Lamar_Vannoystarted grow question 2 years ago

Hey Thanks for the replies. So about 30-40cm it is 👍 Don't have TS1000 yet, but have one order... expecting it to be delivered today actually I notice you say 24"-30" for germination. Should I have lights on before that actually sprout? Currently complete darkness

Ich würde die Beleuchtung definitiv auch vor dem Sprießen anschalten! Die junge Pflanze sucht sich nach dem keimen sofort den Weg zur "Sonne", also zu deinem Licht . Zudem stabilisiert du so die Temperatur in deinem Zelt und erwärmst das Substrat. So hat sie es direkt lecker warm😁🤤

Lux Meter and Hydroponics Who has experience with using LUX meters to position lights in various stages of hydroponic growth. I feel I am giving mine too much light, based on the readings, but don't want to pull them back. Currently 10" from the plants.

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.

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

Do I need to lower my lights?Do I need to lower my lights? I'm using a Kingbrite 240W Samsung lm301h and I just went into flowering period. I think the light is a bit overpowered for the room, so I've left it at about 21 inches above the tops of the plant. At this distance, all areas are getting 27k lux.

MARS HYDRO TS600 LIGHT STILL ON WHEN TIMER SWITCHES OFF it is a known problem i found 2 forum posts discussing it. Different timers have been tried but it always remains the same. Someone said with a mechanical timer the problem is solved I will try that as soon as I have one. In any case, this is absolutely unacceptable.
