It is possible to rig two timers in parallel with one ballast. Then you can program varying intensity to simulate natural day light with weaker mornings, intense mid-days, and ramping down evenings.

When to lower light intensity?When is the right time to lower light intensity? I'm on 5th week of flowering, should I keep my lights on max or reduce the power/increase the distance to plants? I have around 1000W of Led's at 35-60cm distance from the tops. I see no burning/bleaching or anything like that.

Lifespan of led grow lights?Lifespan of LED quantum boards?
Hi
I'm looking for anyone who has first hand experience with the lifespan of the led grow lights. I'm not looking for the manufacturer guidelines. Just anyone who has noticed any difference in performance from the LEDs over time..

Best Light Schedule for Autoflowers?I'm wondering what light schedules my fellow growers like to use with their Autoflowers? I'm debating weather the additional cost of a 20/4 is worth it in terms of growth and increased Bud Quality/Size over a 18/6 schedule. I would love to hear your experiences.Setup. Lighting

Mars Hyrdo TS600 - 100w but mistook for 600wI've recently found out that the led light I have which is a Mars Hydro TS600 is not in fact 600w and is actually 100w.
Do I need to compensate in any way? My plants look healthy but short, I don't want to put the light too far away that it's ineffective, how close is too close?2y ago
