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.

Mars Hydro FC4800 vs FC-E4800
FC4800 = 2016 samsung diodes| 2,8 µmol/j |1347µmol PPE -- FC-E4800= 2646 bridgelux diodes | 2,7 µmol/j |1328µmol PPE Both are 480watt lights... Is there a difference between µmol 2,7 and 2,8 when it comes to yield? Is the FC4800 worth the extra money? Doesn't cost much more

Discoloration and patches on the top sugar leaves
Leaves circled have gone lime green to yellow with the dark and light spots shown in the image. Is it light burn, wind burn or something more sinister?!

Light strength
2 of my autos have been harvested and now I just have 1 mature plant mid flower and I've started my 3 other seedlings. I've got a tsw 2000 w/310 wts. Should I keep my lights at 100% for maximum growth or should I back off a touch to say 75 or 80%?

I used the photone app in order to get these numbers that are pictured below ! I’m going to research them but I’d thought I’d share them anyway.

I realize at this point way too much light,Down to just 1200 W LED which is equal to about 600 w MHS with both Veg & Bloom on Any advice to achieve optimal distance from the tops? Watering with nutrients only or should I alternate with low ph water flush once a month

Light source change stress?
Can changing light source cause stress to your plant? Yesterday I changed from a CFL to a 150w Mars Hydro LED and this morning she looked a bit "sad". I took the photo straight after watering hence the damp soil.

Spider Farmer driver failure. LED HELP. Should've went HLG.
Ok this is hard. Sf 4000 driver failure & idk what I did lol. Plugged into extensions and a surge protector but aside from flipping a fuse every once in awhile this came out of nowhere. Any help would be great or even just where to start. Already checked connections.
