Adding in an LED board for the last 2-3 weeks of flowering?
Duddersstarted grow question 4y ago
Currently running a 400w HPS lamp.
Would there be any significant benefit in adding in a 100w LED board on purple or blurple?

No.
Just a waste of electricity.
Your 400 watt HPS will be far superior and also be completely adequate.

Mars Hyrdo TS600 - 100w but mistook for 600wI've recently found out that the led light I have which is a Mars Hydro TS600 is not in fact 600w and is actually 100w.
Do I need to compensate in any way? My plants look healthy but short, I don't want to put the light too far away that it's ineffective, how close is too close?2y ago

Lamp for houseplants?My neighbours fiancé yesterday evening dropped by and gave me the lamp on the photograph, I have no users manual, but I understood it is for houseplants. I wonder if it is of any use and how I can use it. Whenever the sun shines I will put the plant in the sun of courseWeek 2

Lights too close?While trying to figure out why my plant is so dwarf like I realized it might be the height of my lights. They’ve stayed that position ever since installed them. The problem is they’re basically at the ceiling of my box. Is my set up limiting its growth too?Setup. Lighting

Would this be an upgrade or downgrade?Currently using a 400w HPS on a 18/6 schedule for my autoflower.
I've just seen this being sold on FB and wondered whether this might be as efficient/better/worse than what I already have
Appreciate that it's a 'budget' light, but still looks pretty good 🤷♂️🏼Setup. Lighting
