Marshydro FC oder FC-E
Kolibristarted grow question 2 years ago
Lohnt sich der Mehrpreis der FC Serie im Vergleich zur FC-E Serie?
Auf dem Papier ist der Unterschied ja eher marginal.

To me it’s not.. it’s just slightly more efficient basically. You could argue the diodes may last longer too.
FC runs Samsung 301b diodes
FCE runs some bridgelux diodes
I think driver may be different brand also.
I run the FC E4800 and love it.. when I expand I will do the FCE series.
I think it’s just a way to make a bit more money on the name brand LM301B diodes everyone seems to think are so much better. Like you said they’re marginally better, and it’s mainly just efficiency I believe.
I say go FCE series personally.
I’ve got a few grows under them in diaries of ya wanna look

I would go for SP series. have two, love them.
All results which I saw FC Vs SP - SP had nicer and better results in my personal view looking at photos or numbers of harvests....
Good luck !

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent?
I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.Other. General questions

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi,
Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED
Thanks,

LED lights for veg-Viparspectra xs1000I have the viparspectra xs1000 light. I turned up to 50% intensity and plant is about 30cm from canopy. Is that right for early vegetation stage?It looks healthy to me but could be wrong. Was going to turn up to 75% later, then 100% for flower. Do I need to move closer the light?

2X ViparSpectra V600 Distanz?Hey,
ich frage mich was die optimale Distanz der Lampen zueinander wäre,
um eine Fläche von 120x100cm auszuleuchten?
Die Intensität nimmt zu je näher etwas unter der Quelle ist
Addiert sich die Intensität bzw der par Wert bei Überschneidung?
Erfahrungen?
Vielen Dank 👍

How to switch to floweringIt's been about 5 weeks from germination. I think we're ready to switch to flowering. I'm just not certain on how to go about it. Do I gradually reduce 18/6 of the veg light down to 12/12 (over a week?) then pop in the flower bulb? Or do I just make a hard switch?Week 4

Can you use a 450 watt white led light to start seedlings? If so what distance should the light be and when should I make it closer? The reason I am asking this is because I don’t like transplanting autos as they are fragile to transplanting from what I’ve looked up
