Grow light help

SlyNJen15started grow question 5y ago

What is the best LED grow light under 0 USD? My tent is only 16"×16"×48". I do not want to light burn them. My current light said 1000 watt but on the paper says 185 watt. Do I need a bigger light for 2 plants in a tent this size? If so what is the best option on a budget?

OK your light is probably fine for your size area. It's not about the Watts with LED. When they say 1000 and it only uses 180W they mean it should be comparable to a 1000W hps. I run a room a bit bigger then yours with a marshydro ts1000 and thats 150W

Hello. You might try the Mars Hydro Rep on this site. They are doing a promotion now. I think it's MARS_HYDRO_Niel. Chuck.

Should I flip?I’ve got my plants in 2gal fabric pots and I’m not planning on transplanting up. The plants are averaging about 8/9” and I’m starting to see small roots out the bottom. Should I flip to flowering, or can I get away with another week of veg?

From 24h to 18/6h during flowering ok (autoflower)?Royal AK47 Autoflower: Changing from a 24h light cycle (since beginning) to 18/6h when already flowering - no problem or not recommended? The temp is a bit too high (~30*C) I think.

Grow light question I bought a cheap light by KingLED. It’s only 100 Watts and I’m unsure if it’s enough for one plant. The light has 2 switches, one for veg and one for flower. Should I always have both on since it will be an autoflower?

PAR/PPFD and light height PAR/PPFD: does light height matter if your PPFD is in the right range? Another way to ask: is 300 PPFD @ 2 feet the same as 300 PPFD @ 20 feet, or are there other factors involved? (assuming heat, C02, all other non light inputs equal)
