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 💪

LED Light Spacing
So my taller plants are starting to get bright green on top. My light is 25” from the tops. I measured today, and if I keep the lights that far away during flowering, I hardly have any space to grow them taller. It’s a 6’8” tent. The bloom light also isn’t on yet. What do I do?

Is this a sign of too much light?
I’m noticing the leaves grow extremely close to each other, should I be concerned at this stage, should I pull the light higher back? This is day 3 of week 2, I’m feeding it full advanced nutrients line up for veg. And drying out for a day and a half between waterings

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?!

HLG UVA supplement
Introduced this hlg 30 uva light as a supplement to the twin 260s. I've read just 3 hours a day increasing 1 hour per week up to 4-6 hours before harvest. Anyone recommend anything differently or just run it 18/6 with the lights?

Hilfe zu warm im Zelt?.... keine Regulierung mehr möglich :-(
I have a question.... I only have a 1.6m tall tent and my big ladies are now almost 80cm tall. My problem is that the temperature at the leaf canopy is almost 30 degrees. I've already left the tent door and the apartment door open, but that doesn't help much; the thermometer is...

Hps mixed with mars hydro 600 yield?
Hey all! So i been thinking about ways to cut heat of course lol. So I’m thinking about getting a mars hydro 600 and running it with my 400w hps at 250w on the dimmer. Do you guys think I will yield about the same as if I was just running the hps on super lumens?

LED's wont shut completely off
Lights seem to go on a "standby mode" instead of being all the way shut when timers switch them off. Should I buy some other timers? These were brand new, cheap ones though and both the same. Lights are HLG 600 RSPEC and both did this.
