Does any devices exist to run 2 bulbs alternatively (like two 12 hrs cycles, one On, the other Off) out of one ballast ?

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.

Full spectrum or all red grow light?Hey guys! I have a Fast Eddy CBD autoflower grow on its 6th week and in full flower. I have been using a 150W UFO full spectrum light in a bucket, but I have another 150w UFO light that is all red. So my question is, would it help or make any difference if I changed it?

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.

Hi all, Are the leaves point upwards a good sign of a happy plant or a sign of too much light? This is my first grow and i am trying a variety of setups and just trying to be cautious as what I have read in the forums is either one way or the other. Thanks!

Mars TSL 2000 doubt I just installed my new Mars TSL 2000 and noticed that some of the IR LEDs are more faded than the others. Is it normal in LED lights? Also the LEDs distribution is different than the advertised. Ripped off or just a different model?
