Light upgrade - From Veg to Flower - Is this upgrade good?
TheHighentiststarted grow question 2 years ago
I want a light upgrade, for when i flip to flowering.
Atm i have https://420expertguide.com/grow-light/viparspectra-300w/
And i found https://www.spider-farmer.com/products/sf-1000-led-grow-light/
My tent is 80x80-6ftx6
Would one SF1000 be enough? (go for two? Found a good offer)

sf1000 is only 100W VS your Vipar 300W. it would not be a upgrade if you used just the sf1000 for flower, it would be a massive downgrade.
Keep using the 300W. If you wanted to add the sf1000 on top of the Vipar 300W and make it 400W then sure it could work in a bigger tent, but its par map in the tent will be weird.
your tent is 80x80x198 cm or 2x2x6'6" yea? L x W x H, then just use the 300w don't add in the sf1000. it would be better for vegging out a plant in a separate tent.
Good Luck!

I think that if you're spending money then lights are first priority they will grow very slowly with the purple leds but it's you're grow but mine hermie with purple leds so I upgraded

Too much light or PH imbalance?I dont know, something strange about the color, the spots on the leaves maybe? suggestions accepted. Maybe I need to add a fan ASAP, or let more air into the tent?
Dimmer is sset to 20% 25% , maybe I should give more light? or maybe less?

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.Other. General questions

Got a Mars Hydro TS600, will it do alright?My plan is to grow only 1 plant, in a 40x40x120 tent. I know the tent is pretty small but hopefully i can do some training on the plant to grow wide
Will the light do until the end? 100wats, but no light dim possibility. Currently growing seedling at 13 dli at 60 cm

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,

Bend Her Over?Any chance of super cropping a thriving auto on day 42? She hasn’t flinched at training yet; and got hacked on. I’m running out of vertical space with some developing runners. She’s going to stretch a bit yet, and currently 12” from light with 650 PPFD. Bend, or not to bend?a year ago
