Standby lights in grow tent, under dark period/night time
TheHighentist
started grow question 4y ago
My humidifier has a weak blue standby light. Does this make it impossible for me to use during the plants dark period?

Tape it with electrical tape. If you are growing Autos it shouldn't be a problem, if you are growing photos then tape the motherfucker, any light leaks could stress the plant and turn her hermaphrodite.

Tape over the light if you're really concerned about it but this shouldn't bother any grow of any kind! Good luck!

When to switch LED to 100% power?
Another question. I appreciate everyone's response to the last ones. I am finding it difficult to google this one. When do I switch my LED to 100%? Currently, I am running it at roughly 60% at about 24in. Am I in 'true' veg? Its working on its 3rd node that has 5 fingers.

SF-1000 safe distance and dimmer for seedlings in soil?
my seedlings are stretching and not growing in size. soil, autos, dropped in water 7 days ago and moved to soil in solo cups. What are people running the SF-1000 at for seedlings? I was at 30" and 20% but that's not good clearly. I've moved to 24" @ 45% so far.

Did I start LST too early?
At day 22, did I start LST too early? I feel that I may have stunted the growth a little from overheating, but didn't want to wait too long to start training. Also, would a higher-powered light cause less distance between the nodes, and therefore make LST harder/less effective?

Is it better to have one light unit that covers the full area of the tent or use multiple smaller ones? Im using 2 small leds. Is it better to have the ability to dim the lights or just have one power of intensity?

White and blurple led in same tent?
I recently upgraded to a TS1000 for my flower tent, and am waiting on an SF1000D for my veg tent, and now have a tmlapy “1500w” blurple sitting around. Would i gain anything running the blurple and ts1000 in the same tent? Or is it not worth the extra energy consumption

Heat, RH or overwatering? Or alltogether?
Hey my fellow growers! The grow reached 32Celsius the last 2 days in the last hour before going into night time. On that time RH goes down to 32% and this seems like it's stressing this lady a bit. Yesterday fed her nuts - maybe a bit too much? Thank you for stopping by!

So I’m wondering if it’s ok to grow a plant indoor and outdoor. Id like to put them out only on nice days then bring them back in. Come flower time around august id like to do the same thing. Will this stress them? And will this effect how much par I need to drive down on them?

Lamp distance from seedlings? PPFD uploaded in this weeks photos.
How far away I should have my lamp from my week old seedlings? I think it has something to do with the PPFD for my lamp (TS600), but I have no idea what it means. The lamp is set right at the very top of my tent now and is 32 inches (81cm) away. See photos in week 1.
