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!

Tent too hot?
I added two blurple lights - I'm not sure how much they're helping growth but they are definitely making the tent hotter - about 5 degrees F. I have a fan blowing at the bottom of the tent and at top over the lights but I'm worried that it might be too hot. Should I ditch them?

Seeking a reasonably priced light for 2x4x6 tent (still)
I'm interested in picking this up. Thoughts? I have a 2x4x6 tent. I believe it's 50w x 8sqft is 400 watts needed? https://www.amazon.com/iPower-Digital-Dimmable-System-Reflector/dp/B006GGP8P4/ref=sr_1_2?_encoding=UTF8&c=ts&dchild=1&keywords=Plant+Growing+Light+Fixtures&qid=16110

UV LED slowing down growth? Sorry previous question without the question!
The plant has a rectangular area in the middle where it is not growing as quickly. The difference is almost 10cm. I suspect the lamp. Could it be that the centrally installed UV LEDs are causing this? They should grow more inside because of more light.

Invert light/dark during a grow
For veg period is better if I start with light on in the day, and off in the night, but for bloom period it will be too cold, can I invert light/dark during a grow? I will have light on in night and light off in the day.. does the plant have any problems if I do that?

Distance from plant to lamp
I’m growing under a 200W LED light... how close to the light should the seedling be? Right now it’s just about 90cm / 35 inch away from the plant.

Voost VST240
Looking for a good budget light for a 4x4 grow. The Voost VST240 looks like a fantastic spec but no real information out there that I can find. Any users? Also considering a Migrow Array when the bigger version hits the market.

Anyone have any history with vibrating HPS lamps? Mine keeps making a buzzing/rattling noise. I’m thinking it’s the metal inside rattling on the glass so if I slightly rotate it it may stop? What do you think? Thanks!

I have several question about my setup for the first week:
- is the distance of the light to the plant ok? - is the intensity of 25% correct? - should I remove the seed coat or should I just let Mother Nature do it, eventually it will be blown up..

Have to hide my lovevly plant, what to do?
Funny question, my landlord has to come over to check some stuff in my flat. I'll obviously have to hide it but it will change the light schedule, it's gonna be longer in the dark (probably around 3hours more). Is it a problem? Can i hide the plant somewhere without hurting it?
