lightsHow do you use plant LED lights? I am using the BESTVA 3000, which has separate growth and bloom lights. After flowering begins, should I use both the growth and bloom lights together, or only the bloom lights?

variable Lichtzyklen bei Autoflowers?Idee für nächsten Grow. Hat jemand schon mal versucht bei Autoflower die Lichtzyklen anzupassen um die Pflanze auf voller Leistung zu fahren? Meine Idee ist die Beleuchtung während des Grow anzupassen auf: Seedling 24/0, Veg-Phase 18/6 und späte Blüte 12/12. Input? Erfahrungen?Setup. Lighting

What light for floweringHi! I have a full spectrum light bulb red/blue and a small amount of white and another growing light bulb but more white/yellow. As I'm transitioning to flowering, which bulb should I use to get big buds? I can't find clear answer on the web. Thanks 🙏🙇♂️Week 6

Is this a sign of too much light?I’m noticing the leaves grow extremely close to each other, should I be concerned at this stage, should I pull the light higher back? This is day 3 of week 2, I’m feeding it full advanced nutrients line up for veg. And drying out for a day and a half between waterings

Eyeball and advise on my set up, and is this seedling stretching?Is my set up good until my humidifier comes? (using inflow air from in-line fan with a tray of water for humidity for now).
I set up an additional light because I was concerned that this bad boy was stretching and want to provide some extra light for lower canopy later.

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

Just ordered a 150W Quantum Board, can I swap my Blurple UFO mid grow to the new board? Is it possible to increase flower size this late into a grow?My Blurple apparently uses 230W actual draw but is advertised as 600W. If that 230W value is correct, does that suggest my new, much more expensive QB is not as good? Will it make a difference to the plants health? What are the benefits from the QB? Thanks!6y ago

LUX meter grow questionCan someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them.
My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light alreadyWeek 7

Veg lighting approach? Switching from cfl to hps?I started my second grow a couple weeks ago with a 130w cfl in my 1m veg cupboard. I’m thinking I will make the switch to a 250w hps soon. I don’t want to overheat the space. Do you think this is a good strategy? I’ll flower the autos in my 1.4m tent with 600w hps.Setup. Lighting
