Schould i buy another more expensive lamp with more watts or can i just buy a second xs 1500 ?
Dopacks
started grow question 4y ago
Does it make sense to buy another Viperspectra xs1500 with 150watts? So my question is, if the power of 2 same led lamps add up together?

Yes both together would equal 300 watts. Add another it's 450 watts..

As hempkid said. Also the beauty of having to lamps is if temps get to high you can turn one lamp off to cool down then when that comes back on you could turn the other lamp off.

When to flip into flower?
currently midway through my 9th week of veg and am wondering when I should send plants into flower, should I double check sex first? (Feminized seeds) or wait until my screen fills out more? Plants are in 3 gallons pots and I worry that they might get rootbound if I veg Longer.

Is this stunted or normal?
This plant is 36 days old. Does it look behind or on track to you? I'm wondering if I stunted it or of I'm just over thinking it. I'd love to hear any feedback but especially want to know how you think the size is. Also light to weak? 54watt optic phantom

100W full spectrum enough for 2 plants in a 80x80x160cm tent. Should I get a 300W instead?
So, I bought this light, it's a 100W full spectrum grow light. But I think I might've bought it too hastily. I want to ask you guys before I return it though. Do you think I should get a 300W instead? Planning on growing 2 auto plants ScrOGed.

Does my LED need more red spectrum for flowerin?
I have an HLG 100v2 LED grow light at 4000K. They say 3000K is better for flowering. Does it make any sense for me to add some cheap red LED strips to add red spectrum? I’d rather not buy another more expensive light if I can just supplement this one. See picture.

78,600 lumens at canopy, ok for pre-flower and flowering?
I have recently received a lumen meter. Measuring 78,600 lumen over canopy, is that OK? For my other grow, does anyone know how many lumens seedlings need (at about 25000 now) ? I can convert from PPFD or PAR. Educate me! Thanks

Lighting question
I am running the Viparspectra 450w LED as my light for 4 autos in a 2x4 space. I am worried this isn’t enough, especially because of its lower levels of red. Should I upgrade to something stronger like a Mars hydro 600 or 1000 before flowering start?Or if not Mars something else?

Should one decrease light intensity during early flower?
Should one decrease light intensity during early flower, and then gradually increase again? I see DLI/PPFD recommendations for flowering in general, but not for the different stages of flowering.
