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!

Veg or Bloom mode for Autoflower?
Hiya Folks 😊 As I'm growing an autoflower should I be using the bloom setting on my LED light instead of veg setting? It's only a 200w system and I'm growing in a 3'x3'x6' tent. My plant has just done 28 days from seed!! Cheers 😉

Longer Light Cycle - Mid Bloom
Is changing the light cycle of an autoflower from 18/6 to 20/4 in mid flower too stressful? Doing so would bump my DLI enough to keep my existing light through harvest. She sleeps like clockwork but less so now in mid flower. Will she adjust in a couple days to a longer day?

Is your machine helper leaking light?
Everyone has their ACs and dehumidifiers and whatnot machines in the grow space. Are you covering every little light of those machines in the flowering chamber? Many hermies will be avoided with some aluminium tape. Stay safe, cover those lights and grow ganja!

Contemplating putting 2 plants outside. I have 8 in a 3x3 with Mars hydro tsw2000. It’s pretty tight in there. What do you guys think? Is 8 too many for the size and light? Or should I just leave them as is? I think the the pots are 3 possibly 5 gallon.

Is it worth adding a LED 18w 2700k strip light for last few weeks of flower?
Should I add this light for the last few weeks of flower? I have a Streetlight 18w LED strip see pics. I was thinking that if I added this strip designed for flower to my tent like a side light it may help my Viparspectra V300 in fattening those buds a little. Thoughts?
