25% TS1000 for sprouting or higher?

Faegrowsstarted grow question 2 years ago

I recently started growing in my new HS40 with the TS1000. How high should I put the TS1000 at untill she sprouds? Should I keep her on 25% untill she sprouts or can I push it up a bit? The light is all the way up.

Hi, hab auch mit ner 1000 TS angefangen. Du kannst die Lampe auf 30cm Höhe hängen und ca. 20-25% Leistung geben. Würde erst mal mit 20% anfangen, erhöhen kann man immer noch.

I never start my seeds under a light. Just a good old fashioned windowsill. When they sprout then they go under light. The sun is free energy.

Personally I keep mine 25% all through veg until a week in flower, if my plants stretch then I would turn the light up higher or simply bring the plant closer to the light, no need to waste your energy when veg

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
