityHello all. Recently I upgraded my lights to 2 mars tsw 2000. I've noticed my plants are growing slowly compared to everyone else's. I have it set at 24 inches 25%. However a mars hydro admin posted 12 inches 75% during veg? Isn't that like 1500 ppfd? I'm so confused.

Light: much Power less hoursHi everyone,
I'd want to decrease the hours of light to give the plants the impression that winter is coming, but I'd want to add a led to increase the power of the light. Can I apply both this ideas?
