morganfreeman420started grow question 4y ago

I have a 120x120x200 grow tent and a 730w LED, the FC-E6500 from Mars Hydro. I'm planning to put about 4/5 plants for my first grow and I would like to know if there's any guide on how far I should place the LED from the plants at each stage of growth. THX

Aldo90answered grow question 4y ago

I use the 450w mars light in my 150x150x200. I have to hang the light at the very top towards the end. I'd start the light 3 feet (36 inches) above any seedling run on 50% for the first week. That light is very powerful, maybe too powerful for that sized tent. You will be fine, just keep a close eye on them. Raise the light as the plants grow, and use training, topping, lst or anything that will keep the height of the plants equal.

Switching light schedule for an auto and Phototype!I'am growing together an auto and a phototype with 20/4 light circle. For my phototype is about time to change light schedule for flowering, will my auto be badly impacted by switching to a 12/12 light? Or should I move every day (same place but no light) the photo for the night?

Lighting question I am running the Viparspectra 450w LED as my light for 4 autos in a 2x4 space. I am worried this isn’t enough, especially because of its lower levels of red. Should I upgrade to something stronger like a Mars hydro 600 or 1000 before flowering start?Or if not Mars something else?

Light distance for Seedlings My question is my 2 seeds have popped out and I am using 3- 8.5 watt 5000K LED lights to light them up. Both plants are under humidity domes so how far should I put the lights above them? I have them in a make shift grow tent for now as my regular tent is finishing up a grow.

23 hours light per day?I’m running 4 autos in a 4x4 tent on 20 hours of light per day. I’m thinking about the possibility of changing the light hours to 23 hours a day and 1 dark hour. I’m currently on week 8/9, I’m expecting it to finish roughly 12/14 weeks from birth. Any thoughts on this growers?
