Grow QuestionsTrying to get setup right

Trying to get setup right

Student_of_Sciencestarted grow question 2 years ago

I know I prob need to get a nicer light and ditch all the crap lights but for now I have what I have. Perhaps after some success I may be able to get a new light to replace all of them. But how far should it be? 2 feet above rockwool cube? And what watts per plant

The light should be about 36" inches away from the young seedling once It starts growing and 300 watts is enough light to fill a 2x3 grow space.

I would also get a LUX or PPFD meter, easily downloaded as an app. Maybe not 100% accurate but you can get quite a good idea on where the light should be. Hope this helps

Hight Problems I’ve got 3 plants in my tent, but they’re all different heights. To compensate, I’ve hung my light at an angle, so one end is closer to the smaller plants. My question is: Does this help, or am I better off keeping the light level? Any tips for dealing with uneven plant heights?

Started the plants off with 60 watts. Increased to 100 watts today with a 20/5 schedule. Could I increase to the full 150 watts already or should I give them a few days with 100? Thanks in advance for any advice. It’s my first indoor grow with this setup and I’m still learning :)

Do you lower light intensity and temps towards the end of flower?So I’m in mid flower, start of week 7 to be exact. I’m curious on when you guys start pulling back light intensity and going with a little cooler temps. I’m running a 240W S33 from AC infinity in a 3x3. Should I be going strictly off of PAR or VPD at this point.

Help with issues ID I have a photoperiod in a 5 gal using BAS light. It is currently day 3 of week 4 , and I'm getting some damage on the tops. Would this be light stress or another issue? The tips are starting to go light green. Using the 200 watt light for the 2x4x8 ac infinity tent.

How many plants in a 70x70x160cm tent with 100W?Hello, I have a grow tent kit 2x2 with a 100W 301H EVO Spider Farmer light. I have put there three 11L pots. But now I realize the size/light of my tent might not be enough. Could I manage by adding an additional 60W lamp you reckon or is it best to discard at least 1 plant? Thx
