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 💪

Is it worth adding a LED 18w 2700k strip light for last few weeks of flower?
Should I add this light for the last few weeks of flower? I have a Streetlight 18w LED strip see pics. I was thinking that if I added this strip designed for flower to my tent like a side light it may help my Viparspectra V300 in fattening those buds a little. Thoughts?

24 hour light cycle?
How advisable is it to run 24 hour light cycle? I’m interested because I live in the north and we’re getting to winter. The light divers provide some heat. They’re autoflower OG Kush.

Height Spider Farmer SE3000 week 5 flower
PAR increased to 600 PPFD, done by lowering the light to 35 cm above canopy. What do you think? is that too low? I'm using a Spider Farmer SE3000 (300 Watt). Anybody experience with this light? How high did you hang it from week 5 of flower to the end?

Mars Hydro TS1000 and Spider Farmer SF1000D in 26x26 tent together?
I’ve purchased an Mars Hydro FC-E 3000 for my 3x3 tent, so I now have a TS 1000 I’ve removed from the 3x3, that I want to move to my 26x26 and run it along side my Spider Farmer SF1000D. Is that overkill/pointless waste of energy for that size environment?

LEDs for 32x32 tent
New to indoor growing. Set up a 32x32 Vivosun tent. Currently have a giixer 1000w light, but wasn’t feeling the coverage was good enough for several plants. So I just ordered a second one. Do you think 2 giixer 1000w leds is ridiculous overkill? Any thoughts appreciated.

Lamp to Plant distance - Outdoor.
If growing outside, what is the best way to calculate lamp (star) to plant distance for the journal each week based on time of year and rotation of our lovely planet? I am being facetious, of course! It's just a fun question for you all. Hope everyone out there good!

Light timer Problem
Hey Growers. So I made a dumbass mistakes…..for the last 18 days I have had my light timer set for 12 hrs 15 mins on and 11 hrs 45 off. They are looking good and budding up. I’m wondering is that close enough to 12/12 to have my day 1 flower be true for accuracy sake. Thanks

Light recommendation
what led light would you recommend for a Secret Jardin DS150W (77x150x200cm)? It need to have a remote driver and be full spectrum. It could also be 2 lights.

How can I prevent these light burn issues?
It seems these Mars hydro lights are not so great. This is my third grow and having the same issue every time. Red stems where they are exposed to light. Yellowing leaves. But when I move the lights further away, stretching is very bad. Should I just get new light?
