Light height
GermanGrows
started grow question 4y 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 💪

Too much lighting?
Too much/too many lights? Getting all popcorn buds/low yields. Getting a light meter this week. Going through by process of elimination on how I can get better grows. Read the manufactures instructions, but not good with technical electrical/lighting terms. Thank you.

If humans took weed to grow on another planet where the sun was up for 28 hours and down for 10 hours, how well would it grow? Would the plants adapt to the different light / dark times? Or maybe 24 of hours light, 6 hours of dark? Theories? Earthly Proof? Comments? 👽

Mars Hydro TS 1000 [3500K,100W, LED light] (Plants @ 3
Questions: See photos. 1. MARS Hydro TS 1000 will not support 4 cannabis plants, correct? Support = Obtaining full plant potential. 2. The Chinese 3000K lighting won’t “hurt” my plants in veg, right? It’s just simply isn’t the lighting that works for veg growth, yea?

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.

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! :)

Is this light enough to cover my tent?
Hi, I was wondering if my light is big enough to cover the whole tent. -I bought my light from a friend of mine, it says 600Watt but actual wattage is 134W. (Only thing I know) -The tent is 2x2x5 and I'm planning on growing 2 autoflowers in it

Switching from led to hps for flower?
Howdy, does anyone switch from a blurple led board for veg, to a hps or similar style light for flower? Why, why not? Is it worth the little extra hassle to buy and install? I like my led just fine, but wondering if there’s more to be gained in flavor, quality & yield. Thanks!

Have to hide my lovevly plant, what to do?
Funny question, my landlord has to come over to check some stuff in my flat. I'll obviously have to hide it but it will change the light schedule, it's gonna be longer in the dark (probably around 3hours more). Is it a problem? Can i hide the plant somewhere without hurting it?
