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!

Grow light question I bought a cheap light by KingLED. It’s only 100 Watts and I’m unsure if it’s enough for one plant. The light has 2 switches, one for veg and one for flower. Should I always have both on since it will be an autoflower?

Hey growmies✌️💚, so I finally have a PAR meter. With all my 3 LEDs on at the lowest setting I reach like 77 umol max. What would you recommend for seedlings that small like in the picture? I saw seedling/clone 100 - 300. So just wondering how much for my little flowers? 😁✌️

Irregular light schedule.I am thinking about giving her 24h lights a few days a week and then go back to 18h. Just to give her a boost. Will this irregular light schedule harm her? My first thought is that it doesn’t matter much since she is an auto, however I know that plants love balanced environments.

Is my LED too close or too far from my plant?So this is my first grow and it feels like she’s growing a bit slow. Currently at day 10. Distance was 62 cm. The LED is 100W. Now the distance is 57 cm. I’m wondering if I’m just impatient. Is this distance appropriate? How is the growth looking?

Lighting cycle for VEG stage. Is 24x7 OK?Hi, Should I use the VEG lights 24x7 from the time I plant my seed until it's ready to bloom, or would something like 18 hours on and 6 hours off make more sense? Is there a "best practice" for veg lighting? It has worked for my first 3 grows. VIPARSPECTRA 600W LED Thanks, Mr.STM

Bad idea?Will a mars hydro TS1000 be too strong for a 60x60x140cm tent? I have been using a TS600 and TS1000 in tandem in a tent 4x too big for the light level, I have been growing strong and tasty buds but with low yields so downsizing my tent size to maximise the light.

Lights Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?
