Switch Fixture During Bloom
Benzelsanswered grow question 2 years ago
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

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,

Light burn2 fairly new leaves at top (opposite ends) seem to show signs of light burn (yellow tips). They recently turned a bit more green but the tips are still quite yellow. Light = 13 inches away. PAR 370 at center, 350 on sides. DLI=~ 22.5. CO2 bag in tent (at about 620). Thoughts?
