Lamp for houseplants?
Agricola_Borealisstarted grow question 3 years ago
My neighbours fiancé yesterday evening dropped by and gave me the lamp on the photograph, I have no users manual, but I understood it is for houseplants. I wonder if it is of any use and how I can use it. Whenever the sun shines I will put the plant in the sun of course

It's probably better than nothing at all but if you don't have any information on it other than "it's for houseplants" we can't tell you how effective it's going to be! If you use is on cloudy days, I would get it as close to your grow as possible (6"?) but monitor the top leaves to make sure they're not getting burned... at the SLIGHTEST hint of trouble, move it away a bit and continue monitoring... you should be able to figure out the sweet spot and use it accordingly... Nice neighbor, btw! Good luck!

Could use it as a supplemental light on overcast days and when its dark out but i believe they're quite low power so i doubt it'll make much of a difference after she starts to take off properly, I've only really seen people growing herbs and small flowers indoors with them.

it might do the job while the plant is small, but that's not proper light to use when the plant get bigger.

UV rays - Is it worthSo guys, what are your thoughts about UV light complementation?
Earlier this year, I havested an auto flower, and she dind't bulk up the trich production. I ended up with big flowers but with no effect at all.
I was wondering if that has something to do with my light setup.

Less light for an auto? Maybe 12/12?Been going with 18/6 for my cream autoflower from growers choice from Day 1. Now 5 weeks into flower I’m wondering if she would benefit from less light, like 12/12, as you would for a photo period plant. What do you think? Would she be happy flowering in some more dark period?Setup. Lighting

Good T5HO flower combo, 3000K and PureBloom? http://www.growagromax.com/products/t5-grow-lamps/t5-pure-series/agromax-pure-bloom-t5-high-output-grow-lamp/Thanks to all for your great advice! This is my first grow, currently in veg wk 5, using 8 x 6500K, 4’ T5HO. Flipping to flower in 2-3 wks, will use 4 x 3000K tubes and planning to get 4 AgroMax Pure Bloom tubes. Is 50/50 mix of 3000K and Pure Bloom a good combination of light?

Should I lower my light during flowering?I'm at 24 inches away now, should I lower the light now that she's in full bloom? I went with the recommendation of Mars Hydro and burnt up 3 seedlings as a result. Sadly I only have one bean left of my Fastbuds over this crucial mistake. Running a Mars Hydro SP 250 keep at 36in.Week 5

Very technical question - LED wattage vs actual power usedMy LED is a Phlizon 600w but the power draw is only around 97w at the plug. Perhaps a silly question, but is my diary entry supposed to be 600w or 97w? Looking at other diaries, it looks like yield is expressed as weight/watt and want to be consistent.Other. Other

- I have a greenhouse ceiling that covers 50% of the terrace
- should I grow the plants always under this ceiling, or if it is beneficial to expose the plants to direct sunlight?
- If so, how old the plant has to be to expose it to the sunlight? I don't want to burn my seedling
