Wattage and distance from plant
timbarinstarted grow question 2 years ago
Hi all. I need an advice about the height and wattage I should apply to my automatic plants . They are on 18/6 schedule
This is a new grow. The plant is at day 8. The lights are at 60 cm and each led is set to 80w totaling 160w in a 60x60x160cm grow tent.

Hey there Timbarin, you can get much much closer with your lights, try something like 40cm and just raise it as the plant grows , it seems too close, but that's how it is supposed to be. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Personally, I have adopted a method of leaving the light on full intensity and placing the light as high as I can. I use a similar size space, yet a little taller. I have noticed a difference in plant health, keeps the temps pretty level and humidity is ok. You are using a higher wattage of light than me so maybe 75-80% at first and raise it as you go into flower. I hope this helps, good luck and happy growing

When to turn the light on after sprouting?We have a sprout! Tropicana Banana sprouted between 10pm last night and noon today. Can I turn the light on now, and start the 18-6 schedule tonight or will it fuck it up if I turn the light back off at midnight tonight to begin the 18-6 schedule?

Veg/Bloom switchMy plants are 5 weeks from germination, I have flowers and buds forming but I am starting to worry they aren't growing as they should (I want them bigger). I have had my light veg and bloom switches on throughout.
Would you recommend I change over to just bloom switch now?

New house - new light!Since I'm moving in a month or two I'm gonna buy a new light for vertical growing for celebration!
I'm still going to use the 80x80 but I'll have some space in a separate room, more comfy..
Which light is better for a vertical grow?
