Adding in an LED board for the last 2-3 weeks of flowering?
Duddersstarted 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.

Wondering if doing another defoliatation would direct more focus to the main sites?
Also I have three other plants that are about 2.5 weeks younger, so I have to keep an 18/6 light schedule. Would I have to switch the flowering plant to 12/12 even though it's an auto?

Started the plants off with 60 watts. Increased to 100 watts today with a 20/5 schedule. Could I increase to the full 150 watts already or should I give them a few days with 100? Thanks in advance for any advice. It’s my first indoor grow with this setup and I’m still learning :)

LED light recommendationI am going to need a new LED light to hang from the ceiling. I am looking for a light that has the red/blue spectrum. A dimmer switch would be awesome- the ones I read about that include-seedling, veg and flowering settings sound amazing.
Any recommendations out there?
Thanks inSetup. Lighting

Lamp distanceHello. I have a question about my lamp distance. I’ve changed the lamp to MARS HYDRO 2023 TS600 LED a week ago and a distance to the plant was 18 inches. During this week a plant grew and the distance became 12 inches. I lifted the lamp to 13 inches. What distance I have to keep?Week 6

Switching from led to hps for flower?Howdy, does anyone switch from a blurple led board for veg, to a hps or similar style light for flower? Why, why not? Is it worth the little extra hassle to buy and install? I like my led just fine, but wondering if there’s more to be gained in flavor, quality & yield. Thanks!Setup. Lighting

Flip light schedule1 week into flowering and I need to change lighting schedule, complete reversal from night/day due to cold night tempswhen lights are on. Only way to achieve would be to have 24 hours of dark. There maybe an impact but warmer day temps I'm sure will benefit in the end. ThoughtsWeek 4

Lightning questionHey, Growers! This week I had to open together the two boxes, so now all the plants have both kind of lights. Do you think, it can have a negative effect on them, or maybe it's good at least for the 140cm height White Widow,because the bottom parts get some more light from there?

Light came on for about 30 seconds about 3 hours into the dark cycleSo Im 3 days into 12/12 and I bumped my timer last night and my light came on suddenly during the dark cycle. I immediately shut it right back off. Was I wrong in shutting it back off right away? Should I be worried about anything?4y ago
