Light height. Vivosun VS1000
DonnieRedBuck
started grow question 5y ago
I have a Vivosun vs1000. Paper that came with it says seedling 24 inches. This conflicts with things that I have read saying 18. Anyone have experience with this light? It’s in a 2x2x4 Vivosun tent. Thanks

Light intensity should increase as plant grows till flowering. If you don't have a dimmer then 24 to 30 inches in seedling stage is roughly right.

LED distance in grow 80x80x160
I placed the LED at a distance of 45-50cm from the seeds and consequently it was about 65-70cm from the larger plant. I have 4 plants Is it ok like this? I don't have a luxmeter and I use the phototone app to get an idea of the PPFD in each plant. LED QB 120w, LM301H

Do I need to lower my lights?
Do I need to lower my lights? I'm using a Kingbrite 240W Samsung lm301h and I just went into flowering period. I think the light is a bit overpowered for the room, so I've left it at about 21 inches above the tops of the plant. At this distance, all areas are getting 27k lux.

When to turn the light on after sprouting?
We have a sprout! Tropicana Banana sprouted between 10pm last night and noon today. Can I turn the light on now, and start the 18-6 schedule tonight or will it fuck it up if I turn the light back off at midnight tonight to begin the 18-6 schedule?

How big of an issue is light? HELP
How do you know whether to raise or lower your lights? My LED is pulling about 250watts from the wall... Box said keep light 30" away during veg... But I'm not so sure about that. Thoughts? How will I know if it needs more/less light?

Confused with light schedules for outdoor growing
Hi fellow growers, I'm really confused with light schedules for outdoor growing. Everywhere I see 18/6 for veg and 12/12 for flowering. However at my place I get ~13hours of daylight (not always sunlight) Would my plants get into flowering if daylight is reduced to ~11 hours?

LEDs lumens
is there a method (which does not involve the purchase of a rather expensive device) to measure the lumens present in the growbox? I would like to make sure that the LEDs that I bought have the same performance declared on the package 😕

Growing out instead of up.
Please help out! I moved it into a new pot and topped it last week as suggested. Also new ViparSpectra light at 45cm away @80% power. Nutrients/food yet to arrive. It seems to just be growing out instead of up, and starting to see some white/ burnt looking spots. Suggestions?
