Light height
GermanGrows
started grow question 5y ago
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?

Hang it at 24 inches and power at 25% 👍 don’t need to turn up to 100% until your into flower. Good luck 💪

What's the advantage of running two lights? I have a HLG 600 rspec and a no name red /blue 250w led. Should I incorporate both and at what stage?

Please Help! Seedlings are cupping and twisting!
All my seedings, that are different strains, are tacoing and twisting!! Im starting my seedlings indoors under HLG 65 at 18 in. 78 degrees, 50% RH. I do not understand why they are all doing this (except my white widow) Do i need to move my light further away?

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.

Distance from plant to lamp
I’m growing under a 200W LED light... how close to the light should the seedling be? Right now it’s just about 90cm / 35 inch away from the plant.

Short period grow
Hey fellow growers. So I have an odd question, Is it actually possible to start grow with 12/12 straight away? And how will it affect my plants? Let's say I have 3 autos and one photo. Will I have anything worth the time if I start straight with 12/12 light schedule? Thanks you

Mars Hydro ADLite 100W Under Canopy Advice – Experiences and Controller Compatibility?
Anyone tested the Mars Hydro ADLite 100W Under Canopy? Worth it? In 120x120x200 tent, better use 1, 2, or 3 units? Can I daisy-chain them and control with Phlizon Wi-Fi controller (link below)? Setup: 4 fem plants, DripKit, FD9600. Tips or feedback appreciated! 🙏🌱

Should I switch to flowering now?
The height of my growbox is 120cm (4 feet) and I'm afraid that sativa can grow taller than that.

Nanners?
Can someone verify my latest 2 photos look like nanners? If so, I’d love some insight on why my plants seem to be so light sensitive. Most growers seem to blast their plants with upwards of 200w with little issue. Mine is sitting at 80w 22inches and it seems to be struggling!

Schould i buy another more expensive lamp with more watts or can i just buy a second xs 1500 ?
Does it make sense to buy another Viperspectra xs1500 with 150watts? So my question is, if the power of 2 same led lamps add up together?

Lightning question
Hey, Growers! This week I had to open together the two boxes, so now all the plants have both kind of lights. Do you think, it can have a negative effect on them, or maybe it's good at least for the 140cm height White Widow,because the bottom parts get some more light from there?

Heat, RH or overwatering? Or alltogether?
Hey my fellow growers! The grow reached 32Celsius the last 2 days in the last hour before going into night time. On that time RH goes down to 32% and this seems like it's stressing this lady a bit. Yesterday fed her nuts - maybe a bit too much? Thank you for stopping by!
