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!

Upgrade from 300w mars hydro TS to FC/FCE?
Will I get noticeably better quality results like denser heavier buds and more resin if I upgrade my light from mars hydro TS series to a bar light with higher red spectrum?

Extra belichting
Hallo . Ik zit in de derde week bloei van mijn royal gorilla planten ze staan onder een hps lamp van 600 watt als ik nu nog een extra lamp van 400 watt zou plaatsen zou dat de opbrengst vergroten of een verspilling van energie . Groeten Gorilla

How to make stronger smell and flavour in DWC grows?
Hi guys. Just harvested my second ever harvest, and 2nd time with DWC. Using HPS, then CMH for last 2 weeks I'm really happy with buds, but the smell is a little less intense that I would like. I have used Cannaboost, which is supposed to increase flavour but I want more! :)

Is this stunted or normal?
This plant is 36 days old. Does it look behind or on track to you? I'm wondering if I stunted it or of I'm just over thinking it. I'd love to hear any feedback but especially want to know how you think the size is. Also light to weak? 54watt optic phantom

Bloom light on heat goes too high?
When turning on the bloom setting the temps seem to be getting up to 84 on the very top of my tent and around 80-82 by the bud sites. Is this too high? Is there any problem turning the bloom high power switch off to let it cool down for a half hour once or 2 a day if too hot?

what are you suggestions on Home-Made LEd grow lights and also if you can reccomend cheap alternatives please how i can make this work?
Hello there, fellow growers. I am facing trouble finding a LED grow light in my country right now. I saw a couple of DIY ideas to make a homemade LED grow light using a panel and LED Strips. Can I grow using my own grow light? how many watts of led do I need for 3x3 space?

I have recently received a lumen meter. Measuring 78,600 lumen over canopy, is that OK? For my other grow, does anyone know how many lumens seedlings need (at about 25000 now) ? I can convert from PPFD or PAR. Educate me! Thanks

Hey there, Do you need to put the light on the pots directly after you planted the seeds in the ground? Or do you need to wait untill they poke true the ground and then put the light on them?
