Rangakustarted 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. 🌱🌱🌱

How to measure lumens of a full spectrum LED light.Since a lux meter only measures certain spectrums of light, how do I use a lux meter to determine the right height of my full spectrum grow light? I have it at the recommended distance but I have signs of light stress. Bleaching of some upper leaves. I moved it up 4 more inches?Week 4

Electrical power calculationActual power consumption of lights is lower than led manufactorer says.
25 leds of 3W each = 75W plus an internal fan plus some other circuits,Total power should be more than 75W and i calculated 58.3W overall.
Vac=220 , I=0.265A
Any ideas?Setup. Lighting

I Made a Big MistakeI forgot the timer open and the plant has been lighting for 2 days now. Normally I have to turn the lights off at 6 pm. What should I do?
Should I wait until 6pm? Or should I turn it off and switch to a new light schedule?

Viparspectra P2000 height and intensityFor those that have experience with the light I'm using, Viparspectra P2000, how high and what intensity percentage should I have it? Currently I'm at 21" at 75% power. Also, I run it 24/7. I have an app on my phone and it says my DLI is at like 56 which seems way too high.Week 3

Lights went off and then on in flower [3rd week]quick question, my breaker overloaded today and turned off power to my flowering tent. They were about 30 min away from lights out which I figure shouldn't be that bad, but while solving the power issue the lights came back on. Will they be affected and how?
Thanks in advanceWeek 6

Second light in one tent3 fan, 1 carbon filter, humidifier works inside and the tent is 120x120. I have 1 240w qb inside, i like it but i want more yield. So my question is i buy second 240w qb would it be good or it would disturb the balance? Also im afraid maybe electric bill will be too much to hide?Week 6

Light Burn? Mars Hydro TS3000 at 30% Power, 26 inches away per manual. I have since raised back to 30 inches.Is this light burn? I noticed some slight yellowing/crispy looking leaf at day 11. Light is about 30% Power, about 30 inches away. I previously had it about 26 inches and raised when I noticed this issue about 24 hrs ago. Pics are updated.

11/13 for flowerI need my grow to finish flowering ASAP, due to extenuating circumstances... I’ve read that flower can occur faster under 11/13 with some loss of yield. Does anyone have experience here? How much will yield and flowering time be influenced?Setup. Lighting

Swapping lights during floweringDo you guys think that swapping lights at the late flowering stage is going to harm my girls in any way? Been fortunate enough to be able to order myself a Viparspectra xs4000 to replace the v600. And as I understand it should be quite an upgrade.
Thanks for any advice!Week 7
