Rangaku
started grow question 3y 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. 🌱🌱🌱

24 or 18 and 6
Been running my lights 24 hours a day on my seedlings. Since I am growing autos, should I be at 18 and 6 now? Or should I keep running them 24 for the first couple of weeks to help veg up little before giving rest? This is my 1st time growing autos and 1st indoor grow in 20 yrs

Temperature.
Is a heat matt sufficient to supplement temperature in a small grow tent? (2x2x4 full AC infinity set up). Operating from well insulated winter shed space. (Nueb alert!)

Alright so this morning from 8am to 4pm my power was out. I transplanted last night and soaked the medium pretty well. Will this power outage hurt my girls. Did the temps being 10 degrees lower all day hurt them. How soon will I know if I get root rot or anything of that nature?

Does anyone use regular Led lights?
I have my 2 tangies growing one in soil and one hydro. I decided to try LED, lights 14.5 watts (2), a large plant grow light 8 actual watts (1), and a true day 9 actual watt. Has anyone else had success with these lights?

Grow light question
I bought a cheap light by KingLED. It’s only 100 Watts and I’m unsure if it’s enough for one plant. The light has 2 switches, one for veg and one for flower. Should I always have both on since it will be an autoflower?

How to get a new led light from sponsor
I need a new led light. I'm trying to get some from contests but it seems quite difficult and sometimes the awardees seem to not always be the best. Does anyone know how I could get a light from a good sponsor? Thank you my growmies! Hope everything is ok with you (=

Ich habe mir von Amazon eine Lampe bestellt wahrscheinlich wird sie nicht die Superleistung haben aber ich dachte mir falls ich mal Blüte mache und ich doch noch ein paar Samlinge habe könnte ich diese trennen. Was haltet ihr davon ? Momentan dient sie nur als Unterstützung

Colour lighting
Thanks to eveyone that replied to my last question, really means a lot! Another quick question about lighting I had was if I should have blue light for veg then red for flower or just have the mixed purple on for the duration of the plants life?

Very technical question - LED wattage vs actual power used
My 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.

Floodlight for bloom supplement
I have read that my vipar is not the very best for bloom. I want to encourage and support the flowering with my philips 50w 4000k floodlight, what do you think, will this make a worthy difference? (Until I get a new all arounder light)

I have ordered the VipaSpectra Pro 1000W. My tent is I think 3x3 maybe a bit more? I have the 3 girls (4 next grow) Thoughts on using P1000 with the existing ViparSpectra 600W together, for flowering?

Dialing in FC-E6500
Hey!👋😺. I have a question about distance for anyone using the FC-E6500 (no meter). All the lit. we've found says 12" the entire grow and simply adjust the dimmer throughout plant stages. This really doesn't sound right to me. We're now at 13"/50% (12"/75% was too much) TY!❤️🌱
