Adding in an LED board for the last 2-3 weeks of flowering?
Dudders
started grow question 5y 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.

LED lights for veg-Viparspectra xs1000
I have the viparspectra xs1000 light. I turned up to 50% intensity and plant is about 30cm from canopy. Is that right for early vegetation stage?It looks healthy to me but could be wrong. Was going to turn up to 75% later, then 100% for flower. Do I need to move closer the light?

Maximum
I have the LM-3100 Light Meter app on my iPhone using a piece of paper to diffuse like it instructs but I am not sure what the optimal Lux/FC should be. Specifically for LED lights, it is confusing. I have a viaspectra P2590z what’s the max/optimal light?

78,600 lumens at canopy, ok for pre-flower and flowering?
I have recently received a lumen meter. Measuring 78,600 lumen over canopy, is that OK? For my other grow, does anyone know how many lumens seedlings need (at about 25000 now) ? I can convert from PPFD or PAR. Educate me! Thanks

Viparspectra LED tips
I’m looking into buying a viparspectra in the future. Which one is best for one plant? I’ve been looking at the 600W one, but I don’t know if that’s the best option for growing a good yield plant in a 80x80x160cm tent.

600w hps
Wouldnt let me PM. I have a 5ft long 3ft wide 6ft tall white walled grow room and am thinking about a 600w HPS light now. Will this fill the entire room? If so how many plants should I plant? Will this one suffice? Would a 400w hps be more suitable for this space?

Light burn or nutrient burn?
Hey guys. The tips of my leaves are starting to turn yellow and I’m wondering if this is a nutrient burn or light burn? I lowered my ppm feeding to about 250 a few days ago and am growing in ocean forest fox farm soil. And the light is an optic 2 running just the cobs at 24”.

Does it make sense to buy another Viperspectra xs1500 with 150watts? So my question is, if the power of 2 same led lamps add up together?

12.0v LED strip effectiveness
Will this mini led strip help my other weak light out? Or is it wasted energy. I’m still putting the plant in the sun as soon as it gets onto my balcony but while it’s really cloudy and in the evening this is all I’ve got.
