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 💪

When to raise light potency with autoflowers
I don't really know when to raise the amount of light when growing autos. I think I'll wait for them to complete 15 full days and then I'll raise the LED panel to 50cm, change from 20% to 40% potency and observe how they behave.

Started the plants off with 60 watts. Increased to 100 watts today with a 20/5 schedule. Could I increase to the full 150 watts already or should I give them a few days with 100? Thanks in advance for any advice. It’s my first indoor grow with this setup and I’m still learning :)

2 hour power cuts (Loadshedding)
Does anyone know what random 2 hour power cuts would do to autoflowers? Sometimes 2/3 times a day. I am supplementing with battery powered lights but I sometimes forget... They are on a 24 hour light cycle

I need help choosing a better light for my single plant microgrow!
H50cm W37.5cm L57cm Now using 1 household 13w Phillips LED 2700K for flower, a 120w CFL for veg and I use a cheap 20w dual Spectrum LED that I'm sure does almost nothing. See pics for convo with led sales guy. Is the height really that much of an issue with the light intensity?

Lamp for houseplants?
My neighbours fiancé yesterday evening dropped by and gave me the lamp on the photograph, I have no users manual, but I understood it is for houseplants. I wonder if it is of any use and how I can use it. Whenever the sun shines I will put the plant in the sun of course

2 Lampen
I ordered a lamp from Amazon, it probably won't have super performance, but I thought if I ever do flowering and still have a few seedlings, I could separate them. What do you think about that? Right now, it's just serving as support.

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?

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

How to make stronger smell and flavour in DWC grows?
Hi guys. Just harvested my second ever harvest, and 2nd time with DWC. Using HPS, then CMH for last 2 weeks I'm really happy with buds, but the smell is a little less intense that I would like. I have used Cannaboost, which is supposed to increase flavour but I want more! :)

Boost buddy
Now with the rising temperatures, I'm reaching 31-34°C in the indoor. I use Boost Buddy, a CO2 generator through the decomposition of bacteria. Is that enough, or should I modify the indoor in some way to avoid reaching those temperatures? Thanks

Probleme Mars Hydro tsw2000
Hey there, I have a problem with my MarsHydroTsw2000. It's connected to a timer, and almost every day when it turns off and then back on after 6 hours, one side of the LEDs doesn't work anymore. Then I have to unplug it and plug it back in, and everything is fine again.
