started grow question a year ago
Has anyone ever moved a plant from HID lights to LED during flower ? Keen to hear from your experience as it’s looking likely that I’ll need to do exactly that in the near future .

Yes it can be done. A lot of times you may need to add a little more cal mag is about only issue. Plus Temps won't be as strong. Good luck. 🌱🌱🌱

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

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?

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.

Hi guys! What light should I get? The viparspectra xs1000 or the marshydro ts1000? I intend to grow in a 2x2 space. Would the viparspectra be as bright as the marshydro because its more efficient?

Lights affect picture quality
I have just upgraded my lights to HPS from CFL and my phone camera doesn't like the light intensity. The pictures come out with light+dark stripes down them! Does anyone have a solution for this? 📸

Questions: See photos. 1. MARS Hydro TS 1000 will not support 4 cannabis plants, correct? Support = Obtaining full plant potential. 2. The Chinese 3000K lighting won’t “hurt” my plants in veg, right? It’s just simply isn’t the lighting that works for veg growth, yea?

Hi, can anyone tell me if it's normal, or why those lower branches are stretching so much? I have only one 50w cob light. Which apparently produces equivalent to 150watt... Is that enough? I have only one plant and a very small grow box. Thanks for any advise :)

Heyho So apparently my plant got bigger than I thought. After stretching its only 30 cm from the Mars TS 1000 (Its already on the highest possible position) And I'm running it at ~80% Do you think I can turn it up to 100%? It's always nice to go here Thanks for helping H. G.

Light timing
My plant has sprouted today, when should I switch my lights to 18 hours and not 24? Also how often should I be watering? Just so the soil around the plant is damp or? Any help appreciated! First ever grow :) blue dream auto 1
