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

Bro, in the vegetative stage, the plant needs between 400 to 600 ppfd for optimal growth.

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

Added a light, how far should I hang them both from the girls?I have added a Mars Hydro TS600 to my tent along with the Spider Farmer SF1000 in my 2x2, how far should I move them up away from the plants? I'm guessing I don't want them as low as the SF1000 was on its own which was around 15"
Thank you lovely people!

UV LED slowing down growth? Sorry previous question without the question!The plant has a rectangular area in the middle where it is not growing as quickly. The difference is almost 10cm. I suspect the lamp. Could it be that the centrally installed UV LEDs are causing this? They should grow more inside because of more light.

qu'elle est le plus important à prendre en compte le nombre de lux ou le PPFD/DLIlux, ppfd, and dli. While doing this, I realized that it’s hard to have a ppfd between 500 and 1000 for the seedling phase without exceeding the famous 7000 lux. We’re more like approaching 25000 lux if we want to reach the desired ppfd for this phase. How do you do it?Setup. Lighting

3000 watt power useThis is my first time using such a powerful light in my opinion, 3000 watts seems overkill but that's what i want. The question IS, is it better to have 1-2 plants under the 3000 watt or worth it to manage 4 at a higher distance? Cheers. Don't keep techniques in mind.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?
