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.

Starting photos indoors for June transplant
Want to start photos on a 14/10 schedule in April to match the lights around June 1st. Can I grow my babies on a 14/10 indoor schedule or could that possibly induce early flowering? I would rather not slowly adjust down from 18 to 14 before Xplant as suggested otherwise

Do I keep dimming my light to try to get proper DLI?
Currently at 22" above soil at 50% intensity and still getting ~50DLI at Germ/Seedling stage (too high?). It's a 240W LED. Do I keep dimming the light or do I change light schedule (24h currently) to get proper DLI?

Short plants in flowering
Flowering started but the plants still seem a bit short. Maybe too much or too close light? Or something else? Tried avoiding light off because its hard controlling the rise of humidity.

Is that just a light burn or could it be something else?
One bud in the middle of my plant is much lighter than all the others, which all look healthy and green. I think it was due to the too small distance of my light, which was only 20cm (8") between canopy and light. I have now moved the light to 35cm (14"). What are your opinions?

Less light for an auto? Maybe 12/12?
Been going with 18/6 for my cream autoflower from growers choice from Day 1. Now 5 weeks into flower I’m wondering if she would benefit from less light, like 12/12, as you would for a photo period plant. What do you think? Would she be happy flowering in some more dark period?

Viparspectra P2000 height and intensity
For those that have experience with the light I'm using, Viparspectra P2000, how high and what intensity percentage should I have it? Currently I'm at 21" at 75% power. Also, I run it 24/7. I have an app on my phone and it says my DLI is at like 56 which seems way too high.

Comparing My 2 LED lights
Light comparison. Ive got 4 plants in a 3x3 and am currently running the ViparSpectra V600 LED. I just got offered a MarsHydro TS1000 and Im not sure if it's an upgrade or downgrade. I've watched so many review videos and end up more confused. Should I run both?

NDL VS LED
So the switch to LED is happening, I hope the ladies are okay with it now... except for one bent leaf and the shock of suddenly getting rained on by poles, nothing has happened to them...🙈 this serves as a picture update since I can't change them in the individual weeks....
