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.

- I have a greenhouse ceiling that covers 50% of the terrace
- should I grow the plants always under this ceiling, or if it is beneficial to expose the plants to direct sunlight?
- If so, how old the plant has to be to expose it to the sunlight? I don't want to burn my seedlingSetup. Lighting

Lighting questionI am running the Viparspectra 450w LED as my light for 4 autos in a 2x4 space. I am worried this isn’t enough, especially because of its lower levels of red. Should I upgrade to something stronger like a Mars hydro 600 or 1000 before flowering start?Or if not Mars something else?Week 4

Light is about 30% Power, about 30 inches away. I previously had it about 26 inches and raised when I noticed this issue about 24 hrs ago. Pics are updated.

Marshydro ts600 for a 50x50x100Hi quick question,
Purchasing 50x50x100 tent
Will the marshydro ts600 be ideal for this yes just shy of 2x2.
Im aware the ts1000 is better and has dimmable option but wouldn't that be too powerful for my little 2x2 with a height if only 100cm? Will be from (marshydroled.co.uk)Setup. Lighting

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?Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Is it worth adding a LED 18w 2700k strip light for last few weeks of flower?Should I add this light for the last few weeks of flower? I have a Streetlight 18w LED strip see pics. I was thinking that if I added this strip designed for flower to my tent like a side light it may help my Viparspectra V300 in fattening those buds a little. Thoughts?Week 12
