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 💪

How much light - PPFD - without CO2?
How high in power should I go with my lights without CO2 enrichment? I can comfortably provide 1200 PPFD to the canopy, but I'm holding it down near 900 because I'm not sure the extra power used would yield an increase in, um, yield.

Light Burn? Mars Hydro TS3000 at 30% Power, 26 inches away per manual. I have since raised back to 30 inches.
Is this light burn? I noticed some slight yellowing/crispy looking leaf at day 11. Light is about 30% Power, about 30 inches away. I previously had it about 26 inches and raised when I noticed this issue about 24 hrs ago. Pics are updated. Temps: 70-75 RH: 50-60 Soil Runoff: 6.5

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.

the light came on by accident at night
Здравствуйте! Случайно во время сна включился свет в гроубоксе на 10 мин. Слишком ли это пагубно для двух автоцветов? Не станут ли гермафродитами?

Autoflower kabinde Photoperiod yetiştirebilir miyim?
Autoları (3X) yetiştirdiğim kabinde photoperiod bitki yetiştirebilir miyim? Işık döngüsü şu an 20-4. Bu autoları hasat edene kadar photoperiod olan bitkinin veg' de kalmasını sağlar mı? Yani photoperiod bitkime Veg dönemi için 18-6 yerine 20-4 ışık periyodu uygulayabilir miyim?

Diferencia en el color verde de las hojas
Estas plantas automáticas están recibiendo la misma alimentación, agua, etc y están en el mismo tipo de sustrato. Pero unas (las más oscuras) reciben luz artificial adicional (Neón CFL) para llegar a tener 17h de luz al día. ¿Es normal la diferencia? ¿Cuál se ve mejor?

Light pointed at white wall for supplemental lighting?
Does it makes sense to have a small 300W COB LED pointed at the white flat painted wall for supplemental lighting? If I point the light directly at the plants I would surely burn them but have no space to move back.
