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

Flowering lights never turned off
Power outage messed with my system and lights didn't shut off. Need a little advice. Should I just stick to the original schedule and she will just get 30 hours of light for one day or should I turn them off.

light intensity for clones right after transplant ?
basically should you treat them like a early veg ? using migro 4 array and it recommends 40 percent intensity at 35 cm away for early veg. or because they are just transplanted should I give them a lower light intensity.

Additional lighting in flower???
I’m planning on putting another 2 x 600wLED (blurpul colour type) alongside my current 2 x1000w led Cree cob lights. I have them spare and was hoping this will help with flower/thc production??? Is it worth putting them in or just wasting electricity. Any help appreciated 🤙✌️🎄

New update got my new grow light dialed in.. And the nutes helped a lot seen more growth in one day than I had in the last 23 days! I am worried that if I place the light at the recommended height (6”) that would be too much so I’m running the lights at 50% power and at 12” away

I purchased two Vipar Spectra 300 LED Lights. I am only using one right now because i was concerned two would be too much for the seedling phase. Should I keep just the one light or Put up Both ? When would be a good point in the plants life cycle to put up the extra lights ?

Longer Light Cycle - Mid Bloom
Is changing the light cycle of an autoflower from 18/6 to 20/4 in mid flower too stressful? Doing so would bump my DLI enough to keep my existing light through harvest. She sleeps like clockwork but less so now in mid flower. Will she adjust in a couple days to a longer day?

Best Lamps
Dear fellow growers! I kindly ask you to give me strong advice on LED lighting. Specifically, which COMPANY and MODEL is currently THE BEST. For plants, of course - not for the wallet. Price and economic considerations are also important to me, but not the most. Thanx & regards

Reverse flowering time
could I reverse the time when putting into bloom and switching from a 12/12 program? I could turn on at 00:00 and turn off the light at 12:00, because honestly I keep them on during the night and I turn them off at noon and I would like to do the opposite, can I?

Light Decrease, yay or nay? (I'm in no rush)
SHOULD I DECREASE LIGHT TO 10 HRS TO SIGNAL TO THE BUDS ITS SNIPPIN' TIME? I'm in no rush, only that the light setup is not ideal for younguns! Don't wanna bully them til they're frail and weak... and not dank.
