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.

Light height
Hello all I have a mars hydro tsw 2000. I was noticing the recommended height is 24 inches for seedlings. Is this at 100% intensity? That's well over 1000 ppfd by my meter. I thought seedlings could only handle 200-400?

Lamp distance from seedlings? PPFD uploaded in this weeks photos.
How far away I should have my lamp from my week old seedlings? I think it has something to do with the PPFD for my lamp (TS600), but I have no idea what it means. The lamp is set right at the very top of my tent now and is 32 inches (81cm) away. See photos in week 1.

300w COB CREE Distance?
I've put my 6 seedlings under a 300W COB CREE UFO light, atm is a 30cm distance from them, I do hope is not too close. I've only a 140cm height and more would be problematic to manage in the long period.

light on humidifier :(
okay I think I might have fucked up (lol). I bought a new humidifier. And I didn’t realize it has a light in it. And i run it in the ten over the whole night. It’s not powerful at all but it’s also not just a little led. Do u recon my plant will be okay. I covered it now.

Lux Meter and Hydroponics
Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.

Lights for heat- 24/7 okay?
I really need the heat of the lights to keep the inside of my tent warm. To warm the air around the tent 24/7 would be expensive- much more expensive than using the lights all the time. But will this work with 24 hour lights? Will that stress the plants? Using auto flowers.

Yellowing leaves & tips curling down on 14th day. Coco / Autopot / Hesi / Mars Hydro fc-1500
Would gladly use some help with my first grow 🙏 2 main reasons come to mind after googling: 1. I overwatered thinking it's hard to do since I'm using the Air dome. 2. Too intense light. Was checking a lot of growers that actually grow 24/0 and went for it 75% 40cm.
