Search online for Daily Light Integral (DLI) chart. The chart shows PPFD and hours per day. Then you can pick the light level based on how many hours you run the light.

Currently running my KingLED 2000 with both Bloom and Veg switches on. Is this the correct time to go just with the Bloom lighting? There's no harm in running both throughout; correct? Except to the power bill of course. Any thoughts?

24 hour light cycle?
How advisable is it to run 24 hour light cycle? I’m interested because I live in the north and we’re getting to winter. The light divers provide some heat. They’re autoflower OG Kush.

Pruning?
Pruning ideas along the stems? Was thinking that some of the branches at the bottom that may never get over the lid of the pot should be snipped off. Also, good idea to keep blue/red light shining under the canopy?

Veg cycle-Blooming
Hi I ordered a mars hydro ts600w which is arriving either today or tomorrow. I also ordered light timers which I just switched from 24hrs to 18/6. My white widow is currently 5 weeks and my Alaskan purples are 4 weeks. I was wondering if I could start flowering by next week?

Light timer Problem
Hey Growers. So I made a dumbass mistakes…..for the last 18 days I have had my light timer set for 12 hrs 15 mins on and 11 hrs 45 off. They are looking good and budding up. I’m wondering is that close enough to 12/12 to have my day 1 flower be true for accuracy sake. Thanks

LUX meter grow question
Can someone check out the LUX meter video and tell me how I should be positioning my lights? I think maybe I have too much light on them. My meter says 600 (x100) that puts me at like 60000 lumen. The converter I used put that to 1541.36 umol/s/m2 which is a lot of light already

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. Temps: 70-75 RH: 50-60 Soil Runoff: 6.5

DIY Light build
I broke my HLG 200 light but the driver is still good. Does anyone know where I can buy a quantum board or any led without the driver? Maybe a diy light that uses 200w meanwell driver. Thanks

When to flip LED's 'bloom' switch on?
When's the best time to flip the 'bloom' switch on my LED with an auto? Should it be at the first sign of pistils or is there a better time to do so? I have already flipped the switch for this plant and kept photo-period the same, looking for info for next grow. Thanks!

I purchased two Vipar Spectra 300 LED Lights. I am only using one right now because i was concerned two would be too much for the seedling phase. Should I keep just the one light or Put up Both ? When would be a good point in the plants life cycle to put up the extra lights ?

What’s up guys me again😂 I’ve got my hps up and running and I’ve got the temperature under control by having my fan blowing directly at the light and I’ve added a oscillating tower fan. How can I keep the temps up when lights go off? Many thanks!
