Add on lighting
Hey Growdiaries. I’m about to start my 2nd grow but I’m not happy with my Viparspectra 300 for flower. I want a cheap add on for the flower stage? CFLs look like a cheap, low energy use, add on as I’m only growing two plants in a small w3xd2xh3 ft tent. Any advice plz & 🙏🏼

100W full spectrum enough for 2 plants in a 80x80x160cm tent. Should I get a 300W instead?
So, I bought this light, it's a 100W full spectrum grow light. But I think I might've bought it too hastily. I want to ask you guys before I return it though. Do you think I should get a 300W instead? Planning on growing 2 auto plants ScrOGed.

Best Lamps
Dear fellow growers! I kindly ask you to give me strong advice on LED lighting. Specifically, which COMPANY and MODEL is currently THE BEST. For plants, of course - not for the wallet. Price and economic considerations are also important to me, but not the most. Thanx & regards

I have 3 weeks of flowering left over and Id like your guys opinion. Do I leave my plant under the sun for 8hrs (max direct sunlight time) a day or do I keep it under a 6500k 150w Growlight? (For the whole day)

Tent too hot?
I added two blurple lights - I'm not sure how much they're helping growth but they are definitely making the tent hotter - about 5 degrees F. I have a fan blowing at the bottom of the tent and at top over the lights but I'm worried that it might be too hot. Should I ditch them?

Starter kits!
What can I expect from a 600w starter led, I know they're not meant to be great, but of 2 plants in 1.2 x 1.2 x 2m tent, fan kit, filter, etc. I know it won't great an there loads of other factors but say its a good grow, goes well what can you expect with these of good plant.

Help! Timer problem.
My timer on 18-6 broke and i'm not sure if the girls had 24 hours for the past couple days... by putting them back into 18-6 will that trick them into flower? Hope not. Thanks :)

Heat, RH or overwatering? Or alltogether?
Hey my fellow growers! The grow reached 32Celsius the last 2 days in the last hour before going into night time. On that time RH goes down to 32% and this seems like it's stressing this lady a bit. Yesterday fed her nuts - maybe a bit too much? Thank you for stopping by!
