Switch Fixture During Bloom

Hydronautstarted grow question 3 years ago

Plant exceeded growth expectations. Now the light penetration is not at the desired PPFD half way down this crowded plant. Any reason not to upgrade to a 250 bar light during flower with Autos?

If it has a brightness control knob on it or you have a digital controller then some people swear by running the new more powerful light at 75-80% for a few days to a week and then turning it up to 100% just to ease them into the brighter light, but its not like your going from 100W to 350W or more. 150W to 250W will be fine even at full power. They will love it and you will never go back to the 150W. Also If your running 150W Fluros like your diary says- look into A LED light in the 100W range- it will throw more light then the 250W fluros easily with much less heat.

I think you will be fine IMO. When you make the change keep a eye on her for any signs of stress, I don't think there will be any. I run my autos at full power 24hrs a day from day one with no issues. Cheers

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, Mr.STM

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.

Lights Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?
