Schould i buy another more expensive lamp with more watts or can i just buy a second xs 1500 ?
Dopacks
started grow question 5y 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.

So this is my first solo grow in a completely new setup (previously only grown in collaboration with a friend). Started off with a cheap blurple light. Very slow start then upgraded to a mars hydro TS1000 2 weeks prior to flowering. Topped at 35 days How is she looking?

Can I change my autoflowers light cycle withou reducing their yield significantly?
I am having humidity/mold problems and was thinking of changing the cycle so the grow goes off at noon ( currently it goes off at 1am and its winter and gets real cold with 88% humidity). Even if I stress them, it would be better to not have mold than reducing the yield, right?

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

Anyone affiliated with Mars Hydro? Very disappointed with customer service
My TS 1000’s controller/driver crapped the bed. Contacted customer support, told them the issue, they diagnosed based on videos i send, and was told they were sending replacement parts. 2 weeks later, no email confirmation and no reply to my previous 2 emails sent a week apart.

Lamp to plant distance: is 40cm enough during flowering phase?
Started with 70cm (afraid to "burn" the leaves), but moved it down to 40cm after checking other grow diaries for auto seeds. Should we keep the lamp ~25-40cm away from the plant from now on? *Lamp is a 300W LED panel (full spectrum)

Throw out one plant?
Is it productive to kill one plant if the rest of the plants are filling out the room just fine and to promote ventilation and light penetration? I have one plant that is way shorter and behind the others due to genetic problems.

WHICH LED LIGHTS MY FRIENDS?
Hi friends please advise me. I plan to go full LED on next run looking at spider farmer sf4000 lights are they the right lights to invest in and should I feel confident to invest in 6 of them as high end kit for my garden as they are more affordable than HLG 650r. Thanks friends.

WHAT IS CAUSING MY LEAVES TO CURL? (Day 64 pictures)
The leaves at the top of the plant seem to be curling up. My first guess is that there is too much light. I recently moved my light down to 12 inches above the canopy. The PPFD should still be under 1,000, but I don't know what else could be causing it. Please help. 🙏

at the moment I'm using a 250W HPS and 2 40W CFL, this takes humidity down. When I will afford LEDs do you think that the humidity will stay as per night or drop down like maximum 10% or it will have same behavior as with hps/cfl combo? Thanks

IR cameras and ligth
Are IR cameras dangerous for the night cycle? I have my plants on streaming and I'm thinking of placing an infrared camera and IR LED I'm worried that the IR light can stress the plants and interrupt the night cycle. Wave you experience this with security cameras?

Veg lighting approach? Switching from cfl to hps?
I started my second grow a couple weeks ago with a 130w cfl in my 1m veg cupboard. I’m thinking I will make the switch to a 250w hps soon. I don’t want to overheat the space. Do you think this is a good strategy? I’ll flower the autos in my 1.4m tent with 600w hps.
