Blinking Bulb in LED Light
Mr_Weeds_Autosstarted grow question 3 years ago
Has anyone ever had a blinking bulb in a LED light ? One of my older lights has a bulb that is blinking, wanted to know if it was safe to still use and would it bother the plant? or is this light done for? The light is almost 4 years old also.

This affects the density of photon output, which in turn affects the effectiveness of plant growth and fruit quality.
I used to have a mars 600 that cost me , now to scale it up for a 300w led, the mars is 0, which is crazy. I tried a new brand, Linqool, for 8 and it surprised me.
It is recommended that you replace your 4 year old baby

@Wicked_Stix it's actually a backup light not one I'm currently using in my setup, @gREEn7o0 I just sent a chat with the specs you asked for to see if it's repairable.

It wont hurt the plant but of its 4 years old there is better technology out and it's probably time for an upgrade. I would suggest something with samsung lm301 diodes and a meanwell driver. I prefer straight 3000k spectrum because it seems to make more dense buds

I recently had one go that way. Was a mars hydro tsl-2000
Have a friend that has had a couple ts 3000s go that way as well.
Before I can tell you accurately what is wrong I need your help diagnosing the issue. There is a chance it is repairable.
So first off what brand/model light
Is there a dimmer switch on it
Does deactivating the dimmer switch or going full power eliminate the issue.
Is the light flickering while remaining on, or is it flashing and turning off?

Better temperature for early vegIn auto flower indoor, Early veg, is better have 18ºC/24ºC, or stai around 23°C during all the day. I have an Inkbird that I can set on 23, that is cool when is light off, it warm it up. But with light off it’s drop down temperature to 23.Setup. Lighting

Hans panel 180 use veg mode or notI've got a hans panel, it's got veg setting and flower.
i had it all day on veg mode, seedling was stretching so i placed maybe 30cm from the lamp, but now leaves turned bit yellow.
Would it be better to put it on flower mode and place the seedling further away?Setup. Lighting

Doubling light/adding a panel in flowerAdding a second light panel-- any tips? Will it be too much?
I've been using a viparspectra p1000 in my 2x3ish closet and it's done me well up to this point. Today I've installed a second led panel (not as good as vipar). Wondered if it'll be too much?

What % to keep lights at during late vegMy question was around what power % I should have my lights at? My light is 300watts so I am assuming 50% = 150watts?
Is this enough to continue vegging my plant? I have noticed the growth isn't as vigorous.

High guys,
My Jack Herer will soon move to another closet.
I've got 2 led lights at home for vegging. Both use 60 watt but have a different colour spectrum (only have space for 1).
Which one is my best option FOR VEGGING ONLY!?!?
My options are the Spectrabox or the Cree Cob.
